Anyone Notice I'm Obsessive?
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 12:57 pm
So, Im selling all my modern locks on ebay RIGHT NOW! I'm doing this so I can pursue my new passion for Antique locks. Here's where Im at now. I have a total of 5 Reg'd Mail locks, two of which are Treasury Locks. I have 4 more on the way. I need to make keys for the Reg'd Mail locks and also the Treasury Locks. The Treasury Locks are KD from the others. I also have 3 No-Key padlocks. Two are Chicago No-Key padlocks and one is an Edwards. I need to decode the Edwards and one of the Chicago No-keys. I'm not going to keep mANY locks. I might keep the American Keyless Lock Co. Chicago No-Key I have on ebay, that is, if it doesn't sell past the reserve. But my primary goal is to refurbish, key, decode and document all the ways of doing so, whilst making money on the side to help support my family. It's my dream one day to become a Locksmith, but as of right now, I like where I'm at and what Im accomplishing. But I noticed today that Im so obsessive! I obsessed over the S&G Environmentals and got very far. My success there has platued however. SO now I've found this sector of the lock world. I will conclusively devise a method to decode No-Key padlocks and I will collect and document all of the Reg'd MAil Keys. There are many many many different Reg'd Mail keys and the padlocks sell for rediculous amounts sometimes. But If I do this right, the profits from my refurdished/decoded/keyed locks should roll over and fund the new locks, I haven't had a chance to buy yet. SO anyways, I just thought I'd share this so you guys know whats going on with my ebay sales and my soon to be relentless posts about what apear to be the same locks. Im going to add pix to this thread of my new projects and also make relevent new threads as I go along. Thanks for your help and consistant support everyone!
