Taking apart a Yale vintage padlock sent to me from William Mancell in a recent package. No idea on the vintage Yale so gleaned info of them from the likes of William, Mur, Doug and Jack Fox. Will try to source an original blank but if not will modify a flat key blank.

Very cool Paul! That old dude is just absolutely astounding. Like you said, keep it simple stupid. Obviously that design has withstood the test of time. Another great video brother! Keep em comin and stay healthy.

[@RookKnight]

Really neat to be able to take a look inside, serrated pins even back then, wow. 👍👍

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Rook. Yeah, Yale ahead of the curve 100 years ago:-)

[@Lockpicker1973]

Interesting pick and gut on the quite old Yale. Great video

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks mate. Stay well:-)

[@funkeyfastdrawmonkey1483]

Nice pick on ye ol Yale. Would have thought they'd be a 5pin.
Yale must be the 1st company to actually use serrated drivers. Even if they are miniscule.
Great vid mate. Have a good one Paul 🍺🍺🤟😁👍

[@Lockpicker1973]

Yeah, didnt know hey had serrated pins back then

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Funkey. You too mate:-)

[@mattoliverau]

Nice pick mate, always love a pull apart, especially on locks I haven't seen before. Cheers.

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Matt:-)

[@bulletproofdesigns5972]

Nice old yale mate. cant wait to see the key. Cheers

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Craig. Yeah, finding a suitable blank is going to be a challenge. Tried making a key out of a steel blank but unfortunately the keyway is very thin and taking off so much material from the steel blank has compromised the structual integrity of the blank. Work in progress:-)

[@WilliamMancel]

I have never seen anyone impression a push key padlock. On some of those push keys, pin 4 is a larger diameter than the first 3. Those fine serrations tend to get clogged up with gunk on the old locks. Nice job on the old Ironsides buddy.

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks William. Thanks again for this ol' gem:-)

[@jeffmoss26]

LOVE THESE!!

[@totallyrandomlocksandpicks]

Bloody interesting lock mech there thanks for sharing that with us, Cheers mate :)

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks TR. Long time between Coopers mate. Hope all is well in sunny Queensland. Stay well:-)

[@omgitsjoetime]

Different kettle of fish eh?

[@johnmccormick2883]

Nice video. I was confused how removing the top piece with the pin released the cylinder... but I guess the small protrusion on the cap must have held a core retaining plate that went across the body of the lock? And by removing that pin, you released it?

[@crankylock7844]

That's how it kept it captive John. You are correct. Hope you're doing ok and staying well:-)
