(1611) Romer Lever Lock Picked Open

[@skygh]

You gotta work with what you got. Truer words never spoken.

[@danromo635]

You’re a shining example of Adapt & Overcome! Great Open

[@volvo09]

Very true with oddball and old designs :)

[@hihu7200]

Thanks. Now it is time to go to Google patent search and find the patent for it.

[@hihu7200]

Patent# 147585A. It is patent #147585 in the search, the PDF is # 147585A.

[@robomoto5550]

Ok there's pins on the corners too. But carry on Bill

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

Well done Mr.Bill

[@plankhill]

Short work, once ya got ya tool made. Good Job Bill, as usual.

[@Richard.212]

I enjoy the old locks being picked open.

[@frankbiz]

Awesome pick. You are the real live thing!

[@AThreeDogNight]

Nicely done Bill.

[@RenneVangr]

Looks like BosnianBill has leverlock-fever after getting those picks

[@drewestes]

Great picking Bill. I like to see you overcome and adapt to unusual situations like this. Have a great holiday sir.

[@roysammons2445]

A blob of weld or brass on the tip of the key then tidy it up and you have a slightly longer tip to tension with. Great open.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

0:27 You can clearly see another pin in the lower left corner of the lock, Bill.😉 And at 0:30, maybe one in the lower right corner too?

[@pumajlr]

yep.

[@plug4uk696]

Yes I noticed those 2 bottom ones as well, don't forget BB is doing this trough camera shooting so he might not have seen them at first but I bet he has now ;-)

[@bosnianbill]

Yep, watching in HD @ 60fps is a luxury I don't have while picking. I'm watching through a 2" LCD panel on the back of the camera.😣

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

@@bosnianbill And there are those who say a few more inches doesn't bring a bit more to life!😉

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Great job, Bill!

[@pev_]

It would be nice to see you take these old lever things apart, just to see how well or complex they are made!

[@hihu7200]

It is easy to look up the patents for the lock. It has diagrams, descriptions of how it works, and what part does what. Google has a patent search option. It is awesome.

[@pev_]

I don't want to look at a blueprint since I'm not trying to make this lock. It is always nicer to see things in practice in a video. And Bill has taken many locks apart, it is part of his MO :)

[@gullreefclub]

pev - If you want to see how a lever locks functions take a gander at Andy Mac’s channel because he is the man that Bill has been getting his lever-lock picks from and regardless of what that lever lock might look on the outside it going to work the same way on the inside.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

@@pev_ If you buy him one, send it, and explicitly tell him to take it apart, I'm sure Bill'll be happy to oblige, but if it's a keeper gift, or something to return, then he can't really go around destroying it.

[@pev_]

Cheez, people! It was just a suggestion. I'm not a complete idiot. Of course I could research lever locks elsewhere if I really wanted to. And of course Bill ultimately does what he wants.

[@gordonwiessner6327]

Hey, it did take longer than a Master Lock...LOL

[@MyTube4Utoo]

BosnianBill isn't a lock-picker, he's a magician!

[@ghostedshadow9282]

Morning Bill hope you had a great holiday.

[@StandFast1611]

Nice number 1611, the year of the completion of the bible!

[@DonzLockz]

Slippery tension. A pretty nice old lock. Nice hack. 👌😎

[@ShamelessJames]

cmon man what a tease. talking about how easy it would be to grind open and didn't even crack her open for us.

[@blyatmeister5370]

Hello stranger

[@SurenderSingh-ie6oi]

How do you feel those levers inside a lock?

[@JimFortune]

After all the grinding you did on that key, couldn't you just as easily have used a flat piece of metal?

[@bosnianbill]

Yeah, but I was well into it before realizing that... Oh well, it worked and that's what counts.😀

[@JimFortune]
