Oliver Grant
Oliver Grant has over a decade of experience working with high-security mechanical locks across commercial and industrial environments. His background includes servicing disc detainer systems, heavy-duty padlocks, and restricted key systems where reliability is critical.
Oliver focuses on mechanical simplicity, long-term durability, and why traditional designs continue to outperform newer alternatives in harsh conditions.
Hannah Reeves
Hannah Reeves specialises in the intersection between traditional locksmithing and modern access control systems. With experience evaluating smart locks and hybrid systems, she focuses on real-world reliability rather than marketing claims.
Her writing explores where technology genuinely improves security, and where it introduces new points of failure.
Marcus Feld
Marcus Feld has worked extensively with automotive and cabinet locking systems, with particular interest in wafer-based mechanisms and mass-produced lock designs.
He writes about cost-driven security decisions, layered protection strategies, and the practical limitations of low-cost locking solutions.
Daniel Moore
Daniel Moore’s background is rooted in traditional locksmithing practices, with hands-on experience servicing older mechanical locks and padlocks still in use today.
His work focuses on material strength, mechanical tolerances, and why conservative engineering choices often age better than modern redesigns.
Sophia Lin
Sophia Lin studies emerging lock technologies and materials, with a focus on innovations that improve security without sacrificing mechanical integrity.
She covers developments such as advanced sidebar mechanisms, modular cores, and modern manufacturing techniques that build on proven foundations.
