Very rusty lock restoration. Padlock of the 19th century. This rusty old padlock was found near an old house. There was a key inside the lock, but that key was from another lock. I decided to restore the padlock. I removed the rust and made a key. Now the padlock works. I hope you liked my restoration.

    I don’t think the Lock Picking Lawyer could have opened this one. Great video and I’ve never seen so many cleaning/rust removal methods as you employed here. It’s also interesting to see that no lubricant was used on these locks. Thank you for posting

    I can only begin to imagine what went through your head as you discovered that it was the wrong key! Congratulations on going on and remodelling it to operate correctly. A magnificent restoration all told.

    amazing to find that the key wasnt actually made for this lock. someone back in the 1800s mustve tried unlocking it with the wrong key by mistake, found that it got stuck, and tossed it, now hundreds of years later youre here restoring the thing, and making that damn key fit lmao.

    My son was hoping to see the sandblaster , but he was happy when the blowtorch came out . Nice work... a lot of work, but you saved a piece of our past. Thanks.
  • The revelation that the key isn't for this lock at all killed me! Nice work! Very cool to see electrolysis in a restoration video.

    I was fascinated the entire time. I love seeing history restored like this. To think someone spent just as much time making the lock. Working on something for it to just rust away for hundreds of years. Until it was lovingly restored back to what it should be. Great job! Also the key being wrong was fantastic
  • I absolutely love that you show us the process step by step. No fake sound or cheesy music. Subscribed. ❤
  • Another excellent restoration! Old locks have always fascinated me, they were surprisingly, more intricate than I had thought.
  • I understand your passion and curiosity to bring this antique padlock back to life. Your hours of work demonstrate your love for these things and I admire that. Well done sir.

    As a registered locksmith of 30yrs this video was very mesmerizing. Great job 👏 we’ve had a couple of these cross our paths at the shop and they are a testament to quality workmanship and functionality

    This made me like old locks way more than modern ones, not only are they cooler looking but they also make very nice locking and unlocking sounds.

    I'm so glad you kept as much of the original lock instead of just replacing it, it looks fantastic. Nice work with the key, I love the pitting from the rust and honestly it adds more character to the lock.
  • As a fellow lock enthusiast, I love seeing old crusty locks being restored back into a fully functional lock after countless years sitting around gathering rust and corrosion. Another fine rextored video mate :)
  • @kimheartsuds
    I think this was the most satisfying restoration I've seen you do! Incredible!!!
  • @RobbinsJoe
    It's very impressive how you could put that back together after having a pile of parts, especially the spring location. Another great restoration, keep up the good work.
  • I love your cinematography. Restoration videos are my top 3, and I gotta say, you’re also at the top! Well done, sir!
