Hi all, hopefully you enjoy today's video! This one was very satisfying to get restored and, although it will stay as more of a display piece, it's nice to see it back in working order - Let me know what you think!
I wished there was a Love ❤️ button on here. I love this alot. Thank you ever so much for Sharing this ❤️ 💕 💜 Video. These are items like this I grew up with in my Grandmas house.
I am so glad I came across your video I have a very old house that still uses these I had a new one installed from Home Depot love ❤️ the video and glad 🙂 I now know the name of this famous duo lock 🔐 set
Hahahaha I was wondering what you’d have to say about this one - I’m glad to have brought it back from the dead! Thanks as always for the puns and have yourself a nice weekend!
That was one crusty lock assembly,great design,too bad that style of workmanship is not available today,just great to see you bring these beautiful pieces back to life.your killing it as always.beautiful restoration.keep it up 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Haha yeah this thing had definitely seen better days! Right, it’s amazing this thing is still working after all it’s been through, I think we can definitely call it a well designed and manufactured lock! I appreciate it, Tom - have yourself a nice weekend!
Just got to see the video I love Old door knobs thank you for sharing your time and restoration of Old things it takes me back to grandpa's house it was very nice to see God bless you I want to see more
Thank you for the comment, Harry! It was great to be able to salvage this old lockset, even though it's a bit worse for wear after all these years. I'll be restoring a number of locksets like this over the next several months, though none are as rusty as this one was haha. I appreciate the kind words - Thank you for watching!
It’s been so long since I just did a natural bronze finish, and I reckon this was the perfect piece to do it with! As always thank you for tuning in, Dori!
@@thomaswelsh7757 100%, I’ve learned more and more over the past few years that almost anything can be salvaged with enough time/energy! Thanks a lot for watching!
Right, though I've found there to be so many lovely different designs out there that it's hard to chose any one design I'd like for the whole house! Thanks a lot for watching!
Hahaha I really wasn't sure what it'd look like inside but I figured if there were any broken parts inside I could always attempt to make new ones, though that would be terribly time consuming haha. Thanks as always for watching, and have a nice weekend!
I appreciate it! This one was a great deal of fun bringing it back from the dead. Haha yeah I have a couple hundred uncut keys so they better get put to use as often as possible! Thanks as always for watching!
This old set had seen better days to say the least! I'd be curious to know its background, but unfortunately the seller only had a vague description and probably thought no one was crazy enough to buy it hahaha. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful job - thanks for sharing! I, too, have a collection of antique mortise locks that I have built over the years by scavenging locksets from old doors I find in the garbage, renovations, yard sales, etc. I strip, repair and refinish the doors; some are re-used for period restoration jobs, and some I sell. Restoring the locksets is by far my favourite part of the whole process - there's something remarkably calming/meditative about it. The restored locks *usually* go back on the doors they came from; but sometimes there's an unusual, rare, or particularly beautiful lock that's just impossible to part with....
Thank you, Norman! Very cool, I recently restored my workshop door and gadzooks it was a lot more work than anticipated getting those dozen or so layers of paint off hahaha. Right, restoring old locks like these back to a condition where they're working silky smooth is greatly satisfying! Haha I can imagine there are some pretty cool ones you've stumbled across - There were so many gorgeous designs offered back in the day to choose from. Thank you very much for watching!
Hey thank you, George! It was super satisfying turning this old lock into something that works once more, though it's definitely seen better days haha. take care and have a nice rest of your weekend!
Thank you, Courtney! I agree, this set really looks best in a simple natural bronze finish. Right, imagine a whole house full of this hardware - Whichever house this was originally installed in must have been gorgeous back in the day! Thanks a lot for watching!
I appreciate it, Heather! Haha they really were talking a lot more than usual in this video for some reason. Thanks as always for watching, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Hahaha yeah this was a really grim looking set at first. It may not have ended up perfect, but the fact that the whole thing still works (surprisingly well too) and didn't need anything replaced aside from a couple springs is a bit of a shocker haha. Thank you for the support and have a nice week!
Haha yeah this one was just about a goner - It's nice to see it rust free and back to something that functions! Take care and as always thanks for watching, Samantha!
Oh that came oh so sweet. Nice finish sir. When I first got a look at the project it looked to like mount rust more, man it was bad. Thanks for the video sir.
Thank you, Terry! Haha mount rustmore is just about the best way to describe this sorry looking little lock. It was great fun turning that pile of rust into something functional again, albeit with a bit of pitting haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Haha yeah it was definitely more work than usual but it was great fun to get this poor little lock back in working order! Thanks a lot for stopping by man, and have a great weekend!
Well that turned out much nicer than I expected.. But then, you're the master.. Job well done.. thx for bringing us along for the ride.. take care my friend...
Hey thanks a lot, Gary! I was pretty happy with how this one turned out, though with all that pitting inside the case and on the small parts it’ll be best to stay as a display piece rather than be installed on a door haha. I appreciate the kind words, and have a nice weekend!
