Have you ever thought how exactly your lock works? What mechanism is hidden in your door? What makes dead-bolts move? Why is the key from one lock not suitable for the other? What determines secrecy? And it is almost as interesting as to understand the engine of a car, after all! In both cases the knowledge may turn out to be vitally important. When choosing a car we are always guided by such characteristics as safety, reliability, appearance. But have you ever seen a person who chooses a lock with the same scrupulousness?

But you are the person to decide about the level of protection and security of your house, flat or garage.

In this section we collected information about locks: how they work, how models differ from each other, methods of lock breaking and ways of preventing it, a little bit of history and stories, philosophy and useful practical information.

Down-to-earth language makes the technical articles clear for everybody. We recommend to read at least those of them which will seem to you the most interesting.

Security of you and your relatives is worth spending several minutes to look for an optimal means for their protection.
