Knowledge about locks, lock technology, and security

Our blog covers the topics we work with at Multipick: locks, lock cylinders, professional opening tools, burglary prevention, and lockpicking. We explain technical concepts in a clear and understandable way, put developments into perspective, and show how components, tools, and solutions work in real-world applications. For us, it is not only about the technology itself, but also about experience, different points of view, 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 better understand lock technology, whether for professional use, personal interest, or as an introduction to a new topic. We also write about burglary prevention, reputable locksmiths, tool technology, lockpicking as a sport, and developments in the security industry. Personal experiences, observations from day-to-day work, and stories from people connected to these topics also have a place here. We do not want to make things more complicated than they need to be. Our goal is to share knowledge in a way that is easy to follow and, ideally, genuinely useful to you.

We are glad you are here
