A locksmith is a specialist who works among  
other things, deals with locks on doors, 
windows,  gates, and automobiles. 
Locksmiths install, fix,  and adjust locks in 
anything from vehicles to  office buildings.
There have been persons who specialise in  
dealing with locks and keys for as long as 
there  have been locks and keys to suit 
them.
What is the role of a locksmith?
Locksmiths are professionals that set up, change, and  
restore locks and security devices in domestic, 
corporate,  and automobile settings. When permitted, 
locksmiths  make and duplicate lock keys, alter lock 
combinations, and  bypass locks.
Their expertise in installing and maintaining traditional 
 security gear and lock systems allows them to 
operate in a  variety of settings. This includes 
residential, commercial,  and industrial buildings that 
require varying degrees of  physical safety to prevent 
illegal entrance.
What tools are used for lock & Door Repair
 PADDINGTON W2 locksmiths?
Moreover, a locksmith has to assist in picking 
open  hard locks utilising a variety of tools and 
devices at  their disposal. While the design and 
materials used  in these instruments have 
evolved throughout time.
The basic design and function of locksmith 
tools  have remained essentially the same.
Let’s check inside a locksmith’s toolkit to 
see what
typical tools they use to assist you to unlock 
your  door while you’re locked out.
1.Trip Cable:
A trip cable is a curved instrument that every locksmith 
should  have on hand for any task. It’s mostly used to 
defrost frozen  tumblers (the pins inside a door lock line 
up perfectly with the  key made to open it).
The following is how a trip cable works:
•The trip cable’s end is inserted into the keyhole by the  
locksmith. With one hand holding the tool, he twists the 
knob  and opens the door with the other.
•Trip cables are often composed of high-grade steel and are  
extremely thin, allowing them to fit into any keyway size. 
They’re  also sturdy enough to preserve their form after a 
lot of wear.
2. Allen Key:
Allen keys are available at any hardware shop in the 
nearby  areas, so they aren’t only for locksmiths. But 
locksmiths utilize  Allen keys in a very different way than 
you would on a regular  basis.
Because many locksmiths grind down the end of their 
Allen
keys, the hexagon pattern transforms into a “U” — with 
open  plan sides and a gap in the center.
This is used when a trip cable doesn’t function. And the
locksmith may try to enter the lock with the modified 
Allen key  as if it were the original key to the lock.
3.Bypass Shims:
To assistwithdoor latches, elastic bypass
shims are  employed.
Withoutcracking or breaking, they
may slip right
betweenany locked doors and doorway,
or doorjamb.  Shims aren’t always huge
(they’re generally rectangular  or square) yetthey
canopen almostany latchbolt.

window  latches, in addition to doors.
