Non-Destructive Entry Techniques in Salisbury (and the Surrounding Areas)
Getting locked out of your home or business can be frustrating enough without the additional stress of potential damage to your door or lock. At Locksmith Salisbury, we specialise in Non-Destructive Entry (NDE) methods, carefully serving residents and businesses throughout Salisbury, Wilton, Amesbury, Downton, and nearby areas.
Understanding Non-Destructive Entry
Non-Destructive Entry involves opening your locks without causing damage, avoiding drilling or forced entry. We rely on advanced skills, specialist tools, and extensive experience to safely unlock doors, ensuring you don't face expensive repairs or replacements afterward.
For both homes and commercial premises, our priority is always to use NDE. If locks are heavily damaged or highly secure, we'll thoroughly explain other options before proceeding.
Common Non-Destructive Entry Techniques
The method chosen depends on your lock type and situation. Here’s a helpful overview of the techniques we regularly use:
Lock Picking
Lock picking uses specialist tools, like tension wrenches and lock picks, to align internal pins and open the lock.
- Pros: Leaves no damage, quick on standard locks.
- Cons: High-security locks often resist this method.
Bypassing
Bypassing manipulates lock mechanisms without affecting the internal pins, suitable for latch-based locks.
- Pros: Usually quicker than lock picking, excellent for basic locks.
- Cons: Ineffective against advanced security locks.
Impressioning
Impressioning creates a working key from a blank by carefully marking the lock's internal contact points.
- Pros: Completely non-destructive and ideal for older locks.
- Cons: Time-consuming and ineffective on high-security locks.
Manipulation of Handles and Mechanisms
Using external methods like latch slipping or mechanical manipulation for certain locks.
- Pros: Quick and completely non-destructive.
- Cons: Only works reliably on older or improperly installed locks.
