Locks

A lock is a metal mechanism that is incorporated into doors and drawers of cabinets, chests, chests, etc., to prevent them from being opened without the key and thus protect their contents.

This mechanism can be operated with a metal key, formerly made of iron and bronze. The key fits into the lock through a so-called "eye", which is a hole normally located in the central part of the lock cylinder. At present, apart from mechanical locks, there are others such as electro-mechanical or electronic, where the key has been replaced by a plastic or PVC card.

Also to secure places, houses, establishments.

At present, approximately 80% of the locks that have mechanical cylinders (with saw or point keys) and including security and armored doors among these, have stopped offering the security with which they were created to This is the cause of the spread over the internet of techniques such as bumping - until now used in assaults by organized gangs but now accessible to all types of criminals - which pose an obvious risk of unwanted access, robbery and theft. For this reason, technology offers solutions applied to locks that provide true security, as in the case of locks with electronic cylinders, with the BlueChip system or similar.

On the other hand, it should be added that the sawtooth key lock system is surpassed - in terms of violation feasibility - by the so-called double bit locks.

Double bit locks are locks whose keyhole or "eye" corresponds to double bit type keys: double bit keys are two bit keys that generally reflect a pair of sets of "teeth" (reflections of the location of each one). of the combinations) diametrically opposed; In other words, generally, in double bit wrenches, the last tooth on one side is equivalent to the first tooth on the other side.
