How do people become Locked out in Norwich. People can easily become locked out of their house for lots of different reasons the obvious being lost or stolen keys, other reasons could be a broken lock or key,accidentally shutting the door behind themselves, picking up the wrong set of keys or even the lock wearing out. So what and how do we open the door when this happens. If the keys are lost or stolen we usually pick the lock open or we may choose to use a make up key, this is a technique which involves reading the levers inside the lock and then using specialist equipment to make a key to open the lock. If it is a cylinder type lock as are used on UPVC doors we have a completely different set of tools, for this type of lock we have various techniques we use such as hand picking which involves the use of a pick and tension bar or an electric lock pick and a tension bar. Picking this type of lock involves applying the correct amount of tension to the cylinder lock to be picked and then lifting the pins (often referred to as tumblers) in the correct sequence and to the correct height whilst avoiding the anti pick features designed by the manufacture. We open locks in Norwich and Norfolk on a daily basis meaning we get a lot of practice working on the locks fitted to doors rather than on the bench where the lock is at a good height and under ideal conditions, in the real world this is never the case. If you are locked out in Norwich and it is a Yale type lock fitted we may choose to use a letter box opening tool, this is not a tool that opens letter boxes, it simply means we open your door by going through the letter box. Alternatively we may use Mica board to bypass the cylinder altogether and just ease the door open using this versatile piece of plastic. So remember if you are Locked out in Norwich call PT Lock & Safe.
