As long as there have been people, they have needed security; locks and keys are a part of human history. In fact, the earliest lock dates back to the ancient cultures of Assyria and Egypt. Things of value require protection and the lock is a time-honored provider of safety. A damaged lock or misplaced key, however, undermines the security of people, property and possessions, making them vulnerable or inaccessible. The good news is that locksmiths have been around nearly as long as locks have. The better news is that Twenty-Four Hours Locksmith stands ready around the clock to keep locks secure and functioning properly. Even better than that, our expertise with profile cylinder locks promises quick, quality service anywhere in Maryland, DC and Virginia.

Profile Cylinder Locks

A profile cylinder lock, or euro-lock, is made of pins of differing lengths that prevent the lock from opening without a perfectly corresponding key. The pins are housed in a cylinder for easy removal and replacement. The cylinder lock we utilize today was developed in 1861 by Linus Yale, Jr., who fashioned the small, flat, serrated key that is easily recognized everywhere.
