This is one of the more random posts on Cup of Jo, but this gif of a standard lock is really cool. Did you know it worked like this?! Definitely going to be impressed by my key when I go home tonight.

Very interesting, indeed!
Very interesting! I’m definitely going to file this under information I may never need but is useful to know. lol I’ll have to share this with my friend, he’s a locksmith in mankato.

That’s pretty cool to see!

I learnt this from the way you had to pick locks on Oblivion, the Elder Scrolls game… Completely fascinating though! I always wonder how many locks and keys actually end up being the same around the world.

Wow! I did not know this, and to be honest had never really thought about it. But it is so clever!!
Awesome just awesome article. I think this article may help my friend also that’s why I just share this article with my facebook. I am a regular reader of this blog. I learn a lot from your writing. Once again want to tell you good job. Thank you.

This is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen all week!
totally mesmerizing. I think I watched it twenty times.

As nerdy as this is about to sound… this is actually amazing
I didn’t know that! so cool!
i tell people about that high five tip ALL THE TIME! seriously. and the lock–i am fascinated! nerdy posts rule:) xx
Whoa, mind blown! One of those things you don’t really think about, until one day you’re like, “wait how /does/ that work, exactly?” Interesting.
My hubby worked at a hardware store for a while and had to “re-key” locks all the time. It involved taking the whole thing apart and dropping in all those tiny pieces, so I DID know that’s how it works! The GIF makes it look super cool, though :)
Oh my god – I never knew this! This blows my mind – it’s so simple but so genius!
so cool.
I just signed up. For 3 delicious meals for 2 people cost lesss than what it usually costs for take-out! Thank you so much for this, Jo. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Can’t wait to try it out!
This is actually very cool and very pertinent to myself at the moment. I’m planning on rekeying some locks this weekend and although I’ve watched youtube videos and read instructions, this totally puts it together for me visually, thanks!!
That’s pretty cool. I love random stuff like this!
Love it!
