The Importance Of Privacy

Locksmiths and locks are often thought of purely in terms of the security they offer

. Of course the main purpose of a lock is to prevent anyone without the correct key from entering which in turn means that there is no trespassing and that your belongings can be kept safe, as well as your property and potentially information. At the same time it can also keep you and your family safe as it prevents anyone from entering who might have dishonourable intentions. However what a locksmith also provides is privacy, and this should be viewed as just as important as the protection and safety.

Locks are installed in many places however purely for the privacy they provide us with. For instance locks on bathroom doors are designed purely for privacy and have very little to do with security or safety. This is self evident when you consider the fact that there is very rarely anything of particular value kept in the bathroom, and interesting when you consider that a bathroom is more likely to have a lock on it than say a study, which will be much more likely to contain more valuable things. The purpose of the lock on the bathroom door then is purely to allow you to use the toilet in privacy with no worry of someone walking in.

Bedrooms meanwhile also have locks that are largely installed for privacy purposes. While these rooms do often have items of value, this is certainly not one of the main purposes of the bedroom. However the bedroom is a place where you get changed, where you sleep and where you can enjoy the privacy to do whatever you like and 'switch off' from the outside world. At the same time it's also a place where you might want to store private things from sight. This could be something like a birthday present for someone, a guilty pleasure, or perhaps a diary. By being able to lock these things away, you can achieve the privacy necessary to read and write whatever you want to without any compromising information or sensitive data getting out.

This is also the reason that locksmiths regularly deal with locks installed on cupboards and drawers which are used purely for filing away smaller items and information. Similarly locksmiths can help deal with combination locks on briefcases etc, which similarly are designed to keep the information on the inside secret.

A lock designed for privacy rather than for security is often quite different in nature. For starters a lock designed mostly for privacy doesn't need to be quite as secure as one designed for security. Here the lock should act more as a deterrent than something that no lock pick can by pass. As such, padlocks are often fine for sealing shut small gates and cases, which involve fewer smaller pins that are easier for a locksmith to deal with. Small 'church keys' are also often used on cupboard doors etc, which only provide a certain number of possible variations meaning that it would not be suitable for a front door.
