How Does LockSmith open doors?

Locksmiths typically use a variety of techniques to open doors, depending on the type of lock and the situation. Here are some common methods:

1- Picking: Lock picking is a delicate process that requires patience, precision, and practice. It involves using a tension wrench and a pick to manipulate the pins inside a lock and unlock it.

By applying gentle pressure with the tension wrench and carefully setting each pin to the shear line, you can eventually turn the plug and open the lock. However, it's important to note that lock picking is a skill that should be used responsibly and ethically. If you're struggling with a stubborn lock, consider contacting a professional locksmith for expert lock repairs.

2- Bumping: Lock bumping is a technique used to open locks by causing the pins inside to bind and then release, allowing the plug to turn. It involves using a bump key and a tension wrench, and requires precision and timing.

However, lock bumping is generally considered a more destructive method than lock picking and should be used responsibly. If you're locked out of your home or need assistance with a lock, it's always best to contact a professional locksmith.

3- Drilling: Drilling a lock is usually a last resort when all other non-destructive methods, such as lock picking or bumping, fail. To drill a lock, the locksmith first assesses the type of lock to confirm if drilling is necessary. Once confirmed, a power drill with a hardened, carbide-tipped drill bit is prepared to penetrate the lock.

The locksmith carefully marks the spot for drilling, typically just above the keyhole, aiming for the lock’s internal pins or tumbler mechanism. Steady drilling is applied to break the pins while ensuring minimal damage to the door. Once the pins are destroyed, a tension wrench or screwdriver is used to turn the lock and open the door. This process, known as lock entry or lock opening, is generally quick but should only be done by a professional to minimise damage.

4- Non-destructive Techniques: Non-destructive techniques are methods used by locksmiths to unlock doors without causing damage to the lock or door. These techniques are preferred because they maintain the integrity of the locking mechanism, allowing it to be re-used after opening.

Note:

It's important to note that attempting to open a lock yourself can damage the lock or door, and it's always best to call a professional locksmith for assistance. For more information visit our site https://nottinghamlocksmith.org/

Why your pet is acting like a weirdo during quarantine, explained by animal behaviorists

The psychology behind your dog or cat’s new eating habits, constant whining, or extra-loud purring.

Michael Waters

 Apr 24, 2020

When Theo Savini, a human resources assistant in Chicago, started working from home last month, he began noticing a pattern: His dog Zelda — a corgi and English bulldog mix — would lie on his lap all day as he cycled through meetings. But the instant he stood up to use the bathroom, Zelda would start whining and scratching at the door as though he’d disappeared for hours.

Since Illinois issued its stay-at-home order on March 21, Zelda also can’t seem to get enough of the outdoors. Even after a 30- to 40-minute walk, she acts as though it never happened. “As soon as we get in, she runs right back to the door as if she wants to go out again,” Savini says.

Savini is spending too much time working? Whine. Her usual meal isn’t satisfying enough? Whine. When they go out for walks, she fights against the leash. And while she used to be frightened of heights — you’d be hard-pressed to find her so much as jumping off Savini’s bed — now, Zelda leaps onto the oversize trampoline in the backyard.

Across the globe, as the quarantine period advised by public health experts to fight the spread of the coronavirus stretches from weeks into nearly two months for some, pet owners are reporting that their furry companions are leaving old habits in the dust. Some pets are growing clingy. Others are pouncing on exercise equipment, gliding across countertops, or hiding in corners and shooting their owners concerned stares.

Shannon Shoaf, a writer in Clearwater, Florida, says her male cat has started running into walls and bouncing off them — something he had never done before. All four of her cats have begun hissing and growling, and even their purring seems louder than usual.

Ramona Misilei, a student in New Zealand, tells Vox that her cat, named Catia, used to spend all of her time in the backyard. Now Catia barely goes out, instead opting to smother with affection the family members she had long chosen to ignore, even Ramona’s 6-month-old cousin. “In the four years since we adopted her, this is the first time she has behaved like this,” Misilei says.

In Italy, where people have remained under lockdown since late February or early March, pets are also reportedly struggling with their new routines. One woman told Politico that she and her husband normally travel often, so the switch to a permanent homebound life has alarmed her dog. “He hasn’t really gotten over it and still spends much of the day on the sofa giving us suspicious looks,” she said. Another pet owner said that her cat tackles her yoga mat whenever she tries to do burpees.

This isn’t the first time that pets have weathered a pandemic lockdown. During the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, pet owners put face masks on their cats and dogs, a physical representation that pets were struggling with the outbreak just as much as people were. “She has made the best of it in good spirit, as we all have,” one pet owner who masked a 5-year-old bulldog told the Seattle Star in 1918.

