George Hill was thirteen when his father brought home eight locks he had found. He didn’t have a key for any of them. As a joke, he told George that he would give him twenty-five cents for each lock he could open. In only one hour, George had opened them all!
That’s when George first became interested in locks. He read every book he could find about locks, and bought locks of all kinds. Today, George has a vast collection of locks. It is the largest collection in the world.
