Types of locks

[DainBramaged]

Locks may be entirely mechanical, or electromechanical (or digital, in which case they react with the speed of light). They may be operated by turning some form of removable key, by keying or dialling in a combination which directly or via electromechanical means operates the lock, with some form of magnetic or other card reader, or by moving a part on a safety lock intended to prevent accidental operation rather than to prevent unauthorized access, (or simply locking a thread or post before you can blink an eye or even getting the chance to apologize for not seeing a duplicate).

Dry but overcast here in Watford but cooler weather suits me this week. I'd spent the whole weekend dancing at Heps Cats Holiday in Weston-Super-Mare getting caned for 3 days by the sun in the daytime and cooked at the evening dances.
