LOCKSMITHING IN THE EARLY PERIOD AND ITS IMPORTANCE
Do you have any idea how and where the lock started?
It is believed that the profession of locksmithing began as far back as 4,000 years ago. It was during the time of ancient Egypt and Babylon, which is now Iraq (it is in the southern part of the capital city Baghdad).
Even then, ancient locks were reliable because even then thieves were common. Most of the locks were made of large and rough wood. Wood was also the key in ancient times.
Over time the locks and keys that locksmiths make also vary. There are keys that are also purposely made into rings to be worn and not just lost. Those who had it back in the day were rich Romans. It can be called a status symbol. By 870-900 AD, locks began to be made of metal. It is derived or copied from the works of a craftsman from England.
Over time, the type of key mentioned has also spread to Europe and China. Of course, the quality also improves, and the protection becomes more solid. It has also reached different countries as time progresses.
Just like today, the locksmiths of the past also took a variety of knowledge to produce quality locks, simply reliable because they were strengthened by technology. This is also the basis for them to come up with a way to repair the lock or other problems related to it.
This is the same knowledge that AL&K, Your Neighborhood Locksmith applies today, and that's why we are trusted by our customers.
