My sisters 4-cent diary 'padlock'
Then my other sisters' lock on hers.
I then moved my skills to pin tumblers.
Two Lockwood 110/25 padlocks, on said books, LOL.

After that, I stopped being able to find their diaries, hehe.

Well, I don't do that anymore because I was seriously hurt
one time LOL.

Tri-circle padlock about a year ago

Used southord jack-knife set, snake rake and a bit of luck :)
It's all about the tension . . .

I guess you could say it was one of them cheap tulip door handles to a bathroom with my double edged boot knife! Haha it was the cheapest lock ever! But recently a Kwikset bolt and door knob with a paper clip and a tension arm made from a pressed umbrella stem! How cheapo is that?
E=Mc^2 = busted!

Police handcuffs. Still have two pairs that I play with. In a locky sense, not whatever you weirdos are thinking. :roll:

My first was a tiny Master luggage padlock. It turned out to be a good first choice... I think there were only three pins in the thing, but there was *no* room to do anything in the keyway. Once I figured out how to get it open, I switched to one of the larger padlocks... man, what a difference! Compared to the luggage lock, I felt like I could just stick my whole hand in there and lift each pin. :D
