List of Manufacturers ......................................... 159 iv ABSTRACT An investigation was made of available non-military literature and information on high security, unexposed locking devices used on doors in order to identify and document the present state of the art of these• devices and systems. Locking devices were investigated both as overall systems and as sub-system components, with existing categories of lock types presented. A new classification system for locks is also presented as a framework for future research and development. Locks are classified by their installation, oper- ation and component Characteristics. Intended to provide an overview of available commercial locking devices for the uninitiated researcher as well as anyone interested in the field of locking device design, the report also makes recommendations for future lock development. A glossary of technical terms is included together wth appendices containing an anotated bibliography, notes on master keying and annotated lists of standards, specifications, organizations and manufacturers. Key Words: Door security; entry control; hardware; locking device classification; lock operation, installation, and characteristics. Certain commercial equipment and sources are identified in this report in order to make it more useful to the reader. Such identification does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Bureau of Standards, nor does it imply that the equipment identified is necessarily the best or only available equipment for the purpose described. The points of view or opinions expressed in this report are those of the author or individuals to whom they are ascribed, and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of either the National Bureau of Standards, the Civil Engineering Laboratory or the Defense Nuclear Agency. Preface This report, though limited in scope, provides a framework for understanding prime aspects involved in the design of high-security locking devices. In addition to investigating available literature, requests for information were sent to 282 manufacturers and distributors of equipment; 79 companies responded. Follow-up phone calls and visits were made to some users and manufacturers for additional information. Much information on locks is proprietary, therefore many manufacturers and distributors are not ~lilling to submit anything more than catalogue sales information. This information varies widely in detail. Consequently some devices are more elaborately described than others. The reader is advised to pursue more detailed information on particular devices directly with the manufacturers. Acknowledgments In addition to the manufacturers listed in Appendix G, the author appreciates the assistance of the following individuals during the collection of information for this report: Russel Barber, Secret Service; Robert Barnard Department of Defense, Army; Marvin Deasley, Defense Nuclear Agency; Richard Blackmon, Nuclear Regulatory Commission; C.

It was Amanda, a friend of mine who has recently taken up lockpicking. She was complaining that the challenge lock I left at her house had pricked her with a metal splinter. I told her I was sorry, she simply replied: “I HAVE BLED FOR LOCKSPORT!” I have too actually, when I first tried to make my own picks. In fact, in an informal survey I found that 100% of NDE readers who were surveyed have bled for locksport. A staggering percentage! We give our blood to these locks and it’s worth remembering what they give to us. Locks provide us not just with physical safety, but with peace of mind. They are a staple of the civilized world. A lock says “someone owns this, it’s not for you.” It’s the dividing line between the public and the private. And for the lockpicker? A lock presents a chal- lenge, a never-ending supply of new puzzles and as our hobby grows. Fueled as every- thing is now, by the internet, we see more collaboration, faster progress and ever more clever solutions to the problems the locks pose. However, there are new challenges that we should have seen coming. Specifically, how to disclose this information. The trouble is, when we get excited at our discovery and bound off to tell as many people as we can, we are celebrating what a lock means for us, it’s been conquered, the puzzle solved, the code deciphered.

    The Lock Collector From Tony Beck January/March 2006 Issue No. 10 All Ri ghts Reserved. Copyright ©, R. A. Beck 2006. Editor’s Note: This issue extends the miserly single page biography of Edwin C otterill included in the last one! He stands highly amongst the greatest English lock inventors, particularly for his Climax Det ector lock patented in 1846. This issue contains Part 2: His Middle Age and Lock Inventions. The final Part 3 will follow next i ssue. Most of us will know of Willenhall Lock Museum’s demise and transformation to The Locksmith’s House. All this involved co nsiderable change when the Black Country Living Museum became the new owners in May 2003. Richard Hopkins, who helped them to de al with the complexities of cataloguing the Locks, Keys and Archive material, has kindly contributed an article setting out what was involved. I do hope it will be found interesting, and perhaps some questions will arise. Like - will an Inventory of all the locks, keys and archives be sometime available to view? Does the Museum intend to consult with lock collectors on what items are to be exhibited in the Locksmith’s House apart from those initially on show? Also what plans are there to introduce the Museum’s exhibits held in BCLM’s Dudley store to public view? It’s certainly sad to see the opportunity lost that might have seen finance being provided to expand and create a fine Museum dedicated to locks and keys; like there is in Austria, France, German y, Holland, U.S.A., etc.
