Lauren Here is a padlock that I received in the locked position and without a key. I made a key using a special decoding technique that I invented (no picking, no impression used) The non-destructive process is described in my book: [upl-image-preview uuid=2b8e8d90-4ced-4cd4-b3ef-5c3ac2e09323 url= alt=book.jpg thumbnail_url=https://cdn.antique-locks.com/2026-07-21/1784677911-238603-book-thumb.webp] http://www.blurb.com/b/6061788-the-extreme-antique-padlock-collector
Timothy Hello Lauren Good to hear that you are on this Forum. I have read and see so many of your work that you has post on Lock Picking 101. Just love the way you make all your key the hard way to a clean prefix key. I normally do make some of my own key by cutting and file until the key fit into the lock to working key. I’m sure we all would like to see more of your work….Timothy…..
billdeserthills Hey Lauren, seems like You shoulda been a member here long ago, I just bought a bag of old padlocks and i have been impressioning them this week. Been some real easy ones, so far, which is my favorite
billdeserthills Lauren wroteBill, “which is your favorite” what…? Let’s see some pictures of your work and padlocks. My favorite is when the key is easy to make [unknown]
