The Uses Of A Tension Load Tool

By Lela Perkins


A tension load tool is usually used in locksmith shop for lock picking services. It is used to pick out locks that are worn or maybe destroyed in time. There are also many equipment that can be used together with it. Also, proper knowledge about some things would also help you know more about your task.

Lock picking can be considered a skill or an art of unlocking and opening different devices such as locks. This is done by simply playing around with the parts and components of a specific device when the original key is not available. The right way to do this is not to ruin the interior of the device so that it could still be opened with the use of a key. This can also be related to criminal acts and incidents. Thus, all locksmiths should use their skills in a right and proper way.

For some situations, gaining access would come so easy. They often use equipment such as drill, bolt cutters, a bump key or a hydraulic jack. The weakest part of the device would certainly be the keyhole that is why some security items such as safes do not use the normal padlocks. To further heighten the security, locks are often used together with alarms.

Incorrect force is one of the most common causes of lock picking failures. By using the right tool and a little practice about lock picking, you would become greatly improved. It is because such will provide you with ways of selecting proper tension time after time. This is often designed for regular house cylinders and is often made from aluminum and brass.

This is used by simply holding the tool in the device. It would then be attached to a door or some other unmovable parts so that one could apply force. There are markers that would serve as indicators to tell you how far you are stretching the spring inside it before you could actually apply tension.

This is proven to work effectively when you have a confined space. This is because it tensions the upper and bottom part of a certain plug at a time thus giving you a centralized rotation. This is perfectly suited if you wish to try to rake a lock open for the tension will become even and will keep it light.

However, there are several locks that are somehow difficult to pick. These are sometimes designed for restricted access. If a cylinder is already worn and seems to be badly made, normal tensioning would only bind it and therefore it would be impossible to pick it.

There are online sites and some legitimate stores that sell these tools. This often comes as a set. It includes some other picks, a torsion wrench and a single snake rake.

Some countries even control the possession of this tension load tool. There are laws about it that vary from state to state. Possession of such is considered equivalent of having a crowbar which are used by burglars in committing crimes. Illegal possession of such is generally prosecuted and has some penalties and fines. For some states, only those businesses and establishments that deal about keys and locks are permitted to own one.
