Locksmithing began as the science and art of making and defeating locks; and is one of the earliest forms of security engineering. The oldest known lock was approximately 4,000 years old and was of Egyptian make. It was found in the ruins of the Emperor Sargon II's palace in Khorsabad and utilised the same pin tumbler principle employed by many modern locks. Historically, locksmiths actually made the entire lock, working for hours hand cutting screws and doing much file-work. Today, the rise of cheap mass production means that this is no longer true and the vast majority of locks are repaired by swapping parts, like-for-like replacement, or upgrading to more modern technology. CLASS Locksmiths have not been around for 4,000 years nor do we still hand make locks. However, trading as Complete Lock and Safe Services (C.L.A.S.S.), we have been providing expert locksmithing services to Canberra and its surrounds for 30+ years. Our locksmiths are fully qualified, SCEC approved, with appropriate security clearances for government work, and still pride themselves on their capability to carry out sophisticated repairs and renovation work while continuously upgrading their knowledge, skills and abilities, embracing and utilising new technologies and methods, and providing high quality, cost effective, value for money solutions.
