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. "

Especially considering Halloween is on a Friday this year, we feel it's especially important this year to remind everyone to really be safe this year.
