Locksmith in Norwich and Lock Snapping

Locksmith in Norwich Links with National Lock Manufacture

If you have a UPVC door you must read this article.

If you have a UPVC door or a composite door, the type fitted to new build houses, you may be vulnerable to this type of attack. The cylinder is attacked (snapped) at a weak point and then the locking mechanism is exposed and easily defeated using a screw driver. The whole process can take as little as 20 seconds. Lock snapping two years ago was unheard of but in Bradford this technique is becoming more and more prevalent and in December of last year 27% of all burglaries across West Yorkshire involved Lock snapping. This technique is so simple, easy to learn and with this information being shared on YouTube it is leaving home owners with UPVC or composite doors exposed to having their properties burgled and possessions taken.

In this instance this locksmith Norwich installed an overnight lock which is a cut down version of the full lock which would stay on the door until the replacement lock turns up. Although the locksmith Norwich couldn't get a direct replacement the manufacture still produced a replacement unit which meant a slight adjustment to the door frame so locksmith Norwich can get the lock working with all of the auxillary locking parts which are not included in the overnight lock.

Locksmith in Wymondham

Locksmith in Wymondham since 2004, a multi-million pound scheme has been under way to regenerate the entire town. In 2005, the Shopping Centre, originally built in the 1960s, was refurbished as part of the scheme. I will now give you some history on the locksmith in Wymondham. The locksmith in Wymondham were originally blacksmiths who worked in quite primitive ways to create fantastic pieces of engineering designed to keep people out of houses, coaches and trunks. It would have been very difficult to be a locksmith in Wymondham back in those days. Through the ages locksmith in Wymondham became a more specialzed career as the robbers became more inventive, a more secure form of lock was required. So the blacksmith or locksmith in Wymondham had to develop new types of locks, this was probably a more lucrative way to make a living rather than shodding a horse. Soon the blacksmith who specialized in lock making were to be referred to as locksmith in Wymondham.

Modern Day Locksmith in Wymondham

An earlry lock made by a locksmith in Wymondham would usually comprise of one lever and would be heavily warded to prevent the lock being picked. A burgular would beat this lock made by a locksmith in Wymondham by creating a key which would bypass this warding and lift the lever to open the lock. Often this key would be cut very thin (like a skeleton) and would be only good for one opening due to the thin metal left on the key. This is where the name skeleton key came from. The locksmith in Wymondham became wise to this technique and made the warding more and more intricate to defeat the burgulars. Later on the locksmith in Wymondham added more levers to the lock and introduced side warding which required the keys to have notches cut into the side. This is a technique still used by locksmith in Wymondham today. Modern day locksmith in Wymondham no longer have to make the locks and keys are often just duplicated on a key machine. There are still some highly skilled locksmith in Wymondham who can make their own locks and keys but the locks have become so complex and must be tested to British Standard to meet insurance criteria that this art is dying out for the locksmith in Wymondham. The main jobs for a locksmith in Wymondham these days is to open and change locks or their components to make sure they are locking/working correctly and to advise on the latest insurance standards.
