Everyone uses locks, whether it’s from your house, car or that antique box you keep special possessions in. While we all use them, we don’t necessarily know how they work, an understanding of this process could help you in securing your home as best as possible.

Definition of a lock.

Locks can be planted on doors, vehicles, gates, boxes, and almost anything which opens and closes. Locks use its pieces to brace against parts of the door frame, which locks it in place. When the key is inserted that brace releases allowing entry.

In order to access a lock and ensure that it opens for the person who has rightful ownership to it, a secondary device is required. This would be the key, given to the owner of the lock, it provides access through the lock, it has the right measurements engraved into the metal to release the brace mechanism and allow entry.

The locking mechanism cannot be opened normally without the key. There are certain ways to pick locks and falsely represent the right key to the lock in question, allowing entry, but this takes a trained professional locksmith.
