While getting through locked doors is generally considered the vocation of thieves it can also be a handy skill in a lot of other scenarios, the most common being when a key for a door around the house or office has become locked. Sometimes it can also be a very handy skill in an emergency, for example should a relative or friend fall in the shower and the door needs to be opened to help them.

Fortunately there are several ways in which you can open a locked door or otherwise get through. The first and perhaps best known is to pick the lock. Specialist lock-pick sets can be purchased online for not very much at all and these will make the whole process a lot easier. That said, a lock pick set is still not something that many of us happen to have lying around in case of emergency which means there?s often a good chance you won?t have one when it?s needed. In these scenarios any two long thin implements can be used – such as hair pins or paper clips straightened out.

From here the idea is to manoeuvre the tools in such a way that you can clear the passage way or ?chamber? inside. Most locks around the house these days use a cylinder locking mechanism, which works by using tiny metal pins that fit inside the cylinder to prevent it from turning. With the two tools or lock picks you can then feel around for these pins and push them up and out. This is however very fiddly and can take time if you?re not practiced. For this reason it?s not suitable for an emergency.

In the case of an emergency then (or if you?ve just given up with the fiddly lock picking), you may want to break the door down. On TV you may have seen people barging the door down with their shoulder but in reality this is a fast track to a dislocated arm. Instead you?re much better off kicking the door with the heel of your shoe and aiming for the weakest point on the door. Often it pays to kick the actual handle itself, as the wood here is usually thinnest and most hollow to allow for the locking mechanism (ironically). Failing this, aim for the area just left of the handle (assuming the lock is on the right) as this area will be structurally the weakest being furthest from the edges and nearest to the thing handle area. This obviously should still be reserved for the most pressing occasions only.

Depending on what you?re locked out of you may also want to consider breaking in through a window, or climbing in through a window if its been left open. Again if you are breaking a window to get in then you are causing damage to your property and also dealing with dangerous shards of glass. Additionally you will have to be ready to show ID and proof of address if you are stopped by the police. Of course if you?re in no hurry you can save yourself a lot of time and money by calling a locksmith.

Looking for the latest technology to help protect your home or business?

Best, Choose, Door, Fingerprint, Locks

Technology has been going up the ladder. These new technologies help families and employees feel much safer in their workplaces and homes. A new kind of technology lets people unlock a door by just entering a key. Of course this is not the latest of the technologies but still it is a god idea. For the first time when you are trying out one of these security measures this may be a safe option.

This is more convenient in letting people of the house or the employees in much faster as all they need to do is enter a key. This is something that needs to be appreciated than the fact that it can keep intruders out. This means you do not need to think of a place to hide your keys when you are out. You will not need to wait for long outside your door searching for your keys.

There are more additions to it than just the key. There also exists technology that can read cards to unlock. They also have devices that are attached to the key fobs. Fitting in keys into the lock will no longer be a problem you will need to worry about.

For people who own business, there is an added layer of security. This can be a requirement to let the employees in to the building. Pass out cards can be given to all employees with a unique number that can be identified easily at any point of time. There also needs to be a clear record of who entered the building at what time of the day.

Security is also something that is really needed. Security is more of a concern now that what it was much before. The unseen enemies can probably working with you or be right next to you and you will never know in these days. The bad boys do not always dress in black nor do they carry a sign board that proclaims their evil intensions. We will need to protect ourselves form the evils within as much as we are trying to protect them from outside. This device is useful as it helps the owner by letting him or her know of who is entering the building and also when they leave the building.

This kind of technology is available in today?s world. If you check on the prices you will find that the prices are not too much as the rates of the deadbolts and end door locks have also been going up in the recent. It is therefore recommended that you consider putting these systems into your home as well as business to add to the security.

An electronic entry system is something that you will need to look into if you are going to consider upgrading your security at home or even at your business. The benefits of these are far beyond what you will expect. This keeps a record of the people who enter the place and also when they get out of it.

I accidently (i promise) slammed my sliding glass door while it was locked (but opened) and now when i try to lock it while its closed the lock just falls down. Can I replace just the parts that lock it or am I looking at a whole new door? If so, how much do doors cost?

Gone are the days of carrying bunch of keys for opening doors. Gone are the days of keeping separate keys for separate locks. Now you would be able to unlock all the doors and cases without the help of any key. The idea is not new and has been in use for quite some time but slowly and steadily it is becoming popular and coming in people’s eye. Right! We are talking about biometric door locks.

Biometric locks provide an entirely new level of interface with extreme ease & security. The most noticeable benefit is getting rid of carrying cumbersome keys. It also mitigates a range of problems associated with PIN, standard key, RFID, magnetic stripe cards, etc., while providing new levels of ease. Biometric door locks identify the authorized people on the basis of their biometric properties, already fed earlier into the system. The unique biometric characteristics of individuals allow only correct users to enter the system.

For quite some time the use of biometric access systems, particularly biometric door locks have been plagued by two flaws. First one has been the high cost of these devices in order to achieve accurate performance that put them out of the general consumer range. The second problem has been the visual design characteristics. But in recent years biometric device manufacturers have been able to sort out both these flaws. You can now find a range of biometric access devices in the market at an affordable rate.

Types of Biometric Technology

A number of identification technologies have been used by the biometric door locks manufacturers, such as fingerprint recognition technology, face recognition technology, voice recognition technology, iris recognition technology, etc. Each of these technologies work on some type of unique and individual biometric properties that we inherit. In this way one can’t copy or duplicate one’s unique identification like the password and access card, ultimately enhancing the security.

Unlocking Doors with Eyes

Now open doors with your eyes! You might have seen it many times in sci-fi movies. But the fiction has been changed to reality. Researchers from Queensland University of Technology’s faculty of Built Environment and Engineering, has achieved sorting out one of the final obstacles to the everyday application of iris scanning technology. Already being used, this technology will become the part of our daily life in coming decade.

Like fingerprint every individual iris is unique and even the iris pattern of the left and right eye of the same person differs from each other. The iris pattern is fixed throughout a person’s lifetime. Iris recognition confirms the identity of a person based on who the person is instead of what the person possesses, such as an ID card or password.
