Very Nice Collection, Looking at the Dom D key, looks like it could be split, so it would take 2 Keys placed side by side to open, would be good if 2 people were needed to open lock. I found this by searching 17th Century Lockpicks, Someone, maybe you have posted a picture of maybe 15 17th Century Lockpicks. Looks like they would be good for opening Barrel locks. Can't find picks like that in the 21st Century? Know of anyone who makes those type of picks. I have a Customer(I am a Security, Electrical Contractor/Integrator, Locksmith)who had movers Ship an Anoir and a Prie diu, Shipper Lost the keys, Couple of locksmiths have tried, Just need better tools, The 17th century picks look like they would work, Any suppliers have these type of picks. Again, Excellent Collection.

I've bought from Walkers twice and they are "genuine", as in, they won't run off with your money, they will deliver the goods you paid for to your door. HOWEVER, their prices aren't great and I've seen people complain about their terrible customer service in a few places, for one in the link that kwoswalt provided and also check out Kokomolock's ICL Lever padlock pick Walker Locksmiths review. Kokomolock mentioned the original buyer's experiences in the video and the comments are full of people talking about their crap customer service. Personally, even though they do "deliver", I've vowed not to buy from them again because I don't want to support companies giving other buyers a sh**ty ride. Luckily there are a lot of locksmithing / lockpicking tools suppliers around

Think it is time we stop this talk on Walker, and allow the thread to return to Macgyver101,s lock collection. Please end this hijacking.

Have you considered moving your photos to Imgur or Blogger. I googled some of those images. Interesting.
Have you actually had a Tufloc installed anywhere? I have a friend looking for something like that for a sliding van door. $135 is almost cheap.
I hate to revive an old thread but its new to me. I blame the "search" feature.

!!! HELP !!! Can't see any of the pictures on this post. Everywhere there should be an actual picture, the picture has been cleared and replaced with saying "Please Update Your Account To Allow 3rd Party Hosting. For Important Info, Please Go To Photobucket.com P500"
I clicked on this link to photobucket and it said the following:
"Photobucket rolled out a new update to its TOS on June 26th with just a small, innocuous blog post as an announcement. Users have been finding out about it as their embedded images on other sites have turned into placeholders telling them to update their accounts, and as Photobucket has rolled out email notifications telling them that if they want to keep embedding images, they have to pay $399/year. Users who don't want to embed but want to be able to link to their images have to pay $99.99/year. Free and lower-priced plans provide storage only."
and so HUH!!! They allowed us to link our pictures for years but now are going to just remove all of the links that literally millions of people with their photos and the websites they are linked to unless we pay them 399.00 or 99.00 ???
So what about the millions of people who previously used photobucket to link their photos on sites to provide information for others? And so photobucket could care less how many millions of photos that are cleared off of the millions of different websites that were helping to provide information for millions of people!!!
This means automotive, tractor, hunting, reloading, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, landscaping, gardening, and the list is nearly endless that the sites will no longer have the photos that were uploaded by people to make a reference to their post if they used photbucket to link the photos to them!!!

Yeah, PB changed the way they did things, and now requires the people who want to imbed pictures in forums to pay about $400 per year to do so.

I'm not a fan of photobucket's decision either, but it really isn't very surprising. Photobucket used to host photos for free. While everyone liked that, it clearly isn't a sustainable business model. Photobucket has to maintain a massive number of servers, pay for an expensive internet connection, and pay their staff as well as all sorts of other overhead costs that go with providing a service. They're clearly got to get money to pay for all of that (and make their shareholders some profit at the same time). It's no different than a company offering a free sample of a product or a "free trial" of a service before asking people to pay if they want to continue using that service. I remember dealing with that same sort of thing, as well as photo hosting services simply going out of business, for many years, going back to the mid 1990s. As they say, if you want something done right do it yourself. The only solution I have found to the troubles and hassles of uploading/sharing pics online with crap like this (it's not new) is to own or rent your own server space.
