What is a locksmith anyway?
To those in this world who have never had the privilege of needing a locksmith, they might not have any
concept of what a locksmith really does. Some will conjure up an image of an old fashioned lock and ancient
skeleton keys. The locksmith comes along and finds the right key and suddenly the lock is open like magic.
Today that image of a locksmith is outdated. Twenty-first century locksmiths are skilled sophis�cated
cra�speople who deal with a dizzying array of computer technologies that seem to change on a monthly
basis. A locksmith can deal with everything from a car with a transponder in the key to some control access
or panic hardware with electronic strike. We see everything going to electronics. Why even our key
machines are ge$ng more complicated with computer technology and a laser reader for key duplica�on.
Yes, the locksmith of today is in the know when it comes to technology, but the locksmith that thinks that
they can't learn "all that new stuff", will be le� in the dust. Think about it...
Been to the mee�ng lately... We have several new faces and lots of fresh ideas to pass along to you.
Wish you were there. If for nothing else, come for all the neat stuff that is raffled off at each mee�ng. See
you there.

CSCLA Newsle2er
Joseph Bramah. Designed a round lock mechanism operated by a tubular key,
the key is inserted into the lock and the key depresses the sliders. When the
sliders match the slots in the key the lock can be turned. This original design
was patented on August 21st
, 1784 in the United Kingdom, it was granted the
original 14 years and was extended addi�onal 14 years in June 2nd
, 1798.
This type of lock was extremely unique to the era thus gave it a higher level of
security and was installed by the upper class to protect their goods and
dwellings. How this lock works is, the key has slot cut into the barrel of the
key, the key is pushed onto the lock and the distance the slider moves within
the key aligns the shear line allowing the key to turn the lock.

What would you do?
This past month I ran a crossed an odd situa�on, it was an older GM car
from the late six�es and they lost the keys… no big deal. I tear down the
column all the way to the big nut that holes the steering wheel onto the
sha�. I grab my socket set and proceed to forcefully remove this nut. A�er
a few minutes I get the nut off and no�ce it was not the correct nut or
thread type for this vehicle. In fact the sha�s threads were stripped out.
In the above photo, I am si$ng in the front seat knowing that I cannot put
this steering wheel back on. The guy wants his car running (New keys) and
I am telling him that he needs the steering column replaced or repaired.
What would you do? If you thought that I would put it back together and
close my eyes to the whole thing… you’d be wrong. We ended up towing it
to a mechanic and they repair the column’s sha� and installed the correct
nut and retainer.

What Lock Do I need to Prevent Lock Snapping?
If you’re going for a TS007 approved lock to combat lock snapping then it
has to be a 3 star approved lock. While there is another way (using a 2 star
handle or escutcheon and a 1 star cylinder, or the preferred op�on of
u�lizing a “Sold Secure Diamond” approved cylinder) if you want to go the
cylinder only route, which was the route the program was going, then it has
to be a 3 star.
No Men�on of The Star Ra�ng
There was unfortunately no men�on of this star ra�ng on the program,
although there was a picture shown of some alleged 3 star approved
cylinders. We felt it was something that had to be addressed, and have contacted the program
makers to highlight this. We can fully appreciate that when making a TV show it’s impossible to
include everything, especially with something as complex as tes�ng and standards for locks, but as
a 1 star cylinder has not been tested to protect against snapping, we felt it vital that this seemingly
small, but actually vital, bit of informa�on be highlighted.
An� Snap Lock Cylinders, Essen�ally TS007 has 3 levels associated with it.
1 star – for cylinders (basic approval, no tes�ng for snapping)
2 star – for handles and other door furniture (e.g. security escutcheons)
3 star – for cylinders (tested
for resistance to snapping)
The minimum criteria for
protec�ng against lock
snapping is to achieve at least
3 stars, either through the use
of a 3 star cylinder, or through
the use of a 1 star cylinder and
2 star handle or escutcheon.
