Everything in San Miguel is ancient, but beautiful and still in use. The Dunkin’ Donuts shop is in a building that was built in 1710, for example. The doors of houses and businesses are hundreds of years old, and the hardware still works just fine. This lock is on the side of the Bank of Mexico location on the town’s main square. Why buy a new lock when the one you bought in 1656 is still in perfectly good shape?
I have read that the older locks have trick mechanisms that make them almost impossible to pick. Your blogs are always so inspirational, Val. Keep up the having fun!
