Just realised a screen door lock is a good lock to take apart to show Xander how locks work. What are other examples of interesting locks that can be taken apart easily.

Taken apart. How thoroughly?

A hacksaw through a padlock yields interesting results.

A suitcase lock is very simple. Can be opened with a bent paper clip.

And a combination lock provides an easy introduction to lock-picking

On the other hand, if you just want a latch rather than a lock, Then a door latch.

Hacksawing isn’t great for my back. It’s improved this week so maybe I’ll give it a crack……….

Locks to protect your home are a deterrent at best.

I’ve come to realize that people hide behind their dead-bolts
because they never dare to realize that they’ve surrounded
themselves and their family with 1/4in of fragile, brittle glass.

Cars are just marginally secure (plastic sandwiched between
two sheets of glass.

And most businesses between hardened plate glass.

btw, I once had a summer job assembling combination locks.
Every once in a while, we’d “lose” the combination and have
to open the lock and set the combination back to “0-0-0-0”

Easy Peasy
Holding the lock in the palm of your hand, extend a finger to
the shackle and apply steady upward pressure as the other
hand turned the dial until you detected (felt) a faint “click”.
Maintaining the tension, repeat, turning the dial in the opposite
direction, until you detected all 3 or 4 “clicks” as “The FLATS”
align. http://s.hswstatic.com/gif/lock6.jpg
