[SCENE OPENS WITH A VINTAGE LOCK AND KEYS SITTING ON A SURFACE]

[LOCKPICKING LAWYER]

THIS IS THE LOCKPICKING LAWYER, AND WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU TODAY IS AN OLD MASTER LOCK MODEL 66 PADLOCK.

[LPL PICKS UP THE PADLOCK]

THESE USED TO BE FAIRLY POPULAR, GOING BACK SIXTY OR SEVENTY YEARS AGO. BUT THEY WERE ALSO CHEAPLY MADE, AND COULD BE TWISTED OFF USING A WRENCH WITH SURPRISING EASE.

[LPL PICKS UP THE VINTAGE KEYS]

OF COURSE, THEY CAN ALSO BE OPENED NON-DESTRUCTIVELY WITHOUT TOO MUCH DIFFICULTY. THEY USE A FAIRLY CRUDE FORM OF LEVER MECHANISM.

[LPL UNLOCKS THE VINTAGE LOCK WITH A VINTAGE KEY]

SO CRUDE, IN FACT, THAT I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF IT'S ACCURATE TO CALL IT A LEVER LOCK. THERE ARE TWO LEVERS IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LOCK BODY. ONE END OF EACH ENAGES THIS NOTCH IN THE SHACKLE.
