Combination Locks Service in Dublin, CA

Installation and Repair of Combination Locks

With an eye on home or business security, there are several different types of locks you can use to keep your home and or business safe. If you’re interested in an option that’s reliable, durable, and easy to use, going with combination locks might be the right call.

To avoid any confusion, we would like to quickly describe how a combination lock works. At the core of a combination lock is a tumble wheel that includes multiple discs, typically 3-6. It’s attached to the combination dial that you can see. The lock is manufactured with a predetermined code that corresponds with numbers, which are identified by notches on the discs. As a disc is turned, the notch will create a gap through which a pin can pass. When all discs have been properly aligned, the pin will go all the way through the wheel’s notches and trigger an opening mechanism. Presto, the lock opens!

Note: While lock combinations are usually predetermined, some locks allow for reconfiguring.

Based on the above information, it should be clear that combination locks have lots of moving parts. When something has moving parts, it’s going to be difficult to install and repair. That’s exactly why help is needed when dealing with these kinds of locks. Where do you get that kind of help? You’ll need to call a professional Dublin CA locksmith like Locksmith on Wheels.
