 So I'm here with a safe deposit box, probably a safe deposit box lock or some kind of bank lock given to me by Bosnian Bill. I'll show you the keys. This is made by EGLE, or at least the keys are, pretty standard looking safe deposit keys. It's still a lot of company and the serial number written there. Lock itself doesn't have any markings on the face, it does have the same serial number on the back. Probably will try to pick this but I'd like to see what's going on inside first and this to my series of bank lock informational videos so let's see if we can't get this gutted a little bit here so. So there's the cover plate coming off, you can see that it's made of two pieces of metal brass here, I assume steel or aluminum or something feels like steel and that's a press fit in there. Now we see the lock, here's the bolt, here's the keyway which also serves as the actuator for the bolt so this tells me now immediately that if I want to tension this guy I just have to tension this part, some of them there's a bit of the key that does the tensioning so this should just lift out, there we go and there's a little ring on it, you can see that, it does pop off but that acts kind of like a little bearing or spacer down in that bottom part, it's nice because that ends up flush so you can put it back together more easily. The bolt is just a bar of brass with, there's the stump right there, doesn't seem to have any little teeth in it, it's just something you see. Then there's this little spacer here and depending on how the lock is mounted that may act as like a bearing surface for it because otherwise you just have these sharp edges here that it would ride on. So let's lift that out and set that aside and we have our levers now, let's turn this this way. So the first thing we see is that these are not the typical levers that we see in a lever lock, these are horizontal or sliding levers as opposed to ones that rotate on a pivot so they move like this up and down in there as the key presses on them and of course you have to get all of the gates aligned such that the stump can slide through one way or the other. The design is also such that you need the key to lock it and unlock it, you can tell that because the stump will obviously get caught over here. Maybe a design feature such that you can, I bet you can install this with the bolt here or the bolt here. So depending on how this mounts on the bank door or block store or whatever it happens to be, it probably lets it be reversible and they probably get a pattern on that. The other thing that tells me that that might be the case is that you can see a notch here and here and here and here, these are your false gates. They normally don't put false gates on the unlocked side, so when it's unlocked you don't really care about someone picking it back into locks, right? So let's just take a look at these levers, see if there's anything exciting going on here. Looks pretty good. Okay, so lever one, these are nice because they don't bind up on the pivot. Also see these are reasonably thick, just nice solid brass, looks like it has brass springs as well. There's three, four and number five and that's all the parts in there and on the little box. All right, now let's look at the back of one of these guys, I'm just curious. So it does not appear that there's any kind of relief cut on them, sometimes you'll see a little relief cut kind of like this that's on the bolt and I think that's to either reduce friction or make it harder to decode by looking at it. So we're back with the lock reassembled and all the levers in their correct places. When we turn the key, what we're looking for is for these gates in here to all line up so that they stump on the bolt, which is this little bit here, that that can pass through. So what I'm going to try to do is do this without blocking your view too much and the trick is that I don't have anything to keep everybody aligned, so there we go. So you can see in this position, in this position, oops, the levers are all lined, there's a nice slot right through there and so the bolt would be able to pass. So another thing I noticed about this thing is that if you remember there was this little bearing plate and when we got the lock it was in this position here, but this definitely is there to prevent the bolt from binding on these little sharp metal edges of the lock body. So we put that in like that because of course the key is going to be pressing up on this so it wants to be able to slide on that surface as the key. One other note that I thought was interesting about this particular lock, all the other locks we've seen have some kind of little window on them, presumably to aid in either bypassing the lock or picking the lock or accommodating it. In this case the bolt is in front of the levers so having a hole here wouldn't really do much for you, you would just see the little actuator hitting into the bolt and having a hole in the back would be no good at all because this thing is mounted to the door of a safer bolt or something like that so it does not have any of that feature and then the other little sort of interesting thing is that the bottom of that actuator is actually visible down here, I don't know why necessarily they did that but as you turn the key, as you turn the key that actuator moves that way and then comes around. Now this may be a key, maybe for key retention, maybe there's a little pin that goes in here and keeps you from rotating this all the way back around so that you could take the key out and that would allow you to make it one side or the other. I thought that was kind of neat, I haven't seen that in the future before either. So one last look at it with the key comes out, again there may be some key retention, additional key retention gizmo when this thing is mounted but that's all we have for now. So anyhow an eagle, I wrote what I assume is an eagle because the key says eagle. A lot of company made the USA safe deposit or bank or other high security type application lock gutted and we learned a few things about it. Anyhow, this is Alex. Thanks for watching.
