Modern High-Security Locks (Book)

Master locksmith Steven Hampton, author of the best-selling Secrets Of Locking Picking, takes the art of picking locks one-step further with Modern High-Security Locks. Here, he collects some of today’s most popular pick-resistant locks and set out to see which ones hold up to their claims. Generally speaking, the more complex a lock, the more secure it is. However complex the lock gets, though, it must be durable, dependable and user-friendly. It has to be tough enough to endure physical attacks, but it can’t be machined too tight or it will jam up with just a breath of dust. It must be simple and easy to lock and unlock with its key, or the customer will not pay the higher price for it. It is this delicate balance between security and utility that allows the locksmith to open this new generation of locks. Steve shows locksmiths how each lock is picked and how line it will take. He details the tools of the trade and includes patterns and instructions for making your own picks and tension wrenches. He even includes ancient Tibetan Buddhist tantric visualization exercises to help locksmiths learn to “see” the inner workings of the lock within the mind’s eye. Veteran locksmiths or those new to the trade will find Hampton’s latest book an invaluable sourcebook. FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!
