How a client dealt with his locked safe....: I remembered some of my A level physics that cells put out more voltage with higher temperature - so applied a fan heater to the safe near the battery box and sure enough 30 minutes later was able to open the safe and replace the cells

Tigers have striped skin not just striped fur. The stripes are like fingerprints and no two tigers have the same pattern. A tiger's stripes help to break up the outline of its body and make it hard to see

Has this been opened with a cannonball? This picture shows a #cowboy opening, definitely NOT by #Metrolocks.

Parking is a big problem. #Locksmiths are van based. Some Metrolocks' engineers are now experimenting with #public #transport, bikes and occasionally cabs.

The most often used tool to open doors is the Mica card, a slightly larger than postcard sized flexible plastic sheet. The process is called "credit-carding" or "slipping" a lock. Needs a little practice.
