hello there again you to family and
friends we're in a different venue today
this is my in-laws junk storage area
things have been stored in here since
1984 and amongst all of those wonderful
treasures I found two trusts chests or
trunks also I found a book of books this
has the complete handbook of locks and
locksmithing by see a Roper really good
book it's one of the keeper books that
stayed here but let's get right to it
alright original ones the ones that have
the handles the handles in the front the
ones that have the handles on the side
mimic the original one see that one on
one side some of the newer ones are the
imitation ones more like cratenbarrel
tomato press would really just fall
apart on you they have a handle on this
side and typically have a handle on the
other side and no hander in the middle
but enough about that
alright so I've gone through the book in
the book has absolutely nothing about
these simple locks I checked for YouTube
I checked on YouTube for videos and I
found nothing there so I can't find this
thing I didn't want to damage the lock
locking mechanism there's actually
another lock that goes through that
secures it that's a security lock lock
of what everyone and this is the latches
blacks has worked well units a little
rusty from being outside but the way
that I found to to circumvent this at
the simple lock is to take a flathead
screwdriver and push it on an angle like
this so I'm gonna get as tight as I can
here an angle like this and start to
turn the lock you only have to turn it
about 90 degrees and it'll push in the
two pins and then while it's tight like
that do you guys talk like that I can
pull the whole assembly up that was
locked
I can I can assure you it was like I can
push it back down and it's locked
okay get in there I can try and use
something and pry it but it's gonna wind
up damage it so push it on a angle like
that like that
rotate it 90 degrees and hold it open
real simple
they weren't meant to be hard they were
meant to secure the top to the bottom so
that you can put the secure in lock in
okay and on the backside quick look at
what it is
once you go that 90 degrees these two
pins push in they push in together and
they pushing these two little locking
tabs no lucky
wedge tabs that's it and you're in I
hope this helps you please don't go
around doing the various things with the
stuff I've showed you this is like the
head scratchers answer guide here since
I didn't find anyone who could answer it
and I saw it upon finding an answer
myself if you if you have any questions
