Emergency Lock Picking Services - The Specialty of a
24 Hour Locksmith
By Annora Smith
The last time you locked yourself out of your car and called the locksmith to pick the lock was
when you probably realized that lock picking is not just done by thieves but by well intentioned
lock smiths as well. Such emergency services are among the many that are offered by a 24 hour
locksmith. Helping you with your locked up vehicle, or gaining you entry back into your house
when you have lost your keys or even getting you out of a bathroom where you have gotten
trapped.
Most locksmiths specialize in being available on a 24 hour basis and find it a very lucrative
specialization as there aren't many locksmiths that are prepared to work around the clock. The
pay is good especially because of the emergency associated with most of the services. Picking a
lock would hardly take a few minutes for an expert locksmith and you get paid out of the relief
that the customer feels. Lock picking and breaking in needs considerable skill that can be
acquired only through years of training.
Lock picking in Ancient times
In ancient times, locksmiths were considered as artists rather than manual laborers. Intricate
locks were created for use by the royals and noblemen and the makers gained favor with the
kings of their times.
The oldest lock discovered in Egypt seems to have incorporated the tumbler and pin system
that is still used in many modern day locks. Making locks was the chief occupation and picking
locks or rendering emergency services were probably not on the list of services of such revered
artisans.

capable of doubling up as security consultants. Usually in the event of a theft or burglary or
even a fire, emergency services usually call up the service of a 24 hour locksmith to check on
the broken into safe or house or unlock a door or two during a fire emergency.
