Antique Rusty Padlock Restoration | Perfect Restoration

This padlock looks truly amazing and unusual. My goal was to restore and preserve it, although some parts are completely destroyed by the rust. I tried to keep most of it original. And it also works!
I found this old padlock in the forest while metal detecting. The house site is about 150-200 years old, so that's about the age of this lock. There's a video of me finding it on my other channel: • SILVER on the WW2 posi...

I LOVE OLDER LOCKS AND KEYS,ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY LOOK AS GREAT AS YOUR WORK!!!

Thank you!

[@carldelawter8900]

Great video. Cool lock. Wedding ring is simular to mine. Small vice , cute, very useful for small parts.❤😊

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it ☺️

[@raytaaffe6588]

A very nice job, and I wish I had ONE TENTH of your patience and ability. I was dissappointed you didn't show us a key and demonstrate it being unlocked.

[@user-nx2zb2gp7l]

Замок, собранный на клей, продержится до первого рывка.. Или может лопнуть на морозе. Трудозатраты большие, а результат сомнительный.

[@garymucher4082]

While it is merely a show case lock now, I have to give you a thumbs Up for the amount of effort involved to make it even work again...

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Thank you!

Good work.i'm a person collecting old padlocks. It would be amazing if you made a key as well. Thanks a lot for the effort.

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Thanks for watching! I thought maybe the video would've been too long, that's why I didn't make the key. Maybe next time though, I have some other padlocks too :)

[@Sonia-ju6po]

Really nice work!! It would be great to have a key made for it. I really liked the way to made some new parts.

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Looking at the 3 lugs, I imagine they slid onto a fixed 3 pin chest or box before locking it into place, as extra security. Just a guess.

[@soul_iron_restoration]

That is quite possible I think

[@sawomirpiszczek680]

In my opinion, the ideal solution would be to put a rusty object in hydrochloric acid. He will etch the rust. And restoring old metal objects is an art. Regards ☺

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Thanks for the opinion! There are many ways to clean, yes :)

[@sawomirpiszczek680]

@@soul_iron_restoration I'm just giving you a hint. The acid perfectly etches the rust, and the metal may not be in its natural color, from the so-called patina. However, it is etched with rust. I greet and wish you further success in bringing old items back to life.

[@soul_iron_restoration]

I might try HCl next time. I was actually considering using some acid with this lock but in the end decided to go with the electrolysis. Thanks for the advice!

Big undertaking there dude, and a really sweet result 👍👍👍. Well done brother 👏👏👏. 😎

I think you need a sandblaster dude!! I’ll give you a lot of credit for all the hand sanding !

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Yes! My thoughts exactly! I hope to buy one someday. Thank you mate, the hand sanding part was the longest.

Hello, good job. The padlock can be opened with a key like the one in granny's wardrobe.

[@Scriptorsilentum]

with that post in the keyhole i think they are called "barrel" keys.

Gorgeous lock. Have never seen onr like it. A great find, you did a good job. Your wedding band is stunning. Did you make that?

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Thank you very much! Neither have I. I suspect it's quite old and is probably hand made by some smith. I love my weddimg band too but it was actually bought from Etsy :)

[@massimoserra4787]

Nice work but something forgotten? what's about the key? maybee Part 2 😉

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Thanks, that's a possibility :)

[@robertgsands3521]

I have no idea what you value your time as worth, but watching you work you have high three figures invested in that 50 cent lock.

[@user-ci1vz6ir3x]

[@peterpaliwoda1527]

Did you make a key ?

[@j.g.l.stahl.manufaktur]

Es wäre eine super Sache, wenn du eine technische Zeichnung von den Einzelteilen im zerlegten Zustand machen könntest. So, das die funktionsmaße auch Sinn ergeben. Ich hätte großes Interesse daran dieses Schloss neu anzufertigen, was mit entsprechenden Zeichnungen nicht allzu kompliziert wäre. Was hältst du von der Idee?! Grüße aus Berlin, Johannes ✌️😉

[@soul_iron_restoration]

That's an interesting idea, Johannes. I might do something like that in the future, maybe even a 3D model

[@j.g.l.stahl.manufaktur]

@@soul_iron_restoration Toll! Eine 3D Darstellung wäre natürlich die "Kirsche auf dem Sahnetörtchen"! Grundsätzlich müsste eine Zeichnung aber nich einmal Maßstabsgetreu sein. Hauptsache die Maße sind vollständig und funktionell. Vielen Dank ✌️

[@NolaGal2601]

Looks good, but how do you unlock it ?

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Since the mechanism is very simple I can unlock it with a flat screwdriver

[@paulaobs]

Fill in surface irregularities with tin. Then you can file and polish it with a finish like steel. And to finiched: WHERE´S THE KYE !!!!!

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Tin is a good idea, I have thought of it. The only problem is that tin oxidizes and the color becomes different from the iron. I would have had to paint the lock.

[@ozzymd1]

KEY 🗝️ ?

[@olgerkhan9331]

I wonder what those three holes are for. Nail it on some surface?

[@soul_iron_restoration]

There was a suggestion that the lock was used for locking a chest. So the holes are for setting the lock in a chest.

[@lynx-lynx]

Nice, but where is the key ?

[@jameskelly7360]

That trees not going anywhere

[@arifatabay4153]

Bu kilitin anahtarı nerede.?

[@ako456]

If you had brazed with, for example, brass, the lock would have become stronger. Now just hold a burning cigarette lighter under it and it will fall apart.

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Yes, I agree. My goal was mainly to make it look good, suitable for exposition. As it would have looked back when it was used. Brazing is surely the best method but also quite difficult in this case.

Better not to use stainless steel or anything containing nickel in the electrolysis tank. Apparently it creates an extremely carcinogenic compound during the process.

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Thanks, I will use iron anode next time

[@jtripe]

@@soul_iron_restoration Iron cathode. The anode (negative electrical connection) is attached to whatever you are removing the rust from. The cathode (positive electrical connection) is attached to your sacrificial conductor (most likely iron, perhaps some rebar or similar). The current travels from negative to positive.

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Yes, I actually meant cathode, mixed up the names, happens a lot :) The connection in my setup is right.

[@terrypullen1272]

Where was the key?

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Found it without the key

[@freireisender2]

And now give it to the LockPickingLawyer

А где ключи к замку?! 😢 Их разве не надо было изготовить? 😮Замок без ключей это просто кусок бесполезного железа😂. Даже если все восстановить и покрасить😊. Надо делать все до конца, бро - восстановил замок, сделай к нему и ключи, чтобы можно было пользоваться😊.Закрывать тот же сундук, а не просто повесить для красоты замок😂

[@soul_iron_restoration]

Благодарю за коммент. Вы правы, надо было сделать. Изначально не стал, так как видео и без того затянулось, теперь понимаю, что не помешало бы 😉

[@AndreySizov1970]

Замок который чтобы открыть просто выбили шплинт...... Ключ делать бесполезно вставленный вдоль душки клин и жести его откроет. Понятно что задача не создать супер замок, а просто реставрация старой вещи. Но гидролиз тут явно был лишним. Сразу нагрев и все.

[@NaNa_DL]

Wait, how about the key? 🤔🤔🤔

[@soul_iron_restoration]

The mechanism is so simple I can unlock it with a screwdriver :) I was thinking to make a key as well but the video would've been too long
