High Security Mechanical Locks - An Encyclopedic Reference

High Security Mechanical Locks - An Encyclopedic Reference

High-Security Mechanical Locks comprehensively surveys and explains the highly technical area of high security locks in a way that is accessible to a wide audience.

Well over 100 different locks are presented, organized into 6 basic types. Each chapter introduces the necessary concepts in a historical perspective and further categorizes the locks.

This is followed by detailed "how it works" descriptions with many pictures, diagrams and references.

The descriptions are based on actual dissections of the real locks. The scope is limited to key operated mechanical locks, thus keyless combination locks and digital locks are not covered.

The book does not deal with routine locksmithing topics such as installation and servicing of locks. The sensitive area of picking and bypassing of locks is dealt with only at a high level without giving detailed information that would be unacceptable in the wrong hands!

Motherf*&^er!!

Wow, something needs to be done about this ASAP. It's over at EZ as well here. I know they have a much more lenient policy on copyrighted material, but as one of their members has already said, it should be removed. Maybe one of the admin can contact them over there and see if they can talk them into taking it down?

reported to RS - they have always been very good about removing illegal content in my experience. I've written to them frequently about abuses over at EZP

I'm gonna leave this here for all to see instead of moving it to moderator discussion. I'm guessing once DB or Goon sees it other things will fall into place. 8)
