Homemade Sliding Door Lock | Unpickable
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Ever since I made my sliding shop door, I was annoyed by the "locking" mechanism that came with the rail kit. I wanted to fix that with a custom door handle years ago. A SketchUp file with a design existed for about four years already, but I never built it.
Now it's done, and oh boy, do I like it. I hope you enjoy the video as much I enjoyed editing the filing scenes ;)

Whenever a lock is branded "unpickable", I immediately want to see the Lock Picking Lawyer have a shot at it. Although in this case, branding a non-locking latch "unpickable" is very funny.
With you on both points
Thought of LPL before even clicking on the video, proceeded scrolling down the comments immediately
I expected him to lock himself out. :P
That’s what I was thinking before even watching the video

55 years ago I was a ‘design cost engineer’ for Ford Motor Company preventing our designers from over engineering. I think I would have had a bonus month with this one, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Best regards. Ron.
I bet you love watching Sandy Munro! Munro Live ruclips.net/video/g3qWBmz-j2k/видео.html
Lately he's been getting a lot of attention with dismantling and looking over all the design considerations of cars.
So you were one of those responsible for all the cheap parts that were under-engineered (read: cheapest possible to increase Ford profit) that broke typically 1 week after warranty or in our case 1 year after new purchase; steering gear box locked up during a turn, yeah never bought a Ford again! Thanks for all your efforts to increase Ford's bottom line (profit) but provide customers with terrible reliability.
@@physicsguybrian No this is not true, they can only do so much and have much say in the design. Ultimately it's up to the big guys who decide what stays or goes based on cost and time. It's Fords fault in a whole that they had problems with certain parts that caused lots of problems. For the most part Ford is a really good company that make quality vehicles. These past few years have pushed all companies to do things they should not have to in order to cut cost and labor. I see it in my business and it's killing everything across the board! The ultimate problem is our dependence on China for everything! We need to learn how to make our own products again with our own people, parts, materials and money!
@@physicsguybrian Sorry you had a bad experience, things must have gone downhill since I left in 1985.
@@ClearWaterPumpWell It's not just reliance on foreign manufacturing and imports. It is bad economic and structural decisions motivated purely by pennies and stock prices.
So basically there's this terrible practice of eliminating "overhead". Means they try to fire every worker and refuse to stock any extra screws until they stop functioning. People and things really get squeezed on. The only problem with this is that the most minor hiccups, even someone having the hiccups, makes everything buckle.
Nothing has pushed them to cut cost and labor and embrace this brittle ess and fragility except for shareholders with rigged laws designed to guarantee profit at the expense of a company's health and product quality. That and ceo bonuses too. What I'm saying is that corporate greed is the single most harmful thing to any major company in the US.
Also this practice is called "just in time" manufacturing and there are examples of businesses that did not suffer majorly from shortages precisely because they did not practice the worst version of this where back up stock is non existant. Ford's misfortunes are their own and paid for by everyone else.
Your humor in these videos keeps getting better and better...the scene where you manually used the power hacksaw was gold :D
I LOL on that one too
And the most useless door handle bit got me
@@TomE1248 or the part where he was like "ermygrd I got a cheap track and it's trash"
Get a soft close kit, ezpz
And there's just a great satisfaction every time you use a well-working thing you made yourself.
In my workshop I have a paper towel holder that has just the right amount of friction and smoothness when you use it and in addition to being elegantly made of wood and having completely necessary mortise-and-tenon-joinery, it's easy to change the paper towels and the mechanism holding everything is hidden. My gf is probably sick of hearing how awesome it is to use every time I do so, but when you make something that just works really well, you can't help but get satisfaction from it. Such a trivial thing in the end, it just holds a roll of paper towels, but damn if it's not a joy to use when it works so smoothly. Just like the sound of the door closing here. It just feels right.
Sounds like it needs at least a 14 hour video series to get everyone to understand.
i Have watched this in the past... and i watched it again after doing all the carpentry work for my newly renovated room because i will be installing a barndoor like door and would be needing a way to lock it . and being able to do anything yourself have its own reward ... people really dont get the satisfaction of being able to say "I did this with my own hands" rather that i bought it or i paid someone to do it for me.
Fantastic engineering! Loved it!
