Safe Picked Open In 50 Seconds. Key Operated Safe Locks Are Dangerous - www.certifiedsafesireland.ie

It has long been possible to access a mechanical safe or vault lock by non-invasive manipulation and in doing so leave no trace of entry. Once a skill reserved to specialists in the locksmith profession, the internet has made both tools and comprehensive information on techniques for lock manipulation available to such an extent that lock manipulation has become an international sport, with lock picking competitions held annually in many European countries.

If a lock can be opened and in doing so leave no trace of entry, then how can it be considered secure? Quite simply, it can't. A fact that has been recognised not only by lock manufactures Europe wide, with class D locks (the highest grade of commercial safe lock) under the EN1300 European standard having no mechanical equivalent, but it has also been widely recognised by insurers.

Key Locks: A key is basically a shaped piece of metal that anyone can use to open your safe or vault. It doesn’t restrict access or know who uses it and can be copied even from a photograph now more easily than ever.

Mechanical Combination Locks: A mechanical combination lock works by rotating a series of wheels called "wheel packs" with a gap cut into them so that they line up and allow a lever attachment known as a "fence" to drop into it and operate the lock.

Both of these safe lock types have been with us for over a hundred years in their modern form so it is hardly surprising that by today's standards they can be quite easily bypassed and the methods of doing so are increasing and becoming more readily available.
