Peterson pry bar...who knew?
Had to open some old locks for a sheriff's auction. The owner of an old farmhouse had recently died and the tax liens were unpaid. The county sheriff's department had taken legal possession of the property. First lock was a Keil rim lock, picked. Second, was a warded bit lock aka skeleton key, interior bedroom door with no key. Pry bar long leg rotated as a key. Third lock was old dresser top drawer, barrel lock, no key. Pry bar short leg rotated as key. Finally an old steamer trunk, no key. Short leg of pry bar. These are simple locks, but I thought using a pry bar was worth sharing.
