By far the silliest set of keys I’ve ever produced… 😝🤣 #locksport

I think this padlock’s front spooled key pin may have been installed upside down by mistake… 🤣 #locksport#badlocksmithing 😝

Good weekend at BSides Bristol helping run the LPV. Forgot to take many pictures. Opened many locks. Met many cool people. Drank much coffee and hot chocolate. #locksport#learning#lockpickingchicken 🤣

Absolutely amazing video on Bramah. Criminal that it has so few views after so long online. Well worth a watch! #locksport#lockhistoryyoutu.be/dM9sBG-dbUo?...

Don’t think I’ve read this in a very long time (over two decades?). But I have an old combination padlock with a misplaced combination that needs opening, so thought it was time to refresh my memory… … and what’s that on the inside cover? The missing combination code! Thanks past me! 🤣 #locksport

… thankfully, past me clearly realised that this was an ideal place to store useful information. There’s the missing padlock’s combination code… 🤣 #lucky

Today’s light reading - Joseph Bramah’s 1785 dissertation on the construction of locks… #research#history#locksporten.m.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Disse... ).

The trouble with disassembling old locks… that, or I’m forgetting how strong I am in my old age… nah, I think it’s the steel… 😝🤣 #locksport#lockcollector
