In addition, the most common cause of unauthorized entry
through a locked door is by using a duplicate key. Standard
keys to your property can be made on demand in countless
places. Our suggestion is to replace standard locks with
high security products by Mul-t-lock because each Mul-t-lock
key has a personal identification card that prevents duplication
without the property residents permission. Devices that provide security, usually fitted to a door
of some kind. In 1778 English locksmith Robert Barron
made the forerunner of the mortise lock,
which contains levers that the key must raise to an exact
height before the bolt can be moved. The Yale
lock, a pin-tumbler cylinder design, was invented
by US locksmith Linus Yale, Jr, in 1865. More secure
locks include combination locks, with
a dial mechanism that must be turned certain distances
backwards and forwards to open, and time locks,
which are set to be opened only at specific times.
Locks originated in the Far East over 4,000 years ago.
The Romans developed the warded lock, which contains
obstacles (wards) that the key must pass to turn. Protecting your facility has grown increasingly more challenging
during the last few years. The new breed of security threats
is more immediate than ever before, increasing the risk
of a serious security breach and exposing your institution
to dangerous liability problems. Chances are unauthorized
duplicate keys are infiltrating your security system, despite
your efforts to control them. We are dedicated to the professionalism and excellence
