Can safes be opened with a stethoscope, or is that a Hollywood myth?

Safe opening with a stethoscope is something that locksmiths can do, although they also use other methods including brute force. The stethoscope amplifies the sound coming from inside the combination lock. When the dial is turned to the right number, a wheel inside the lock aligns in a particular way and makes a certain sound. The safecracker then knows that number is correct and can turn the dial the other way to listen for the next correct number.

What is a double cylinder deadlock and should I install one on my front door?

A deadlock can only be opened with a key. A single-cylinder model will only accept a key on one side, the door’s exterior. A double cylinder modal will take keys in both the exterior and interior sides. Sometimes the interior side also has a twist knob so you don’t need a key to get out. This last point is the major consideration when choosing a double deadlock. If there’s an emergency and you can’t access the key to exit the house quickly, you need the twist knob for a quick exit.

What is a transponder and why is there one in my car key?