A century later, we aren’t exactly masking our German shepherds or Scottish folds, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t affected. “Just like people, pets can respond with a wide variability to any change,” says M. Leanne Lilly, a professor of veterinary behavioral medicine at Ohio State University. Some pets, Lilly says, are reveling in the constant attention that comes with their owners being marooned at home. Some don’t seem to have any idea that their owners’ routines have changed — or if they do, they don’t care. But still others are finding the sudden disruption to be a stressful experience.

Their owners being at home 24/7 “does increase the number of opportunities for interactions a pet may not feel comfortable with,” Lilly says. At least for dogs, the sudden spike in foot traffic outside their homes as people walk their pets more frequently is raising their alarms that an intruder is coming: “Everyone being out with their dogs can make dogs feel much less safe in their homes.”

It’s too soon to tell what these reported new behaviors mean, if anything. One possibility is that because people with nonessential jobs are at home more, they’re finally noticing strange patterns of behavior in their pets that always existed, says Zenithson Ng, a professor of animal clinical sciences at the University of Tennessee. But animal cognition research does offer some potential guidance. Although it’s unknown yet the extent to which quarantine is triggering pet anxieties, a potential culprit of these sudden changes is what veterinary scientists call “displacement behaviors.”

Displacement behaviors are the tics that pets adopt to cope with new stressors. “In dogs and cats, these may present as mounting, pacing, vocalizing, scratching, or patterned behaviors like spinning,” says Lilly. “Just like we may play with our hair, pace in a circle, or chew our fingernails.”

Think of when dogs shake their fur like they’re trying to dry themselves off, even when they’re totally dry. Overgrooming is also a common displacement behavior, and so is paw lifting or repeated “jumping at objects, grabbing them and shaking.” In birds, displacement behaviors manifest in speaking more or striking crouching postures. Young horses, meanwhile, might gum at an adult horse with their mouths when they’re anxious.

One displacement behavior — yawning — turns up in cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds under duress. Several studies have concluded that humans, too, yawn more often when they’re nervous, although the reason why is a bit opaque. One leading theory is that yawning increases blood circulation, funneling air into the body and cooling the brain ever so slightly.

Displacement behaviors, however, raise the question: Why would animals be stressed at all? Yeah, they’re living in a pandemic — but they don’t know it.

To be sure, plenty of pets are reveling in the onslaught of human attention. “I actually think that most pets benefit from work-at-home orders, because they get to enjoy the extended company of their owners,” says Ng.

That goes for pets of all stripes: While we might stereotype dogs as the primary attention seekers, research from last year concluded that even most cats — paragons of social distancing in normal times — enjoyed human interaction more than all other tested stimuli, including food and toys.

But there are many reasons a separate cross-section of pets might become anxious under this extended quarantine. Disrupted routines are one; the same way quarantine is messing with human psychology, trickling into our dreams, our pets are also reeling from the sudden disruptions to their at-home schedules. Vets are recommending that pet owners try to maintain consistent feeding times to give pets as much structure as possible. Other contributors are different walk schedules and a sudden lack of personal space at home. Even pets that adore attention might need some distance from time to time.

“It’s really important that as owners we try to stick to ‘business as usual’ when it comes to the daily routines our pets are used to, and to ensure that they still have quiet, undisturbed places they can go throughout the day,” says Lauren Finka, a cat behavior researcher at Nottingham Trent University in England. “Their normal routine will be disrupted, which can cause anxiety because their sense of predictability and control may be challenged.”

Pets might also be internalizing some of the anxious signals their owners — concerned about their health, their jobs, their loved ones, their rent payments — are broadcasting. According to a paper published in January from Fabricio Carballo, an animal cognition researcher at the University of El Salvador, dogs experience higher levels of anxiety when their owners are reeling from stress, a process called “emotional contagion.” A 2019 study in the UK found a similar pattern in cats: When you’re stressed out, cats will pick up on it.

PETS MIGHT ALSO BE INTERNALIZING SOME OF THE ANXIOUS SIGNALS THAT THEIR OWNERS — CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH, THEIR JOBS, THEIR LOVED ONES, THEIR RENT PAYMENTS — ARE BROADCASTING

What all this means is that we humans might be part of the problem. “It is possible that owners are the ones behaving strangely, and their dogs are trying to adapt,” says Carballo. They “may be bored and ask their pets to perform new tricks, pushing them to behave strangely.”

If the internet is any indication, there’s plenty of evidence to back that theory up. TikTokers are turning their dogs into makeup influencers. Other internet users are remixing famous paintings with their pets as models — maybe none more successfully than the Dog With(out) A Pearl Earringor this gerbil-size art gallery. Very little about this moment can pass for normal.

