Well … it is clear I can’t keep my promise of posting at least once a week. So you’d better subscribe to the RSS feed or follow me on twitter. <\/p>\n

Just got back from a small tour trough the US. Visited three lock factories, a couple of interesting companies and met lots and lots of interesting people. And all these people had things to tell and … locks to show. As you might know I am a big fan of ‘the rare russian lock’<\/a>, and was in the blessed circumstance to have held three different models of these masterpieces in my hand in just one day at different locations. And I managed to shoot some images of two of them. <\/p>\n

\"Russian<\/a><\/p>\n

I will start first with a version that was unknown to me<\/a>. It is a ‘combination only’<\/a>, and to be honest I was in such a hurry I don’t even know how many digits the code of the lock is. What is clear is that is was used for the same purpose of the other lock I covered in this blog some time ago. The idea is that the lock goes over a keyhole and a safe or door can only be opened if the correct code is dialed first. I also like the details of the hand engraved<\/a> serial numbers on the back<\/a> and in the inner ring<\/a> of the lock, as well as side pins that lock<\/a> and unlock<\/a> the lock (and the red seal paint on the screws).<\/p>\n

The other lock was already covered here once, but here is an image<\/a> of the one I saw last week. So nothing new except another key<\/a> as before<\/a> and serial number<\/a> that is just six numbers off the one we knew before<\/a>….<\/p>\n

As I am writing this blogposting, the impressioning championships in Hamburg are in progress …. curious to hear who wins! Getting life sms’es and will edit the post once the score is known …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
