Griloc As a Locksmith Tools

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:05:00 +0000

As a locksmith you should not depend on only some specific tools but you must try to expand your business by adding a new product. For example if you find any new locksmith tools on the market, do not wait but quickly grab it and use it as a new resource to gain profit.

Maybe we can use “griloc” as our new locksmith tools? Read the following article to learn more about “griloc”:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three victims were found burnt to death after got caught in the bedroom and another one in the living room in the fire at about 3:30 am after just 13 hours moved on to their new house at Level 3, FIet PPR Taman Wahyu, Kepong, Malaysia.

It was believed that they were trapped because the main doors and windows all installed with grille. This tragedy raises a question mark to the public whether the grating serves to protect the house or became death traps?

There are pros and cons regarding the need of grille installation in the house, especially in emergencies. Grating function can be changed based on the specific situation, but on the fire safety aspects it has an adverse impact if the design and installation are not given attention.

However there is a solution to overcome this problem. Recently, Besafe Supplies Enterprise (Besafe) has produces a 'Grill-Locks' (griloc) specifically designed to give residents a chance to escape in the event of a fire without using any keys.

Griloc made from aluminium alloy ADC 12 is equipped with a 'locking tongue' and 'looking pin' of copper as well as 'pin stopper' that use PVC as the basic material. For a time being Griloc only suitable to be installed on the sliding type grille (sliding window). It’s allowing fire victim to pull key button in order to open the grating system.

According to Besafe spoke person, Grilog locking system is easy to learn by the children and does not require complicated maintenance. It doesn’t have any components such as springs, cables and electrical which require intensive care thus can prevent any possible damage to the opening of the system.

Grilog already in the market since 1997, it is the first Malaysian-made grille received Fire Department recognition as it emphasizes more on occupant safety.

Usually, installation will take a day to be completed where the price is said to be very affordable (around RM230 to RM350). It will be installed on 2 to 4 panel’s window types such as in the bedroom and living room home.

According to Besafe spoke person, a risk to be trapped in the housing types of 2 and 3 storey houses are more dangerous than the single storey type because of the distance factor. “But this does not mean safe for single storey house if the household spaces within it blocked with flammable materials like furniture," he said.

Unfortunately, the current scenario shows a lot of owners of premises and property developers to install a fixed window grille or static type of plug and lock (padlock) as a measure to prevent theft or unauthorized use despite knowing the risks.

Therefore what we need to emphasize now is the function of the grille installation is not only to prevent invasion but will safely allow fire victim to escape from being killed during an emergency.

"Biometrics is the science and technology of authentication (i.e. establishing the identity of an individual) by measuring the person's physiological or behavioral features”.

If you and your family don't want to ever worry about keys, passwords or combinations again, try this lock.

Obviously in order to read a fingerprint, there has to be a process of inputting or first reading that fingerprint into the lock's memory to be stored, so as to read that fingerprint later. The lock will read fingerprint ridges to identify each individual print. This type of lock has the ability to store 40 to 75 fingerprints.

What if the finger we usually use to read into the lock has a cut on it, or a band-aid on it?

Well, most of the time the manufacturer would recommends always reading in two different fingers from the same person into the lock, just for that possibility. You never know if a finger gets cut or wounded.

However some reviews from the customers said that it’s can be bypassed by thieves.

If you are still curious, please contact the manufacturer and get details about the products such as their guarantee, technical support or refund (if you did not satisfied with the product), etc.

Shunt Locks

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 17:39:00 +0000

Shunted locks are one of the items that could be categorized under locksmith tools, which an emergency locksmith must know well. A shunt is the process of turning aside or moving to an alternate course, a bypass. Shunted locks come in different brands. These locks are made for cabinets, metal doors, wooden doors, and sliding doors.

A shunt switch is used in a thug -resistant mortise lock (with a micro switch fitted). These locks are used in places such as emergency exits or on Burglar Alarm Systems.

