Bill's Mobile Lock: A Combination of Skills and Experience

You might think servicing a standard safe with a basic three-wheel combination lock is a simple matter, and it can be—provided your locksmith is already familiar with that particular style of lock. But the thing is, even with the more common three-wheel direct-drive lock, there can be big differences in how their individual mechanisms actually work.

And asking a locksmith to work on a lock when he doesn't understand how that lock works is like expecting a mechanic to know how to fix a car without knowing how the engine works.

Now, we can't promise we'll be familiar with every single lock we come across, but what I can promise is that the team at Bill's Mobile Lock is dedicated to constantly expanding our knowledge about locks of all kinds, old and new. So we read with interest Jeremy Reeder's recent story in Locksmith Ledger International, getting an expert refresher course on anatomy of three high-level three-wheel combinations locks.

If your locksmith doesn't have this kind of material on his or her "must read" list, you should give us a call at 1-734-421-1230 or visit www.billsmobilelock.net.

Why Your Security May "Hinge" on Bill's Mobile Lock

While high-quality locks may be the right place to start in terms of securing your doors, they certainly aren't the place to finish. That's because your doors' hinge can be just as important for protecting both you and your property.

Take fire-rated doors: They come in many shapes and sizes, but usually incorporate one of just three standard hinge types: butt hinges, pivot hinges or a continuous hinge. On the other hand, even with just this trio of options to consider, there are plenty of variables that need to be taken into account.

What is the door made of? Where is it located? How is it attached to its frame? And just looking at butt hinges, the National Fire Protection Association lists a number of specific regulations regarding hole size, hole diameter and hole location. Getting things wrong can prevent a business from opening due to code violations, or even worse could happen if a fire actually occurs and a fire door isn't hung properly.
