Sharing Is Caring

I recently visited our Canadian Pop-A-Lock website and saw this great blog. I thought it would be nice to share it with our customers.

"I was recently asked by a customer’s young son, how does a lock work? I’d love to show everyone how. I’d like to show you the pin tumbler lock. This lock is the most common lock because it’s used for most home doors and many other doors. If you watch this video, you can see it in action. The tumbler lock is a pretty simple lock to crack open, but I think I’m only saying that because I’ve been trained to do it.

The lock has two types of pins that help it function. The blue pins are called the driver pins. The red pins are called the key pins. Whenever you put a key into the lock, the purpose of the pins is to be pushed up by the key into the correct position so that the cylinder (yellow) can turn. In the first picture in the set, you can see that all of the pins were lined up correctly and the cylinder has turned. The second picture shows what happens before the turn begins. All of the pins are aligned and the cylinder would be allowed to turn. If you’ve ever wondered why the sides of your keys are indented, it’s because these locks come with a little ledge that makes sure the pins don’t fall from their respective holes. You can see the ledge in the fourth picture.

What’s great about Pop-A-Lock is that we know how to open these keys, clean these locks, cut new keys for these locks, and even change the pins to have a new combination for opening it. When I say that we’re the best locksmith the business, I mean it! We can help you with your pin tumblers, your wafer tumblers, your tubulars, your electronic locks, keycard locks, and so much more. We do more than you think. Give Pop-A-Lock of Cincinnati a call today. See what we can do. "

Pop-A-Lock Wants To Remind You To Be Safe During The Hot Months

Pop-A-Lock of Cincinnati wants to remind everyone that the hotter parts of the year are upon us and you really need to have a safety mindset about things like the heat of your car. It's pretty obvious to most people, but we sometimes feel that we need to reiterate the point, you should never leave anyone in your car with it turned off. Child or pet, it doesn't matter. We don't get many cases of people leaving a child in the vehicle, but we have seen situations where people leave their pet in the vehicle while they run to the store. This is not an acceptable practice. It doesn't matter if you are only going in there for 20 minutes or so. A car can get as hot as 125ºF in just a matter of minutes during a hot day, whether you have the windows rolled down slightly or not.

Just be smart and think ahead. Think ahead. If you think you're going to have to stop at the store for any reason, then don't take your dog along, or take them inside the store if they would allow it. It's not healthy or fair to your pet to leave them in such an unhealthy place.

Also, if you ever make the mistake of locking a child in your vehicle, don't panic. Just get your phone and call your local police immediately, then call Pop-A-Lock of Cincinnati. We will send the nearest technician immediately to unlock your door completely free. This is just one of the ways we want to give back to the community. This great community deserves it. Save our number in your phone. (513) 772-8644. You won't regret it.