@5:28 OH. I see Marius is using Walnut. No wonder you got the bat signal to come and watch this video. :)
Having watched your videos from day one, I can hear your english is much more fluent now - well done for ALL your efforts - greatly appreciated
Agreed. Not so much fluent in a technical sense, though Marius's English is way better than my... well, anything except English. But it's so natural. When you can have fun with a language, that's when you've mastered it, I reckon - and Marius does just that.
I watch this channel now for about 6 years and it's unbelievable how you developed all your skills (Language, Video, Homeworking, Design)
Congratulation to one of the best videos you made!
He says relatively simple. Design was way over my head. Absolutely genius. Sure miss these videos on a regular basis
His first idea was more complicated, I think he wanted to make a rocket.
its mechanically simple. it should last a long while, and only need the springs to be replaced when it finally does wear.
The essential maker viewpoint-the journey (design and build and problem-solving) is more satisfying than the destination (having a working door lock). Well done, Marius.
And yet another "Absolutely Brilliant" creation; from "our" Marius Hornberger. What would we do without you kind Sir? A TRUE "cut" above.
Designing/overengineering your own solution to a relatively simple problem is so strangely rewarding.
The other night I spent a few hours modeling a simple container for my dogs poop-bags, just like the ones that cost like $3 or come FREE with a box of bags. It's just a cylinder with a hole in the middle and a threaded lid with a ring to attach to the leash, and little posts in the bottom of the cylinder/lid to hold the roll in place. It then took ~5 hours to 3D print and works as well as one I could pick up at the dollar store, but I MADE IT GODDANGIT.
Excellent bit of improvised engineering!
Two small self adhesive cushions on at the top and one at the bottom of the door to deaden the slam as the door closes to finish.
Outstanding! The handle-into-pull feature is sheer genius. One thought for any future versions (ha!). Mounting the handle rotated 90 degrees clockwise (with other appropriate shape changes) would allow for elbow open when hands are full. (Love our new lever style door handles for that reason.)
good point. I didn't think about that
This entire video was pure art from beginning to end. Perfectly fine tuned delivery.
Who needs to buy locking hardware when you can create your own. That was a sweet vid. Awesome work 👍
I like how you were not just satisfied with the lock working, but actually made iterative improvements!
5:18 Thanks for leaving that in. Right mix of humor and not caring. Love it
Genius custom design and aesthetically pleasing, too.
Really great.
That's an awesome way to enhance a door lock. I love your practical designs. You're definitely a smart guy.
If this design was all in your head, you are very good at designing and thinking outside the box.
Way to go.
Agreed. Money can't buy the satisfaction you get from making it yourself. Excellent as usual, Marius. I love your channel!
I think it's a very clever ingenious design, I could see something like this being very great for a mesh screen patio door.
"I present to you... the most useless door handle."
*clunk*
I laughed VERY hard. That was gold.
Yes. Love his humor 😂
First one of your videos I've watched - looking for ideas for a sliding barn door lock/latch. Excellent, ergonomic, functional design. Also appreciate your recognition of how these sorts of projects challenge and therefore develop our "problem-solving" skills. Well done, sir.
Oh man wonderful work Marius, I've been mentally mapping how to make door latches in my mind for so long and considering I wanted to make a fully custom door for my own workspace someday. I feel like these are great practice for more mechanically complex projects, low stakes an immediate results with something so picky as door hardware
Was für eine unfassbar einfache und praktische Idee mit dem Cutter das Holz vorzuschneiden :D danke!
Brilliant! Your ingenuity, skill and sense of humour make you one of my favourite creators! So happy to see you back at it! Cheers from Canada.
That's actually a pretty clever design. Great work!
great project, good humor , fine craftmanship
Fixing problems that don't exist. Love it! Cool project!
"Unpickable" - Lockpicking Lawyer has entered the chat.
I thought that was funny also. It's not really a lock, it's a latch.
cant pick something that doesnt have anything to pick
That guy huh. What is it with boys and picking locks?
More like entered the shop!

I absolutely love your content. The humor is fantastic and the woodworking is genius! Keep it up!
Super nice and bright idea. Incredible work looks simple but in the same time looks like $1 million.
Great engineering idea. Glad to see you back on RUclips .
