Lock manufacturer product video thread

Postby Squelchtone » 1 Jun 2018 9:04

I would like to start a thread where we can keep adding any videos you find from lock companies showing their history, manufacturing process, or a particular lock of interest. I prefer we use only lock company made videos, I know there are a lot of unboxing and review videos made by pickers and collectors, this thread is not for those videos. Shows like How It's Made or Modern Marvels are ok to share.

Here are a couple videos from Wilson Bohannan showing their history and manufacturing process. I don't know about you but I could watch hours and hours of locks being made.

Enjoy and please add your favorite lock company videos!

OK it isn't a lock but it is interesting and part of the same locksmith industry. MOD remove if not appropriate.
