Krypos are you talking about locks or tall chesty blondes? Lol. Because I know how to handle the latter, but still a noob with the locks, haha.

Perhaps this could be a start of a new saying: "Locks are a lot like women...". Let's see how many things us lock gynecologists (a new term?) can fit in there. :P

Of all the things in the picture I spotted two Abloy 3018 padlocks with Classic keyways :D ...got to remember next time when going to shopping to buy a life :wink:

Sure is nice workplace. Reminds of my old own room at parents house where I had a very similar light above the desk. Very convenient and doesn'y shine in the eyes :)

I have thought to take a picture of my "collection" of different locks and stuff and tools I have bought along my enthusiasm :D

old saying

Postby raimundo » 29 Jun 2007 9:00

Krypos, there is already an old saying, "love laughs at locksmiths" not going to speculate on what that means, but I think its related to "locks keep honest people honest."

Anyone got any more, does shakespeare mention locksmiths? everything he wrote is not an old saying.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

HOW do you know THAT?! man, good eye. It does in fact say 3015-3018 on those two locks.

and I'm sure you saw the Model 231 padlock and the Exec key and cylinder sitting on the bench. ;-)

He stood without and would not knock,
Because he meant to pick the lock.”
