Locksmith Terminology

A "lock" is a mechanical binding device, which may be used on window and doors, of home, business and cars for the purpose of restricting access to the area or property. Usually it can be released by using a key or combination code.
A "smith" is any one who shapes and works with metal. Locksmithing, as its name imply, is the assemblage and design of locks and their individual keys.

Locksmithing began as the science and art of making and defeating locks. A lock is a mechanism that secures buildings, rooms, cabinets, objects, or other storage facilities. A key is often used to open a lock. There are combination locks, keycard locks and biometrics locks. Locksmithing is one of the earliest forms of security engineering. Lock picking was one of the first methods of cracking security systems. The oldest known lock was created approximately 4,000 years old and was of Egyptian make. It was found in the ruins of the Emperor Sargon II's palace in Khorsabad. It used the same pin tumbler principle employed by many modern locks.
