Locksmith History

Locks and keys have an interesting history that goes all the way back to the traditional capital city of Nineveh in Assyria. If you remember your Bible history, that's where Jonah was delivered to proclaim destruction unless the Assyrians repented. Most likely the Assyrians developed a lock soon after that incident to stop future prophets from entering the town.

One of the later locks that was discovered was found in ancient Egypt. The lock would be a wooden pin lock which in fact had a bolt and key. As the key was place into the lock the pins were lifted out. Once the key was removed the pins fell back to place into the bolt and prevented any movement of the door.

Today's modern metal lock was first developed by English craftsman across the ninth century. This simple locking key design is still being used today. The specific person who is taught to handle locks and keys is termed a locksmith.

These professionals in many cases are located throughout the city and supply a variety of services for the public. For example, if you or a member of your family requires a new key you can visit the locksmith shop and have your key cut perfectly.
