Please forgive the janky setup. I don't have a tripod, vise, or any other equipment with me, so I was pinning my phone on the nightstand with a book and kneeling on the floor next to it

@alice Nice one! Vintage Russwin locks can be tricky keeping a steady grip is half the battle

@alice Out of context, this post could really appear to be referring to an entirely different sort of video π€π©·

@alice What's amazing is that one could think you're just randomly jiggling it until it gives up, but no, that's precision habits.

@transcendentempress yeah, you can feel it falling into place as you go, and that tells me to adjust tension or change angles slightly, but largely it's a matter of rapidly going through set patterns.

@alice The execution is genuinely impressive to watch.

@alice If keeping a grip is difficult, I wonder: are these kinds of locks harder or easier to pick if they were mortised into a door? I'd assume harder as you'd have less ways to feel the lock.
