The Chinese carved bronze password padlock has five rotating discs made of bronze with four Chinese characters on each disc as follows:
“锄禾日当午，汗滴禾下土 。谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦。
Each line is part of a poem written 1400 years ago about Peasants working in the rice fields and each grain of rice is precious. The title of the poem is “A Hard-Working Farmer” Li Shen (772-846 AD)
Farmers weeding at noon,
Sweat down the field soon.
Who knows food on a tray
Due to their tolling day?
(*Note: Close Translation but I don’t speak Mandarin)
You can turn the discs easily, but if you want to open this lock you have to rotate the characters “锄禾日当午” in a line. Not a lock to secure your belonging because it is a very popular Chinese Poem. Easy to open even if you don’t know Chinese.
Both side of the lock are jointed with a carved head of lion. The padlock is made of Bronze, an alloy, made of red copper, tin and lead.
The most common decorations on padlocks was animals from the Chinese Zodiac , such as tiger, dragon, deer, sheep, ox, etc. In Western Zhou dynasty, dragon symbol for the mens locks and phoenix for women locks were mostly used. I have a large collection of Antique Locks, Padlocks, Keys, lock picks and Handcuffs so I will make a few more Blogs and video about them. Send me any pics of old locks, keys and handcuffs mrprolock@gmail.com

Locked out? Need Keys? Keys locked in your car? or worst, keys locked in the trunk?
When I passed my drivers license (one day after I turned 16yrs old) and I could now, after school and weekends, do emergency mobile locksmith service. My favorite locksmith job was “keys locked in car.” I could open any car with a homemade long piece of banding steel (later I bought a “Slim Jim”) and a coat hanger with a Sheperd’s hook bent on one end. I later updated my coat hanger to a chrome coat hanger (people got upset when I just used a plain coat hanger).
I could open any car in less than 60 seconds. Today with modern cars with anti-theft devices, air bags in the door, pick resistant locks I have a large car opening kit filled with air wedges, long reach tools that glow in the dark, bendable tools with hooks and lasso and a computer program to help me open the harder cars. Also, I have specialized lock picks to open pick resistant locks (BMW, Lexus, etc.).
Note: Tennis balls blowing air into the keyhole will not open any car (fun stunt on Youtube).

Ford Mustangs from 1996 to 2010 (more on the 2011 in a future Blog) have a transponder or chip key programmed which communicates to your car computer and the car will not start unless this key is used.
The following is the procedure for programing a THIRD key.
1) Insert an existing key and turn the ignition to ON (Run) and then back to OFF.
2) Within 5 seconds insert the 2ND existing key and turn the ignition to ON and then back to OFF.
3) Within 10 seconds insert the NEW 3rd key and turn the ignition to the ON position. Leave it ON for 1 second and then back to OFF.
The security light will light up for 3 seconds to indicate that the NEW key has been successfully programmed.
If you only have one working key that starts the car or have lost your keys, you will need to call me or Royce Whin-Yates (4th Generation Locksmith) to make and program new Ford Transponder keys to your car or your Ford Dealer.
Check my next AA Automotive Locksmith Blog and I will discuss Forensic Locksmithing and a new trend in auto theft of Ford Mustangs.
If you have any questions e-mail or call.