Hey I really appreciate the kind words! I may only be 26, but restoring old dilapidated (especially hardware related) items like this sorry old lockset is definitely a passion of mine - It's a real shame that almost everyone I know would have thrown this out without thinking twice about it, but I suppose that's the mentality these days! Thanks a lot for watching!
@@randomrestoration6858 I'm glad someone your age can appreciate the magnificent casting process of that old lockset . Beautifully designed and manufactured pieces need to be preserved and appreciated by all generations. Excellent job .
Hey I appreciate it! This one was especially fun to get restored back to a functional state - Much better than a pile of rust I say haha. Thanks as always for watching, and have yourself a great week!
Excelente Restauración! Hermosa cerradura y pomos de bronce trabajado a mano! Quedo Maravillosa! Una restauración hecha con cuidado, con delicadeza y respetando al cien por cien las particularidades de la pieza. Muy buen trabajo! En lo personal me fascina el bronce, su color rojizo, dorado, luminoso, brilloso, un metal noble! Es raro que no haya encontrado antes este canal. Voy a ver que otros vídeos hay en el canal, espero que sean tan bueno como este. Disfrute mucho de esta restauración, insisto, quedo maravillosa. Gracias por el vídeo.
Right, it’s such a gorgeous old set! It was very fun transforming this one from a pile of rust to something that was functional haha. As always thank you for watching, Tim!
@@timsmith1589 I've been tempted to make a second channel with random videos that have a bit of vocal commentary in them and if I ever have enough free time to get around to it I'd definitely make a video like that!
No wonder it's been a while, since your last video! I bet this restoration took a while but, damn, the result is spectacular, as usual. I've always found JB Weld was easier to work with than fiberglass filler and gives me smoother results right off the bat; I bet you spent one helluva long time sanding, given how smooth the lock looked. Well done, Sir!
Hahaha yeah this one was a bit more effort than usual but it was great fun being able to save this old set! I’ll have to give that a try in the future. I ended up using the fiberglass filler followed by a putty to fill in smaller defects - I left it a bit rougher than it could have been but wanted to match how it would have looked originally. I appreciate it, have a great weekend!
Much appreciated! Yeah they really started fazing out this style of hardware in the very early 1900s which is most unfortunate, just think of all the lovely gorgeous there would have been over the years! Thanks a lot for watching!
Looks beautiful and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!! Still looking forward to that other set on the door in your home LOL I know it's to early Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Hey oneshot, I appreciate it! Hahaha I promise I'll get to it within the next 1-50 or so years. Thanks as always for the support, and have a great rest of your weekend!
Bah super travail🥰👍👍 👍 comme d'habitude c'est vraiment mes préférerais j'aimerais en avoir partout chez moi ça serait trop la classe j'adore, voilà voilou, a bientôt .😀🤚. Nathalie France 🇨🇵 Normandie
Какие великолепные вещи производили в 19 веке! И,судя по штампу внутри замка, не в маленькой мастерской, а вполне промышленным образом!Реставратору браво!
Hey I appreciate it, Kevin! I knew this would be a fun one to restore, and based on how rough it was once all that rust was removed I'm glad I got to it before it was a total lost cause haha. Thanks again, and have a nice resto of your week!
Thank you, Sally! This one was especially fun to get back in working order, though it definitely still shows some signs of its past haha. Thanks as always for watching, and have a nice rest of your weekend!
Ooh! I've a couple lovely doorknobs/hinges from the 1910's that are highly detailed like that. One is copper and in good shape, the other is steel, I think, and very worn. But it just stuns me how much detail the put into something so mundane and hardly even looked at nowadays.
Sweet, there were so many gorgeous ornate sets like this back in the day! Right, hardware really isn't something you'd think would have much effort put into making it so ornate! Thanks again for watching, and enjoy your weekend!
Thank you, Joe - I was pretty stoked to get this shabby little lockset totally rust free and restored back to its former glory! I'd like to thing that someone 130 years form now would be more than willing to save a grim looking lockset like this one and save it from the trash, but I guess we'll never know haha. Thank you very much for watching!
Maybe you could put a small laminated sticker inside projects like this with "restored by Random Restorations / John Doe on 10/10/2022“ which a future restorer may find and add to
@@joeschmoe4622 I've had a few people recommend that and I think it's a great idea! I'd definitely like to get a cheaper label maker at some point and add a small label somewhere inside the locks I've restored
WOW! I think this lock set was at the end of it's potential recovery. The pitting is so deep, and so much rust. Is this the rustiest thing to date that you have restored? I give you a lot of credit for putting in the effort. You show that even when it looks beyond repair, there still may be a way to save it. I did love the design on the knobs and backplate. So unique. Are those farm animals I hear? 😃
Haha right, the pitting around the keyholes on both sides of the case is so deep that I'm surprised there were no rusted through areas. I think we can say this little lock had seen better days! Yeah this is definitely the rustiest item I've come across and restored so far. For perspective, an overnight soak in my rust remover removes all rust on all of my normal projects. This lock soaked for a week and still had to go back in for more which is how you know it's bad haha. I appreciate it, this one was great fun restore back to working condition! That is indeed what you're hearing, the like cruising up very near to where I work and provide me with some morale support haha. Thanks as always for watching, and have a great rest of your weekend!
