A lock is a sophisticated mechanical or electronic fastening device that is normally released by a physical object such as a key, keycard, fingerprint, RFID card, security token, or using a keycode or password. Several of these can be used in combination.

Types of Locks

Pin-tumbler locks – most common type of lock in the western world. The earliest form of lock and key used as early as 2000 BCE in Egypt. Originally made from wood, but, now made from bronze or iron. This is the most widely and mass-produced locks in the modern world.

Wafer-tumbler locks – a very inexpensive type of lock mass produced for cabinets or vehicles. Generally made of die-cast zinc alloy.

Lever locks – popular lock type for safes and North American prisons today. Built using very strong metals, these are also used as door locks.

Disc tumbler lock – sometimes called the ‘Abloy’ lock from Finland. The mechanism contains no springs and is very durable. This is the hardest lock to pick.

Other Lock Types

Other lock types include the warded locks, tubular locks, electronic locks – itself a huge industry in the security industry – and other variations based on common lock types like the dimple locks, a variation of the Yale cylinder lock; ‘laser track’ car locks, a variation of wafer locks; and other higher security lever locks including some types of warded locks.
