LOCKING SYSTEMS

Locking devices are used more commonly in security than any other tool or gadget. Almost every protection system from simply keeping prying eyes from our phones, to complex military or government defense plans will use locks in some form.

A full locking system must be more than just installed, but designed, and this comes down to more than deciding what lock to use. The goals and functionality of the entire system must be understood and coordinated to actually make it more difficult to break into an area, instead of only adding privacy or inconvenience to the proper owner or user. Locking systems should compliment each other in addition to any other security measures.

The security system should be considered to include more locks than only doors and entrances. Filing and storage cabinets will have their own locks and keys, and electronic devices such as computers and wifi systems should all be considered together when creating the local protection system, and deciding how its operation and management will be handled.
