combination padlock by summerfield

combination padlock

i used this padlock for my locker when i took that hotel and restaurant management course 20 years ago in an attempt to change careers. i had carpal tunnel syndrome and the job counselor advised a change in career that would not involve too much typing. it wasn't an entirely waste of time and money as i gained a diploma which i can use after retirement to take on more courses until my wall collapses with too many diplomas hanging on it.

rummaging around the kitchen drawers, i saw this and le voilà! a post for today whilst waiting for the laundry to finish.

for the macro metal challenge and EOTB challenge.

-o0o-

the artist challenge will be ending soon. be sure you put in an entry. or two. :-) here's the lowdown: https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/30852/new-artist-challenge-james-abbott-whistler
Ugh. I hated combination locks on my locker. I could never get it to work when I was late to class

@pandorasecho - i must say this one is pretty useless now because i can't remember the combination numbers.

Lovely shot of this now useless padlock ;-)

Great clarity and details.

Definitely not much use if you have no recollection of the code!

@salza - pity really as i know 55, 5 and 34 are 3 of the codes but the fourth code is what i couldn't recall. if I know the fourth code then i can recall the order and which way to turn the knob. sad thing, too, is i know i wrote down the codes somewhere but I couldn't remember where! 😁

This would be useless to me too. I know the combination to our safe and I still can't open it. If hubby sisapoeats, I am in trouble getting into it. Great metal macro.

I was going to ask if you remembered the combination, but it seems you do have that one missing piece of information - so annoying. If you throw the padlock out, you will find that piece of paper. Meanwhile, makes a cool metal macro photo.

Great macro. Your composition makes it into something special.

Great closeup.

Nice close up of this metal object. Makes the mundane lovely.

Great detail- reminds me of school days- ancient history now!
