Locks have been around for thousands of years. One of the early locks is 4,000 years old and found in the ruins of a palace outside of Nineveh. In 1778 Robert Barron invented the double acting tumbler lock and Joseph Bramah invented a better lock in 1784. His list of inventions are vast. James Sargent in 1857 invented the 1st key changeable combination lock.
