moreA secret padlock with a square diameter shackle, two movable pillars, and a cover over the keyhole. The padlock has three keys and protection against thieves in the form of a latch with a serrated blade hidden inside the padlock. After pressing the handle, the blade is released. The padlock door can be opened by activating the decorative pillars with the smallest key, which allows you to set them in the right position so that when you press one of the elements adorning the padlock’s body, you can open the cover protecting the keyhole. The other two keys are used to stretch the spring of the serrated blade and activate the bolt blocking the shackle. After opening the padlock, the engraved date, 1874, is visible on the inside of the shackle.