When the deadlock is locked, the alarm is set, and when it's unlocked, the alarm is unset. The main benefit is that the door contact will be the first mechanism to be activated if the door is forced open (the most common form of attack) and the police will be called more instantly than through the use of an alternative system design.

The secondary advantage is that in the event your keys are stolen, the code for the burglar alarm will not also be lost (which can potentially happen on some existing burglar alarm designs).

Installing may also be an issue. On business-related properties surface run cable is not usually a problem, but in a private residence the cable usually has to go through the door. It is vital to use a skilled carpenter with the right tools.

The complication of these alarm locks requires educated intelligence on the part of the locksmith who may be required to mend or replace such a lock.

Locksmiths may also be called in circumstances where an exit or emergency door has been locked or jammed. There are doors that must legally remain unlocked. Any time they have become illegally obstructed, the locksmith may be called to undo the damage.

Master Keying

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 10:16:00 +0000

As a Locksmith you need to know and most probably to own a master key. It’s a locksmith tools that very useful. However it also has the advantages. Read further for details information.

Master Keying
Think of how convenient it would be to have one key that opens all the locks in your home or business. It’s usually possible to arrange for locks of the same manufacturer to be keyed alike. That means no more unwieldy clusters of keys you have to drag around—also your life becomes a little less cluttered.

However, main purpose of master keying is because it allows those who must have access to many locks (maintenance workers, managers, etc.) to carry only a few keys.

Master-keyed lock systems, usually used by offices, schools, and businesses as well as by some residential facilities.

Master keying makes it possible for two different and distinct keys to open the same lock.

Master keying can regulate access to specific zones while enabling one master key to access all zones.

Did you know anyone with access to the key to a single lock can easily create the 'master' key that opens every lock in the entire systems?

How to Create Master Key
1. Creating a master key requires little skill. The only materials required are a metal file and a small number of blank keys, which for many locks are readily available as a locksmith tools.

2. In order to make a master key, one must have access to one of the locks in the system and possess or have previously examined its associated key. Any lock and key in the system is sufficient for this purpose, and so any individual who has ever been given access to any key has the potential to carry out the attack.

The technique involves a series of simple 'probes' of a lock which reveal successively more information about the master key. This can be done in several sessions without a need for continuous access to the lock.

3. This procedure only consumes a small number of 'blank' keys of the kind that fit the locks. Blank keys for most commonly-used locks are available in small quantities from a wide range of commercial sources. The keys are 'cut' using hand-held machines or a small metal file.

See how easy it is!
But…

As stated above, master key is easy to be made. Therefore, individuals and institutions that depend on such locks to protect their safety and property should be aware of the risks and consider alternatives to eliminate or reduce their exposure to the threat.

Master key is a locksmith tools.

How to Use A Slim Jim

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 15:01:00 +0000

Hi Dear Readers,

Have you ever heard about Slim Jim? It's a useful Locksmith Tools. Read the following details from wikihow.com:

How to Use a Slim Jim

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Learning how to use a slim jim can be a very valuable experience when you find yourself locked out of your car. Slim jims are great products for getting out of such jams, as they can be used to open car doors without the use of keys. To use a slim jim correctly, however, you should practice the procedure for opening a car door with one of these devices.

Steps

A car door isn't just a door.
Most cars made after 1992 have a lot of mechanics and a variety of function controls housed inside the door. They may have side impact air bags and electrical wiring for power locks. They may have connectors for lock linkage.
If you are not 100% sure of what is INSIDE the car door you are trying to open do not look beyond step #1 of this article. You will likely damage the car door lock when trying to use a slim jim to open it. Screwing up a car opening job can easily cost over $200 if you damage your (or someone else's) door panel.
Insert the tool carefully between the passenger car door window and the weather stripping. This is a tight space and you may only have a quarter of an inch of access to the lock linkage.
Move the tool slowly back and forth until it grabs the lock rod.
Carefully move it until the lock flips over. The car door is now unlocked!

