actually the lock can be repaired correctly and will hold up

probably longer than a new one.

I have seen fairly new locks do the same thing. what happens

is the retainer that holds down the springs that are over

the tumblers comes un-crimped, pops up and gets hung.

a machine crimps down the retainers on at the factory.

doing it by hand, one can do a better job of crimping.

2. Automatic shirt ironing machine. Can be built using nano-technology  or little robotic ants, as far as I’m concerned.
