I love the style of the older locks, and the graphics on the packaging still makes me smile. Sadly many of them are not secure in the least, but remember they are from a different time.
It's a full YALE knock-off, same tailpiece clip, slide it sideways. the real locks are ok. Have a great day, I have several real Yale's with the core's rear end all snapped off.
When I moved into my house there was a similar Bird rim lock on the front door. After I immediately swapped it out for a much better lock, I tried picking it and I too found that it raked open almost instantly... fairly terrifying!
I find your videos and introduction so relaxing. Great content and wonderful back catalogue. Ps, I just picked up three grubby used locks for £5. I covered them in Heinz tomato sauce and left them for an hour, washed them off with an old toothbrush and they came up like new.
Nice pick on a crap lock, not to be confused with the paclock, which is also a crap-lock with its unpleasant sharp edges and inexpertly brushed "finished" parts, if they even have a finishing dept. But i digress... your enthusiasm over the nature of what the lock represents as an art piece is shared and much appreciated.
That's the first lock I ever picked. Still have mine, no pretty box was in the door 😂 I don't have the key in it's original form either I filed it to make a bump key.
The first lock I ever picked was a particularly poorly-made Chinese transparent training lock. If I tensioned the core, I could stick another tensioner, a skewer, even a toothpick in and it would instantly spring open. It was still harder to open than that thing!😂 It looks like they just threw in 5 identical uncut keypins, then inserted a randomly cut key and filed them flush. 😯
@RoySammons sent me one of these, it was his old office door lock 😂 and he said turn it into a Challenge Lock. Which I did. Took me ages, very difficult to make it harder. It's doing the rounds and it's called #EasyBird - How quickly can you open it? Nice one mate 👍 🍻 🍻 🍻 CHEERS 🍻 🍻 🍻

OK, so this is not a good lock… but I really do love the box. Which probably isn’t a great endorsement lol

Haaaa! I had an old Bird lock similar to that one on my office door done years back. And yes mine was almost as easy to open.
Great Box!!😀
That just wants to open 😂
🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾🇬🇧🍻👏👏👏
It had quite a flat set of cuts to be fair
The easiest lock by far to pick open!
It is cute and so well made, well worth the 4,000 Euros you paid for it

I remember these were popular in the early 70’s, they were a cheap copy of the Yale,
