Locking Mechanism's .. an inside view.

A place to share.

Pictures ..(internal views).. of dis-assembled locking mechanisms.

A visual aid to the understanding of their internal workings.

Here's a button lock I picked up recently that certainly has the locking system in place.

Note: position of sear pin in a "locked" position .. the blade is fully closed.

Note: position of sear pin in "unlocked" position .. the blade is not quite fully open.

Exploded views .. of sorts.

Note: the slot in the sear pin .. the spring seats in it.

Thanks, Jan.

I have an interest in unique locking mechanisms. I also believe viewing the internal components & their interaction facilitates an easier understanding of the overall system's functioning.

However, not everyone cares to dis-assemble a knife just for that insight, or needs too .. while I rather enjoy it !!! Sooooo, it's sharing time :)