“With owners working at home, the relationship and dynamic can certainly change. Perhaps there are more walks, more cuddles, and more overall attention,” says Ng.

But Ng’s biggest concerns center on what happens when the lockdown eases. For pets with separation anxiety, the transition out of a routine where their owners are home 24/7 and into one where pets may again be alone for long stretches won’t be easy. “We might recommend making it a smoother transition by gradually increasing the time away from home,” he says. “Also being sure to make more visits home or having a pet sitter come more frequently throughout the day may help.”

Humans are not the only ones attuned to the widespread societal shifts brought by the pandemic. As we look ahead to a gradual return to some aspects of regular life, we shouldn’t forget that our choices may have psychological effects on our pets. For the most anxious pets, another sudden rewrite of their routines could just fuel those bouts of whining at the bathroom door.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Have a New Home, and It’s So Not What You’d Expect

Samir Hussein/WireImage

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are kissing Kensington Palace buh-bye! After months of speculation about where they will raise their first child, who is expected in April, the royal family has confirmed that the couple are ditching their abode at Nottingham Cottage in London’s Kensington Palace and moving on—to Frogmore Cottage.

This 10-bedroom, stucco-faced cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, about 30 miles west of London, is reportedly a special spot for the newlyweds. For one, it’s a stone’s throw from Frogmore House, a sprawling estate where they hosted their wedding reception and shot their engagement photos.

But don’t be fooled—Frogmore Cottage isn’t as luxurious as Frogmore House. In fact, it’s currently inhabited by Windsor Castle staff!

Even weirder? Turns out Frogmore Cottage gets its name from an actual amphibian infestation. The cottage earned its name in 1875, when Queen Victoria visited and noticed an “immense number of little frogs” on the property, which she found “quite disgusting.” Yikes!

So why did Harry and Meghan choose such run-down digs?

Why Harry and Meghan chose Frogmore Cottage

While this housing choice might seem like a head-scratcher, it makes sense if you remember Markle’s love of home design—and her own humble beginnings. The fact that she had a lifestyle blog suggests that she might love the process of overhauling a house, rather than simply moving into one that’s already picture-perfect.

And wouldn’t you know it, before the royal couple moves in, Frogmore Cottage is slated to undergo extensive renovations, whose cost will run into millions of pounds?

The first order of business? Security. In the past, Windsor Castle visitors could walk within yards of Frogmore Cottage, right up to the small fence surrounding its gardens. Now that a royal couple will be living here, that just won’t do.

If Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex move into a renovated Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate, as reported @byEmilyAndrews, then safety considerations will have to be addressed, including access by the public.

So plans are already in motion to upgrade security. While details are scant so far, Los Angeles-based broker and home security expert John Graff would wager that some road closures may be in order.

“Any public roads immediately adjacent to the home will need to be assessed for possible closure, with the installation of security bollards to prevent attacks,” he says. “Other likely additions include bulletproof and blast-resistant windows, security fencing, chemical/biological weapon detection devices, and, of course, alarms and video cameras.”

Joe DiRosa, a real estate agent at RealtyTopia in Wyomissing, PA, agrees that a ton of new security features should be installed on the property.

“Everything from motion sensors to fiber-optic cameras should be installed,” he says. “In addition, I expect the couple’s personal security team will make a visible presence on the property to protect against both the paparazzi and any unwelcome intruders.”

Additional renovations at Frogmore Cottage

Security aside, the cottage itself is in desperate need of renovations to suit this royal duo’s more modern tastes. After all, Markle’s former home in Toronto oozed California cool, rather than stuffy Old World charm. How will the twain meet? DiRosa expects the decor to retain a Victorian look, but with contemporary upgrades.

“Artwork, tapestries, and furniture will be shifted around, as I would expect they will have access to the Royal Collection,” he says. “I am sure several of the paintings will be swapped out with more modern English artists that are more within the couple’s taste.”

Real estate experts also say they’d expect to see a lot more baby-proofing.

“I’d think the renovations would include a main-level family room where parents and children can play on the floor without fear of damaging heirloom sculptures and art,” says Dana Scanlon, a real estate agent in Bethesda, MD. Furthermore, she’d recommend “heated bathroom floors throughout, to ward off the damp English chill, and a glass conservatory for breakfasts and family meals.”

Only time will tell what Frogmore Cottage will become, but let’s just say the members of the royal renovation team have a lot of work ahead of them!

Delta Security helps to secure Vape shop chain

Delta Security has installed a remotely-monitored intruder alarm and access control solution to protect customers and staff at three new London stores of the national e-cigarette and Vape brand, Cigara.

