Combination lock – safer than most

Combination locks have been around for ages now. Even the old safe dial is a combination lock, in which a combination of dials clockwise and counter clockwise and for a predetermined amount of times unlocks the safe.

Nowadays some of these locks are much safer and harder to break into, which has made them become more popular even in private households, either as a substitute for the common lock and key combination, or as an extra lock.

Let's take a look at the different varieties these locks come in. There are many types; where one of the simplest types is the multiple-dial locks which are often seen in low-security locks such as bicycle locks. They use several discs with notches that cut into them.

Secondly is the more secure single-dial lock seen in padlocks or safe-locks which usually use a single dial that interacts with several parallel discs or cams.

Thirdly are the locks used in many doors which require the user to enter a numeric combination or sequence on a keypad in order to unlock them. This type of locks is often seen in office buildings and laboratories where information needs to remain classified or secret. This kind of a lock may be using a single rotating dial, a set of several discs, or an electronic mechanism which opens the lock once the right combination has been entered.

A typical lock has a combination dial that is attached to a spindle which runs through several wheels and a drive cam. The number of wheels in a lock wheel pack is determined by the numbers in the combination; one wheel for each number. These wheels and their notches will line up completely when the right combination is dialed, and this forms a gap, thus unlocking the lock.

These types of locks can now be easily purchased online, especially through those sites that offer a large variety, the most popular ones being: Combination Padlocks and Dial Combination Padlocks, Changeable Cylinder Lock, Combination Baggage Locks.
