Picking My Most Expensive Lock

In the world of locks, many people might assume that the most expensive ones are unique antiques, highly secure military locks, or rare factory prototypes. However, the most expensive lock in my collection is none of these. Rather, it’s a lock from Mrs. Lock Picking Lawyer’s collection, and it’s used for securing an ostrich skin Hermes Birkin handbag.

At first glance, this lock looks like a simple and cheap three-pin luggage lock, but it’s far from ordinary due to its association with the high-end fashion brand. The Hermes Birkin handbag is known for its exorbitant price tag, and the lock serves as a small but essential accessory to keep the bag secure.

While I was able to pick the lock open quite easily using a 40,000 stick Turner and my standard hook, it’s important to note that the value of this lock lies in its connection with the luxury bag. Despite the lock’s low security, it remains a treasured item in Mrs. Lock Picking Lawyer’s collection.

In conclusion, the most expensive lock in my house is not the one you might have expected. Instead, it is a small, seemingly simple luggage lock that holds a special place in our hearts due to its connection with a beloved luxury item. Sometimes, the value of an object is not always about its practicality, but the emotions and memories it evokes.
