Get to Grips with Vehicle Locking Systems
It was not until the 1920s that locks began to be installed in vehicles on a regular basis. Before that, most vehicles were owned by the very wealthy and were seldom left alone without supervision. But as the number of cars on the road grew, it soon became necessary to install locks in order to secure them.
1935 saw the company General Motors introducing its six cut sidebar lock. By 1959, Chrysler was using the same variety of lock on the rear of the vehicle to lock the boot. By 1966, pin tumbler locks replaced both of these, improving both the internal mechanism and the life of the lock.
Today there are a number of different vehicle locking systems in use, all of which a locksmith Exeter will be able to advise you on. As well as keyless entry systems, there are also touch pad systems and even bio tech recognition systems. Fitting your vehicle with the proper locks and ensuring they are well maintained is an important part of keeping it safe from theft.
Locking technicians, are able to both install and open these locks successfully as well as being able to offer advice on the best way to secure your vehicle from theft or intrusion. As with most situations requiring a lock technician, check they have official proof of identification and qualification prior to having any work carried out on your vehicle.