Well engineered, and even better executed. Loving the videos Marius, and the humour. 👍
Always love seeing your engineering skills
That lock was worth it for the education! Reminds me of maloof door locks except your lock is more concealed. Thank you for sharing and technique me about this mechanism.
Really great iterative process. Each step is functional but gets better and better with each following step.
Nice work! I do love a bit of problem solving! Very stylish result and unique!
Thanks for providing such fascinating info to your viewers. I appreciate all of your efforts. Sincere thanks for sharing this!
This is really quite good! Great to see your reaction when it first works! A happy moment.
Seeing your shop gives me a new appreciation for mine, size wise.
Awesome! Love your dedication to come up with ideas that actually work great. Looking forward
Worth it ? Yes definitely worth it. Super cool and inventive. Doesn't matter what you can buy. Also a great video in general. Thanx for sharing.
BRILLIANT! looks really sharp too!
I love this. The shot of you using the band saw like a hack saw cracked me up.
That lever cover/handle door pull is such a bloody good design piece 👌
That's an amazing handle. Love the design.
Absolutely genius. Matthias Wandel will be proud!!
So cool Marius!
Great design, function, and unique.
That was some real clever design, nice work!
Agreed. Better to problem solve than just buy. Nicely done!
Your work is seriously impressive
So well designed, love your work
I loved this video. Very enjoyable. Excellent work.
Yeah. Making one is way cooler than buying one. Even if took time to create. But when it's done. You build up confidence in yourself because you've done something to like. Great work.
Outstanding build and engineering.
That's a great door handle for a sliding door, great job!
Stylish but most of all functional. Proper job!
That is so satisfying and looks amazing man!
This is so clever. I love this kind of stuff so much
Very nice lock - and a very well put together video. Thank you.
What a legend 👏 you have so much talent,I know some engineers that couldn't do that..
Great and very true gets your brain working on seeing and solving problems and also even though not related to other tasks can also prompt ideas into problem solving with other projects great job
Chapeau Marius. Really appreciate motivations.
That design ended pretty nice!
The mind of an engineer! !! !!! Well Done
amazing design and work
Great job! I sure love your engineering skills.
That latch design is genius!
Don’t forget, this video made you money, so 100% worth.
You are AMAZING! I totally enjoy you creating anything and everything! Great Stuff
Absolutely wonderful. Great video
Simply fantastic
And i have to say I all honesty, it's not the first time..
I love watching everything you come up with.
Keep up the fantastic job👏👍👍
Outstanding, man.Looking forward to the next video.
Was it worth it? Heck yes it was. Your design is better than anything you can get that’s store bought. The addition to the handle so you’re not putting pressure on the moving handle is genius. Great video!
very nice engineering. it looks as good as it works!
amazing fratello!,brillant idea.
The best part is the joy you get every time you enter the shop.
an elegant looking handle, good job
Another amazing video!! Your problem-solving-skills are on a totally different level 😅💪🏼👍🏼 absolutely mindblowing!!
Excellent design and looks good too!
Beautifully over-engineered. I love it! ❤ 😍
No it is not.
"Unpickable"... oh boy, you have summoned the beast.
First time I've comented very clever design. I've been watching you for a fee years love your energy. Keep making RUclips please.
beautifully made! A simple solution would have been a set of magnets. But this is of course much more fun to invent and make.
this looks awesome and is really solid. Wish the real ones were this good.
Keep making these videos, love them and alway look forward to them 👊🏼
A fun video, Marius! And only about a dozen 'simple' solutions needed...
Great work :) I personally would have gone for the lazy and expensive solution, a new rail system with softclose and all but this is so much nicer
Brilliant design, Marius!
Great video, Marius, love your work!
A FINE example of 'Creative Engineering' ('Masters Level' - Botching) 👏👏👏👏 😉😎🇬🇧
Dude so satisfying to make your own even with all the trials and tribulations, Awesome. TFS, GB :)
Brilliant work and I loved the humor.
Very nice design and solution, thx a lot!!
Like the design very much! Nice and "simple". Although I would probably hurt myself more than once on the positive end stop of the handle by grabbing g to high.
Your lock looks awesome !!!
Good engineering and as always entertaining to watch
