Door Locks

Locks come in many different designs, shapes, sizes and mechanisms, but they all perform the same job, which is providing security to something that can only be accessed by a customised key or digital code. The most common lock is the Pin-tumbler lock, with brass pins inside that stop the lock cylinder from turning and unlocking the door. The correct key for the lock is precise in its design to align the pins and enabling them to release the lock. Locks need to be strong to provide good security, which is why locks are made from heavy duty materials like steel.

The first locks can be traced back to Egypt, 4000 years ago. They were also used by the Vikingsin 400 AD. Modern times has seen the invention of digital locks, a keyless lock which uses a code that's entered in a keypad to unlock. Most families are able to have a secure house with the standard pin-tumber lock, however retail businesses and commercial properties often prefer a digital lock to avoid the use of keys and enhance their security.
