Knowledge about locks, locking technology and security

Our blog covers the topics we work with at Multipick: locks, lock cylinders, opening technology, burglary protection and lockpicking. We explain technical connections in a clear and understandable way, put developments into context and show how components, tools and solutions work in practice. For us, it is not only about the technology itself, but also about experience, different perspectives and the small details that often make a real difference in everyday use. 

One part of our blog is the Cylinder and Lock Glossary. Here, we explain terms such as latch, deadbolt, strike plate, free-turning cylinder and emergency and dual-entry function. Step by step, this creates a growing knowledge base for anyone who wants to understand locking technology better, whether for professional reasons, out of personal interest or as an introduction to a new topic. We also write about burglary prevention, reputable locksmith services, tool technology, lockpicking as a sport and developments within the security industry. Personal experiences, observations from everyday working life and stories from people involved in these fields also have their place here. We do not want to make things more complicated than they need to be. Our aim is to share knowledge in a way that remains easy to follow and, ideally, offers you something genuinely useful.

We are glad you are here
