3. Locks are one of the most important inventions throughout
human history because they allow you to keep your home and
belongings secure while you are sleeping or away from the
house. Locks can also be used to keep young children out of
dangerous items, like cleaning or pest treatment products.

4. The key is inserted in the key slot and then rotated to shift
the bolt in a ‘locking or unlocking’ position while rotating the
key some detainers (levers/pins) are provided in a pre-
arranged position to restrict the movement of the key if it is
not designed to function in that particular lock.
01. Lever Mechanism
Basic pin-and-tumbler locks have several spring-loaded pins
inside a series of small cylinders.
When the right key slides into a pin-and-tumbler lock, the
pointed teeth and notches on the blade of the key allow the
spring-loaded pins to move up and down until they line up
with a track called the shear line
2. Pin Cylinder Mechanism
To restrict excess to a place, methods were devised which intern
developed into the manufacturing of locks. There are two
mechanical principles by which security in key operated locks is
obtained.
One is by means of fixed obstructions to prevent wrong keys from
entering or turning in the locks. The other implies moveable
detainers (levers/pins) which must be arranged in pre-selected
positions by the key before the bolt is moved. There are two types
of mechanism to achieve the above two principles:

5. A deadbolt lock is the most common option for
home security, consisting of a thick metal bolt that
protrudes through a strike plate and into the door
frame to prevent the door from being opened.
Simply enter the correct key into the keyhole and
turn the key to open or close the deadbolt.
You can also put deadbolt locks on compartments or
drawers that hold highly valuable items or
documents instead of relying on a lightweight cam
lock.

2. DOUBLE CYLINDER
3.VERTICLE CYLINDER

6. Padlocks are a common option for securing a
wide range of items and compartments, such
as storage sheds, luggage, or even toolboxes.
Instead of being installed in the door, the
knob, or the lever, padlocks are self-
contained locking mechanisms that can be
completely removed from the locking latch
on the door or compartment.
TYPED OF PADLOCK-
1. Closed shackle padlocks
2. Straight shackle padlocks (or roller
shutter padlocks)
3. Discus or circular padlocks
4. Long shackle padlocks

7. Mortise Locks are powerful locks used on external doors and are
available in light-duty and heavy-duty models. They comprise an
internal system, making them more of a lockset than a lock.
These locksets can house either knobs or levers and provide more
security than cylindrical locks alone. They are threaded and utilize
mortise components added to the door. The box lock is set within a
deep recess, or mortise, in the edge of the door and secured using a
set screw and a cam, creating the locking mechanism

•Type A – male adaptor with female NPT thread
•Type B – female cam coupler with Male NPT thread
•Type C – female cam coupling with hose barb end
•Type D – female cam coupler with FNPT Thread
•Type E – cam adaptor with hose barb end
•Type F – camlock adaptor with male NPT Thread
•Type DC – Dust caps for male adaptors
•Type DP – Dust Plugs for female couplers

9. Knob and lever locks are designed for use with indoor
door locks in order to prevent the door knob or door
lever from turning and opening the door. These locks
are most commonly seen on residential bathroom
doors to provide basic security and privacy for anyone
using the bathroom.
However, knob and lever locks should not be installed
on exterior doors because they are relatively easy to
bypass or break, leaving the home vulnerable to a
break-in.

10. MAINTYPES OF ELECTRONIC LOCKS
1. Magnetic Locks
2. Electric Door Strikes
3. Electric Bolt Locks
4. Electronic Keypad Locks
5. Radio Frequency Identification
6. Bluetooth Electronic Locks
7. Biometric Equipment

11. Smart locks connect to your access system,
usually via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but also to
management software. This allows you to
manage access remotely, gain additional data
about occupancy, and improve the guest
experience by facilitating streamlined, no-touch,
keyless check-in.

12. Whether it's the classic charm of a
lever lock, the intricate mechanics
of a disc detainer, or the
convenience of an electronic
keypad, each lock type has a role
to play in our security landscape.
By appreciating the nuances of
these mechanisms, we can better
protect our homes, belongings,
and sensitive information,
ultimately contributing to a safer
and more secure environment for
ourselves and those around us.