Established in just 2012, Cigara has grown rapidly with a total of 18 nationwide stores.

The system features easy to use Galaxy Honeywell alarm panels that are ideally suited to retail environments. The panels integrate with an access control system using secure (i.e. non-cloneable) fobs.

A Cigara spokesperson says they sought a credible, knowledgeable and reliable London-based security company:

“When asking for recommendations Delta Security’s name came up again and again,” he explains. “We wanted the same system as we have in our other 15 outlets, because we know it works well. Delta had an excellent knowledge of the products and was able to install on time, and to budget.”

In addition to being competitively priced, the Cigara spokesperson says Delta has expert technical knowledge:

“Four days before one store was due to open, an issue arose with the lock for our electric roller shutters. A number of other security firms informed me it would take two weeks to fix, but Delta came up with an alternative solution that resolved the problem in just two days. This approach is invaluable to retail businesses such as Cigara.”

With seven more stores planned to open in London, the Cigara spokesperson is confident he has found the right security partner:

“From the senior management to the engineers and office-based staff, everyone at Delta is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, organised and able to accommodate last minute requests!”

The intruder alarm is monitored 24/7 by Custodian Monitoring Services from its alarm receiving centre (ARC) in Nottingham.

Helpful Tips On How To Improve Your Home Security

Are you afraid of the noises you hear at night? Does leaving your home leave you anxious? The best way to alleviate this paranoia is to secure your home, but how? This article includes a ton of great ideas which you can use to secure your home today, if you put your mind to it.

Keep lights on in your home or put the stereo on when you are going on vacation. This is important as it makes it look like someone is there at the house, so burglars will refrain from taking action with a potential robbery. This will keep your house safe and protected.

If you've got lots of people you don't know on your social networks, don't let them know that you're going to be on vacation. Potential intruders could get a good idea of when you will be gone by monitoring what you share on social networks.

If your security system alarm goes off and scares the burglar away, you can be fined for a false alarm. If the police send someone to check your property in response to a security alert and no burglar is there, it is considered a false alarm. You can be fined and charged because your security system worked.

Do not leave an extra key under your doormat or any other place that a burglar would look for it. If you know that you have a tendency to misplace your keys, it would be a good idea to leave an extra set with one of your neighbors, or you can leave them inside your car.

Locks

If you've recently bought a home, make sure you change the locks and alarm pass codes. Many people just take these items as is and don't give them another thought, but consider that just about anyone could have a copy of the key or the pass code. That can include neighbors who you don't really know. Be safe and change out both when you buy.

Switch your locks. Whether you just bought your home or someone just moved out that you were living with, this is an important step to any new situation. It is pretty cheap and the job won't take more than a few hours.

Keep your windows locked. It seems like an obvious step to take, however many people simply forget to check the locks on their windows. Thieves are always looking for the easiest way into a home, and doors and windows are among the first entrance points they check. This includes screened windows too, as screens can pop off quite easily.

Always make sure your doors are locked. Every time you open your windows to air out the house, go around and double check the locks in the evening. Many people forget to do this, and the reality is, most burglars gain entry through windows and doors. Lock everything, no matter what time of day it is.

If you are moving into a home that had a previous owner, then you should immediately change the locks. Even though the previous tenant may have turned in their key, you never know if they have a copy. You can install locks yourself to make sure you're the only one who has a key or call a locksmith such as http://www.yoursecurelocksmiths.co.uk who will know what to do.

Locksmith

After getting a new home, make sure to change its locks. You're not aware of any copies that have been made by the previous owners of the house. To make sure you are the sole person with access to the home, engage the services of a locksmith. Be sure to cal a locksmith if you were to lose your keys as well.

To avoid being accidentally locked out of their own home, some people like to hide a key to their house in various outside places, such as under a flower pot, under the welcome mat or inside a fake rock in their landscaping. If you are guilty of this behavior, stop immediately! Numerous home invasions occur because the intruder searched for a hidden key and found it. It will be less costly to call a locksmith than it is to replace your stolen valuables.

If you are moving into a new home, the first thing you should do to make your home more secure is to change the locks. You do not have to change the actual locks, ‘locksmiths Nottingham’ can re-key the locks to make them inaccessible with any of the previous keys.

Have the locks changed if you're moving into a new home. This is correct regarding home purchases and rentals, so discuss it with your landlord, or perform the lock switch yourself.

Home security can be yours in short order, but only if you use what you've read here. Start with one step at a time and your home will be a safe haven in short order. All it takes is a little determination and the knowledge you have gained by reading this article.