Tips

Learning how to use a slim jim starts with an understanding of car door locks. Most car door locks function by means of a control arm. The control arm activates when the car key is turned in the lock, but can also be bypassed in order to open the door without a key. A slim jim is a thin piece of spring steel with a notch cut out of one end. The slim jim's notched end is used to access this control arm via the car window. The notched end makes it easier to pull the lock rod up.

Warnings

Be VERY careful when using a slim jim to open the PASSENGER side door - never the drivers door because you can easily damage all of the controls in the drivers door with a slim jim...particularly if you are a novice.

Electric Drill is A Locksmith Tools

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:59:00 +0000

Electric Drill is a Locksmith Tools

It is an important tool for locksmiths. Let’s learn a basic thing about it today.

Electric drill is an electrical motor that rotates a replaceable drill bit to make a hole in metal, wood or plastic. Alternately, a screwdriver tip can be installed to turn screws.

The parts of a power drill include the handle, an on/off trigger with safety latch, and a reversing switch for changing the rotation direction of the drill bit, a torque adjustment, and the chuck that holds the drill bit in place

For locksmiths, it is used as a locksmith tools for installing locks, drilling into locks and safe, installing various exit devices, etc. A high quality drill can cost several times more than a low quality drill, but it is typically worth the extra money. It will provide many years of heavy-duty service and save you time and energy.

Most common basic drill sizes that are available: 1/4 inch, 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch. A drill’s size is based on the largest diameter drill bit shank the drill’s chuck can accept without adapter. Example, a drill whose chuck can hold a drill bit shank up to 1/2 inch in diameter is a 1/2 inch drill.

A drill’s power is a combination of chuck speed and torque. Check speed is measured in revolution per minute (when spinning freely in the air). Meanwhile torque refers to the twisting force at the chuck when the drill is being used to drill a hole.

The type of reduction gears on a drill largely determines chuck speed and torque. Reduction gears work like a car gears. A drill with a single stage reduction gear set has a chuck that spin very fast in the air (high rpm) but slows down considerably when drilling a hole.

Meanwhile a drill with a three stage reduction gear set has fewer rpm but more torque. Therefore if we used a drill with a higher reduction gear set, the drill become slower but more powerful.

Most 1/4 inch drills have single stage reduction gears set, which can allow a chuck to spin at +- 3000 rpm. Do not use it to drill hardwood or steel because it could damage the drill and consume a lot of time.

A 3/4 inch drill is usually faster than 1/2 inch drill and provides more torque. Usually it spins at about 1500 rpm. Very useful for drilling metals up to 3/4 inch thick and wood up to 3/4 inch thick.

A 1/2 inch drill usually has a two stage or three-stage reduction gear and it’s chuck can spins at about 650 rpm. This drill is the most popular among locksmiths because it’s wide jaws allow it to hold auger bits, boring bits and a variety of shanks. This type of drill is most useful for installing locks and door hardware or for drilling open safes.
When looking for a high quality drill, important features to look for include two or three stage reduction gear sets, minimum speed 650 rpm, variable speed reversible control switch, double insulation, all anti-friction (needle or ball) bearings and minimum power required is +-5 amps.

Variable speed drill is the best because it’s allows you to use any speed from 0 rpm to the drill’s highest speed and for the power (measured in amps), the more amps a drill uses, the more powerful it is.

Steps To Safely Use Your Locksmith Tools (Electric Drill)

1. Make sure the drill switch is in the off position and/or unplug the electrical cord if so equipped.
2. Loosen the chuck and insert the appropriate bit or tip shaft, then tighten the chuck. Some power drills require a special tool to firmly tighten the chuck.
3. Set the torque adjuster to control slippage of the drill bit, useful when turning screws without damaging the screw head.
4. Plug in or insert the battery into the power drill.
5. Place the point of the drill bit or screwdriver tip as needed.
6. Press the safety latch and on/off trigger.
7. Push the drill bit or screwdriver forward as the chuck rotates.

