In traditional culture, New Year's Eve is not only a day to get rid of the old and bring in the new, but also a day to get rid of filth. People believe that on New Year's Eve, the bad luck and bad luck in the family will pass away with the old year.
Therefore, a general cleaning is done on this day, and every corner of the home is cleaned to welcome the new year.
Therefore, New Year’s Eve is a day for general cleaning. This impression is directly engraved in my muscle memory.
A while ago, in the article about defects, I mentioned that a small corner of my door lock has been broken. Although it can continue to be used, it needs to be used gently, but the day will inevitably come when it needs to be replaced.
At that time, for the sake of appearance, I chose a small and cute auxiliary lock with Japanese specifications. It was not as big as the universal type in Taiwan, so it was not available in ordinary water and electricity hardware stores, and the price was almost twice as expensive.
The difference in specifications depends on the distance from the door edge to the center of the keyhole, which is the middle line that exposes the circular hole after removing a large lock head. The specifications of the two are as follows:
Japanese gauge: 51mm
Taiwan gauge: 60mm
Because they were completely different, I had to search for a replacement online. After searching for a long time, I found that there was an option to replace only the lock cylinder. Not only did this save more than half the price, but the most important thing was that I didn’t have to replace the original lock cylinder. Keys in use.
After all, if the lock is used for a long time, multiple common keys will be printed and distributed to close family members for use. This way, there is no need for them. It would be good to specially inform everyone to change them together.
Changing the locks also has the meaning of removing filth. The old auxiliary lock cylinder has been used for many years and has been stained with a lot of bad luck.
By replacing it with a new auxiliary lock cylinder, I hope that all the bad luck and bad luck hidden inside can be driven out, making the home fresher and cleaner.
For example, my heart, which has invested a lot of expectations, has also been infected with a lot of unlucky feelings. I hope to use this action to recommend a replacement. After all, I cannot simply cut open my body and take out my heart for replacement. !
When replacing the lock cylinder, although the appearance still does not need to be replaced, the interior has been completely injected with new life. It is not only a new lock, but also a symbol of getting rid of the old and replacing it with the new, removing filth and ushering in the new.
It also represents the good expectations for the new year. I hope that in the new year, everyone's life will be as new and full of hope as if the interior has been changed and a new auxiliary lock is used.
