Travel sentry certified luggage lock

Neptune’s Staircase is a staircase lock comprising eight locks on the Caledonian Canal. It is the longest staircase lock in the United Kingdom, and lifts boats 64 feet (19.5 metres). The locks were originally hand-powered, but have been converted to hydraulic operation.
The base plinths of the original capstans are still present, although the capstans themselves are now gone.

The current lock gates weigh 22 tons each, and require a team of three lock-keepers (at minimum) to run the staircase.

It is usual for them to operate on an “Efficiency Basis”, that is the keepers try to either fill each cut with boats on the lift or drop, or to allow for passing, ie a dropping craft to pass a rising craft on the same fill/empty cycle.

It is one of the biggest staircases in Britain, and is kept by British Waterways.

It is located at Banavie, near Fort William just north of Loch Linnhe.

The structure was designed by Thomas Telford.

The Chubb Locks subsidiary of the Assa Abloy Group is a British manufacturer of high security locking systems for residential and commercial applications.

Chubb was started as a ship’s ironmonger by Charles Chubb in Winchester, England and then moved to Portsmouth, England in 1804.

Chubb moved the company into the locksmith business in 1818 in Wolverhampton. The company worked out of a number of premises in Wolverhampton including the purpose built factory on Railway Street now still known as the Chubb Building. His brother Jeremiah Chubb then joined the company and they sold Jeremiah’s patented detector lock

In 1823 the company was awarded a special license by George IV and later became the sole supplier of locks to the General Post Office and a supplier to His Majesty’s Prison Service.

In 1835 they received a patent for a burglar-resisting safe and opened a safe factory in London in 1837.

In 1851 they designed a special secure display case for the Koh-i-Noor diamond for its appearance at the Great Exhibition.

In 1984 the company was purchased by Racal, who sold it in 1997 to Williams Plc. In August 2000, they were sold to Assa Abloy.

The Abloy Disklock or Disc tumbler lock is a lock composed of slotted rotating detainer discs. A specially cut key rotates these discs like the tumblers of a safe to align the slots, allowing the sidebar to drop into the slots, thus opening the lock. Unlike a wafer tumbler lock or a pin tumbler lock, this mechanism does not use springs. From a security standpoint, the disc tumbler lock cannot be bumped.

The Berlin key is a very specific kind of key lock and is a distinctive feature of the city of Berlin, Germany. It particularity comes from its two key tips (the part which activate the bolt). After unlocking the lock, the key must be retrieved on the other side of the door to close this latter. Also called “Schließzwangschlüssel” or close constraint key in English. This key was actually designed to force people to lock their door (usually a front door or gate). The mechanism makes the retrieval of the key impossible once the bolt is unlocked, the door must be locked again in order to extract the key. With this type of key lock system, “locking” the door while the door is open is normally not possible.

Invented by the Berliner locksmith Johann Schweiger, the key was massively produced by the Albert Kerfin & Co company starting in 1912. Nowadays this kind of lock is disappearing but still is one of the typical object from Berlin.

In computer science, multiple granularity locking (MGL), sometimes called the John Rayner locking method, is a locking method used in database management systems (DBMS) and relational databases.

In MGL, locks are set on objects that contain other objects. MGL exploits the hierarchical nature of the contains relationship. For example, a database may have files, which contain pages, which further contain records. This can be thought of as a tree of objects, where each node contains its children. A lock locks a node and its descendants.

Multiple granularity locking is usually used with Non-strict two-phase locking to guarantee serializability. MGL uses lock escalation to determine granularity lock on a node and its ancestors.

Lock Modes

In addition to shared (S) locks and exclusive (X) locks from other locking schemes, like Strict two-phase locking, MGL also uses intention shared and intention exclusive locks. IS locks conflict with X locks, while IX locks conflict with S and X locks. The null lock (NL) is compatible with everything.

To lock a node in S (or X), MGL has the transaction locks all of its ancestors with IS (or IX), so if a transaction locks a node in S (or X), no other transaction can access its ancestors in X (or S and X).

MGL locking modes are compatible with each other as defined in the following matrix.
