Ever since man started gathering possessions and property, he has been concerned about their safety. The early Egyptians, Greeks and Romans used locks to protect their valuables from thieves. Wooden locks were excavated from the 4000 year old Mesopotamian civilization as well. The oldest key-lock combinations were known as pin locks. These devices consisted of a wooden cylinder with a hole through its axis for the keys. The modern pin tumbler locks use several pins of varying length that prevent the lock from opening without the correct key. They were invented by Linus Yale, Sr<\/a>. in 1848. His son developed the smaller flat key with serrated edges and locks with pins of varying lengths in 1861. Most modern locks still use this basic mechanism. The technicians at SOS Locksmith NYC<\/a> are well-trained and aware of these internal mechanisms.
