Happy 2020! A lock a day keeps the doctor away

[edocdab]

Well, if you need two picks for it, we can only imagine the trouble us mortals would have with it

75 days already, congratulations!

I remember I could pick it with each one of those picks. Today I started with one and finished with the other. So I decided to put both in the picture.

Thank you for your compliments, edocdab, but you're exaggerating. I'm a good picker but not out of this world. I know many people that are much better than me.

Cheers

I have only stated facts since birth

What a beautiful piece of industrial design, they don't make stuff like that any more.

[jeffmoss26]

actually they still do WB is going strong in their 160th year!

Indeed, that WB padlock is pretty solid and well made. I love brass padlocks!



Day 78 of 366. Old and worn but still working.

Nice souvenir. Almost wanted to say fabulous... Interesting key design also.

Day 80 of 366. A COMPAQ wafer padlock. A gift from a friend who used to work in IT. It was many years ago.

Cheers

[edocdab]

Reminds me of the locks on PCs to prevent starting. Nice

That black padlock should have been used in a server room. My friend was a sysadmin.



Day 81 of 366. This is my smallest padlock.

Cheers

[edocdab]

The tip of the pick looks huge in comparison. Must be around 2cm or something.

You made me curious so took out the caliper. It's 1,55 mm. 3 pins and key retaining. Not bad for such a small padlock.

Cheers
