Locks |
| A lock is a
mechanical fastening device which may be
used on a door, vehicle, or container,
restricting access to the area or
property enclosed. Commonly, it can be
released by using a key or combination. |
History of Locks |
| Locks have
been a part of our lives for the last
4,000 years. Some of the first lock were
discovered by archeologist in the Nineveh
regions, which date back as far as
4,000 years. Some of the first types of
locks used a similar system that we
still use today. Known as the pin
tumbler. The original locks consisted of
a large peace of wood with several holes
and points on the end, which was passed
through a hole in the door and inserted
into the lock located at the rear of the
door which prevented the lock from
opening. Since then locks have improved
dramatically and have evolved into small
metal keys with micro chips imbedded
into them which have the ability to be
tracked and their uses recorded or
limited electronically by the push of a
button! |
|
| Today locks
have become some what routine as to
their designs and applications and
installations, because of building
regulations and fire regulations as well
as mass productions, this has lead the
decline of old fashion hand made locks
and old fancy innovative designs that
once were around. Today we use a verity
of locks for home and commercial
applications which have improved on the
old designs. The common lock recoding
or replacement parts are now possible
and ordered with little fuss compared
with having parts made by hand. We have
come a long way in the security industry
and now not only do the locks meet a
level of standards so do the locksmiths
who service and install them! |

| Locks are a
parts of all of our lives they help keep
our belonging safe, The common house may
have up to 30 or more locks fitted to
provide security for the occupants and
may range from the simplest of
latches to the most complex high
security swiper cards access control
system, but they all provide the same
function "Keeping people out" The level
of resistance is measured by the grade
and quality of the lock. Cheap and nasty
locks never better the high
security quality made locks .So it is
most important to choose wisely when
choosing your locks. |

| When you compare
your home insurance policy on your home
to your physical security do they add up
to the same equation? For example if you
insured your house hold belonging for
$50,000 would your locks reflect $50,000
worth of security? Are your locks and
deadlocks adequate to secure $50,000
worth of goods? Not to mention personal
security and the security of your loved
ones. Most people use the
deadlocks that came with the house or
assume the current lock fitted are
reasonable, which is a common and
inappropriate mistake! As time has progressed and lock designs
have continually been updated the level of
security has been maximized and your
common home Deadlatch deadlock is now
more secure then before, using extra
long screws, anti forcing mechanisms,
anti bumping resistant designs and so on.
So if you have neglected your locks or
over looked them or have not upgraded
them in the last 5 years, moved house or
changed premises, you should absolutely consider an
upgrade. Prices start from a couple of
hundred dollars for a new deadlock and
range up from their with the protective
levels. Though you can live in the past
and use ancient locking devices even
in the 2000's but its not advised,
Burglars are even more knowledgeable
today more then ever, Information and
accessibility to learning videos on the
internet has lead to an increase of
burglaries by burglars finding ways to
quickly open doors with little or no
damage. The best advice from our Dr
