Voice Activated Safe


I realise this is only a toy, but whilst it is incredibly inexpensive, it is probably a product that some locksmith shops might like to sell as a novelty product for their christmas shopping customers.

Mini safe, which is activated by voice. It's designed to look like a real safe with chunky combination knob and industrial style lever and features a LCD display and a flashing code light. It comes with a preset combination, which you an easily change to your choice of number by turning the knob on the front of the safe.





Better still, set it with your voice: a simple password is spoken into the built-in microphone, and "Open Sesame", you have access to your cash. If you don't get the password or combination right, the safe tells you in four preset phrases to try again, Don't worry about about forgetting your password as it can be easily reset, providing you don't forget the combination.

Once open, the safe reveals a coin tray and a cavity for hiding your stash.

  • No more fumbling for your keys
  • Gives you a free hand to carry something inside
  • Easy installation; requires no drilling or running power cables
  • Also available with a satin-nickel finish

  • Still looking for keyholes in the dark? You won't be with these locksets that allow you to unlock your door with a convenient remote control.

You won't even have to drill any holes or wire any power cords!

    Although the locksets come with two remote controls, they'll recognize up to 30 different remote control codes in case you want to duplicate one for multiple users (great for families). Programming is a simple push-button process, and takes only minutes.

    The locksets are also incredibly secure. They're built with a 6-pin cylinder and a free-spinning cylinder guard to prevent tampering. A protective inner shroud also resists prying or wrenching. Units are constructed with lifetime tarnish-free housings (in either brass or satin nickel) and are available in two styles: Standard Doorknob and Lever Handles (left- and right-handed models). All models have adjustable backets (switchable between 2 3/8" and 2 3/4").

    Bumping Mul-T-Lock




    This is about 4 months old but the principle is straightforward. It is in Russian and performed in a lock company workshop. Admittedly, the real-world scenario may prove to be somewhat more difficult but it is clear from this piece that most Mul-T-Lock products do not offer the high security that people are paying for.

    Design Your Own T Shirts


    This may not be directly related to the security industry, but security companies and locksmiths might be interested in designing their own T shirts with their own logos or designs on them.

    As you can see in the picture, this example would cost in excess of $50.00 per shirt with a minimum order quantity of 36, but you can get them as low as $11.95 each, depending on your design.

    Knock-in-key


    Designed and made in Germany, one of the standout features of knock-in-key is the fact that it doesn’t stand out at all. It’s compact design means that installation is a breeze and it won’t look out of place in your car.

    · “What a great idea!” is a comment often heard when people hear about knock-in-key, and the best ideas are often the simplest ones, but it took a wealth of technical brilliance and programming genius to bring this `simple idea’ to you.

    · ‘Simple but not simplistic' when it comes to security, Knock-In-Key requires you to pick your own code of 5 to 12 digits and won’t allow simplistic combinations of more than two repeated numbers at a time. It also requires you to input a new code after it has unlocked your doors in case anyone saw you enter.

    · If someone does attempt to gain unauthorised knock-in-key access to your vehicle the unit will automatically become inactive for 1hr after the wrong code has been entered three times. (Just try cracking a five digit code with three attempts every hour, it would be next to impossible, and remember, you can have up to twelve digits in your code making entry even more impossible for a ‘would-be’ thief.)

    · Knock-in-key is like a ‘trusty old friend’; always ready to help you out when you need it most. Even if you forget your code, or just want to check it, you just have to query knock-in-key for it. knock-in-key acknowledges your inputs with a flashing different coloured led. Be it by knocking or inputting code directly into the unit, this device lets you know it’s there and working for you. It even lets you know if you’ve forgotten to set the code.

    · Your knock-in-key comes preset with standard parameters but some may be tailored to suit your individual needs.

    1. There is a choice of four different locking types, for different makes of vehicle.

    2. Blocking time can be shortened from 1hr to 30 minutes.

    3. You can increase the maximum number of wrong attempts at the code from 3 to 5.

    4. If you require a shorter code length it can be shortened from 5 to 4 digits.

    5. You may not want to keep re-inputting your new entry code after each use so it may be set to keep your old code active after every use.

    (Note; some of these changes of parameters will directly affect the level of security therefore we advise that due consideration should be made before making such parameter changes).

    · Knock-in-key is so versatile that it has also been successfully wired into electric door locks for buildings, houses and for various other applications.

    Bumping in Australia

    Australia hasnt escaped the bumping phenomenon either. At least the Australian designed Bilock locking system is available to protect consumers.

    Bilock cannot be picked or bumped!

    A young man (not a locksmith) created his own picks from simple widely available materials and proceeded to show how quickly and easily he can get in to one of the most common locks on people front or back doors across America.

    Maybe people will start to learn why it is becoming necessary to have a Bilock lock on their door.

    Bump proof but not pick proof!

    Here is an example of a locksmith demonstrating the procedure and tool required to manipulate a Union 5 Lever mortise lock, commonly found in Europe and the UK.

    More Bumping in the News

    This spot is from November last year in Cincinnati Ohio. Here, Marc Tobias mentions some common locks in the USA that are supposedly better quality, yet the Primus he mentions has already been bumped open.

    There is a lot of commotion being made surrounding the lock bumping phenomenon and there are many videos and news reports around the country and around the world that have become very popular lately.

    The Japanese economic ideology known as the Deming Principle, has one fundamental characteristic. CANEI. The CANEI principle is Constant And Never Ending Improvement. This ideology probably explains why the Japanese have proven in the last 50 years to be so dominant in many and varied industries. From automobiles to airplanes to lawnmowers to computer hardware and software to televisions to cameras. The list goes on.

    MIWA is a well known Japanese company in the locksmith world that has been producing many quality products for many years. One of their latest designs invoves a disc tumbler system similar to abloy but with a high tech new look and operation.

    The following video is narrated in Japanese. We appologise for no English translation, but the principle is clearly shown.

    Home Security device - low upkeep.

    A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around looking for valuables. When he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, “Jesus is watching you”. He nearly jumped out of his skin…. clicked his flashlight outs and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and promised himself a vacation after the next big score. He clicked the flashlight back on and continued his search for valuables.
    Just as he pulled the stereo out to disconnect the wires, he heard “Jesus is watching” again as clear as a bell. Freaked out, he shone his light frantically around the room. The light rested upon a parrot in a cage. “Did you say that”, he hissed at the parrot? “Yep”, the parrot confessed and then squawked, “I’m just trying to warn you”. Warn me said the burglar! Who the heck are you? “Moses”, said the parrot. “Moses” the burglar laughed. “What kind of stupid person would name a parrot Moses”? “Probably the same person who would name a pit bull Jesus”, the parrot answered.
