If we believe upon archeological facts then we find that far back in time, probably Egyptians were the first civilization who understood the need of vaults. More sophisticated locking system was called warded locks. It was introduced by ancient Romans. It was equipped with exclusively designed grooves and notches. Later on, lock technology in form of combination lock was advanced in India, china and Russia. Specialists also believe that these regions are origin of combination lock technology.
Banks have always demanded unique security services. In the beginning in United States, they were relying upon small iron safes exclusively fitted along with the key lock up. But, situation changed after the gold rush in 1849. During this time period, unsuccessful prospectors indulged into robbery. They were using hammer & pickaxe. These safes were small in size. So, robbers easily get them out through windows. Hence, safes were modified and were heavier and larger now. But, key lock was still quite easy to break. Robbers soon learnt to blast off the door with the help of explosive. Hence, in the year 1861, Linus Yale Jr. introduced all new modern idea of combination locking.
Combination lock gradually became tougher to unlock. It was combined with the timer and hence, it could be opened only after the fix number of hours or time. Thus, robbers’ formulae of kidnap bank employees and force them to unlock could not work. Similarly, many more advancements were done and still we strive to find ultimate safety measures.
