High Security Mechanical Locks - An Encyclopedic Reference

High-Security Mechanical Locks comprehensively surveys and explains the highly technical area of high security locks in a way that is accessible to a wide audience.

Well over 100 different locks are presented, organized into 6 basic types. Each chapter introduces the necessary concepts in a historical perspective and further categorizes the locks.

This is followed by detailed "how it works" descriptions with many pictures, diagrams and references.

The descriptions are based on actual dissections of the real locks. The scope is limited to key operated mechanical locks, thus keyless combination locks and digital locks are not covered.

The book does not deal with routine locksmithing topics such as installation and servicing of locks. The sensitive area of picking and bypassing of locks is dealt with only at a high level without giving detailed information that would be unacceptable in the wrong hands!

Rafael,

Thanks for trying. :) I would enjoy reading this also. Would you try uploading it again and give it another name (rapidshare would not know what it is by its name) or file extension and password protect?

Rafael,
In order to re-upload that file after involuntary deletion, and consequent "blacklisting" by rapidshare.com based on its hash, size, and its file-name, you will need to change its size AND name. This can easily be done by enclosing it inside a ZIP or RAR archive. And if the result is blacklisted again, you can change its size and hash by inserting a small text file as a "packer" inside the ZIP or RAR archive, with another change to the file-name.

P.S. by googling with this search string:
"High Security Mechanical Locks" PDF OR ZIP OR RAR ,
I found hundreds of alternative sources of this title as a 18 Mb PDF, including one such ZIP archive of it on rapidshare, at http://totme.com/categories/ebooks/HighSecurity_Mechanical_Locks_08061422342940687616 52672a.html :
