Locksmithing has existed for over 4000 years, with early examples found in ancient Egypt and Babylon. Locksmiths were metalworkers who crafted locks and security devices out of wood and metal to protect buildings and storage. In the 18th century, the introduction of metallurgy allowed locksmiths to create more durable locks and keys from metal. Several famous 18th century locksmiths, including Joseph Bramah, Jeremiah Chubb, James Sargent, Samuel Segal, and Harry Soref, invented new lock designs that significantly advanced security and the profession of locksmithing. Their innovative locks were tougher to break into and provided better protection for homes, safes, and other structures.