Maintain Your Locksmith Tools (Electric Drill)

Even though electric drills require little maintenance but it can be damaged by improper use, such as using the wrong drill bit or tip, which can drag down and damage the motor.

Locksmith Tools – Learning Path

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:46:00 +0000

Teaching the locksmith craft can begin at a very young age. When a child has an interest in the mechanics of things, in how things fit together and how they come apart, it can lead to a future with locks and other interesting mechanisms associated with locks and locksmith tools.

Locksmith tools know how can be learned by experimenting, self-taught courses, apprenticeships, from a family member in the business, from videos, or through distance courses. It takes a combination of these things to advance to the professional status.

There is a risk if you learn by experimenting, you could be setting yourself up for suspicion if anyone knows of your skills and something is stolen from an area you visited. Becoming certified may be a step towards a legitimate and positive image of your craft and your character.

If you would like to become an apprentice from an established locksmith, it is best to determine that this person is certified. If that person specializes in automotive locksmithing and you desire to learn military locksmithing, you'll have a start in the right direction but will need more information and experience.

You can learn locksmith tools technology through a school or distance courses but make sure that the school is certified and that the place where you purchase your distance course is legitimate and accredited

Learning which area of locksmithing you'd be happiest choosing may require some research and/or experimentation. Even if you choose an area and later decide to change your focus, the knowledge you've acquired could still come in handy in your career path.

Generally, courses for locksmith tools and other locksmith know how can take nine months to two years to complete. There is much to be learned through additional experience besides the courses. You'll need to update your knowledge and skills as time goes on.

The beginning of your career will usually involve books, hardware, and a key making machine. There are many helpful forums on the internet to point you in the right direction and provide helpful hints as well.

Make sure you know which locksmith tools is the best for your business. If you have a limited budget to begin with, you'll want to get the most from your money. You can't put all your money into the books and skip the key blanks. You'll need both.

Always bear in mind, locksmith tools is a must for all professional locksmiths and learning it would involve people skills as well as book work.

Locks have been produced in boring, bare, mechanical fashion, solely for the purpose of security with no thought or care to the art world. Locks are, after all, a means of privacy and security, which doesn't usually bring art to mind.
However, there have been many designs of the lock that would make a locksmith proud to say he's a part of the lock world. Decorative locks can create quite a stir in displays for businesses and homes alike. Part of the allure of certain pieces of furniture is the design of the lock.

Aside from the normal tools of the trade, such as key blanks and a key making machine, a locksmith must break down the types of key blanks into different categories and buy other items to go along with these.

Key blanks come as at least;

2. Ten brands of commercial key blanks; and
3. Automotive key blanks for domestic and foreign vehicles.

1. A manual duplicator.
2. A semi-automatic duplicator.

Another locksmith tools is transponder keys that require a code machine to code the key for the vehicles to work in the ignition. Newer model vehicles with added security methods use electromagnetic fields of energy that are sent to a computer in the car. (This is an example of technology and computers sneaking into yet another area of our lives.)

Coding keys in this manner is a way to increase security for the automobile owner as well as reduce costs for the insurance companies.

There are older vehicles still in operation that require the simple use of the Slim Jim tool, so an older locksmith tools must be kept around as well.

Besides accommodating people who can't afford the newer, more sophisticated vehicles, there are collectors of antiques who won't want their cars damaged. So, the locksmith must know how to open the vehicles in a way that causes the least amount of forced entry. Even people who don't own expensive cars are proud of what they own and won't appreciate damage.

Locksmith tools are a must for a professional locksmith. There are many locks that use the same tools and methods to unlock.

Please bear in mind for the loads of information that can't be retained, gets all information regarding locksmith tools in the manuals and written information. It must be kept for reference purposes.