That was amazing work, sir! There was so much rust on there I began to wonder if you retrieved this poor thing from a shipwreck. Then I wondered if your pants were retrieved from the same shipwreck. ;) PS: I love Evaporust. I know a lot of folks love sandblasting, and there is a very relaxing element to seeing it done, but for jobs like this Evaporust will get into far more difficult to reach places. The angry goats approve.
Hahaha I cannot confirm or deny finding those sweet pants underwater in the near vicinity of the lock. It’d be a shame for them to go to waste haha. Yeah it’s great for getting in every nook and cranny that you wouldn’t be able to get to with a sandblaster, especially when it comes to things like screw holes, though as you mentioned it’s way more satisfying to watch sandblasting! Thanks a lot for watching, and have yourself a nice weekend!
Haha man I have no idea what happened to that stuff since the last time I used, but let's face it - It looked pretty tasty hahaha. Thanks as always for stopping by, and have a nice weekend!
Now that's the Type of door knob I would love to put in my house. The Gentleman that we bought the house from Modernized it before came into the Picture. But it's ok I can live with it.
Right, it's a gorgeous little lockset! I've seen a lot of older homes where the doors have been replaced with modern ones, or the hardware has been swapped with really generic modern hardware and I always question the sanity of whoever made the change haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Hi all, hopefully you enjoy today's video! This one was very satisfying to get restored and, although it will stay as more of a display piece, it's nice to see it back in working order - Let me know what you think!

What a special project to be able to do. I wonder if in a 130 years someone will be restoring these again
Thank you, Joe - I was pretty stoked to get this shabby little lockset totally rust free and restored back to its former glory! I'd like to thing that someone 130 years form now would be more than willing to save a grim looking lockset like this one and save it from the trash, but I guess we'll never know haha. Thank you very much for watching!
Maybe you could put a small laminated sticker inside projects like this with "restored by Random Restorations / John Doe on 10/10/2022“ which a future restorer may find and add to
@@joeschmoe4622 I've had a few people recommend that and I think it's a great idea! I'd definitely like to get a cheaper label maker at some point and add a small label somewhere inside the locks I've restored
WOW! I think this lock set was at the end of it's potential recovery. The pitting is so deep, and so much rust. Is this the rustiest thing to date that you have restored? I give you a lot of credit for putting in the effort. You show that even when it looks beyond repair, there still may be a way to save it. I did love the design on the knobs and backplate. So unique.
Are those farm animals I hear? 😃
Haha right, the pitting around the keyholes on both sides of the case is so deep that I'm surprised there were no rusted through areas. I think we can say this little lock had seen better days!
Yeah this is definitely the rustiest item I've come across and restored so far. For perspective, an overnight soak in my rust remover removes all rust on all of my normal projects. This lock soaked for a week and still had to go back in for more which is how you know it's bad haha.
I appreciate it, this one was great fun restore back to working condition!
That is indeed what you're hearing, the like cruising up very near to where I work and provide me with some morale support haha. Thanks as always for watching, and have a great rest of your weekend!
Awesome 🥰
Thank you very much!
Un trabajo muy hermoso.
¡Gracias lo aprecio!
That was amazing work, sir! There was so much rust on there I began to wonder if you retrieved this poor thing from a shipwreck. Then I wondered if your pants were retrieved from the same shipwreck. ;)
PS: I love Evaporust. I know a lot of folks love sandblasting, and there is a very relaxing element to seeing it done, but for jobs like this Evaporust will get into far more difficult to reach places. The angry goats approve.
Hahaha I cannot confirm or deny finding those sweet pants underwater in the near vicinity of the lock. It’d be a shame for them to go to waste haha.
Yeah it’s great for getting in every nook and cranny that you wouldn’t be able to get to with a sandblaster, especially when it comes to things like screw holes, though as you mentioned it’s way more satisfying to watch sandblasting! Thanks a lot for watching, and have yourself a nice weekend!
Dou muito valor a toda e qualquer tipo de restauração! Teu trabalho é esplêndido!

Спасибо за видео!

Hey большое спасибо за добрые слова!
Now that's the Type of door knob I would love to put in my house. The Gentleman that we bought the house from Modernized it before came into the Picture. But it's ok I can live with it.
Right, it's a gorgeous little lockset! I've seen a lot of older homes where the doors have been replaced with modern ones, or the hardware has been swapped with really generic modern hardware and I always question the sanity of whoever made the change haha. Thanks a lot for watching!
Beautiful results. I subbed you.
Much appreciated! This one was great fun to bring back to life! Thank you for watching, and have a nice week!
