Warded Lock – A ward obstructs movement, therefore, if the incorrect key is inserted, the ward will block it. However, if it is the correct key, you won’t have a problem gaining access. However, when the correct key is inserted, the bolt will move.
Lever Tumbler – Again, this blocks the movement of the key if the incorrect key is inserted into the lock

You may have used a fingerprint lock if you have visited a government building, university or hospital. This type of electronic lock is also known as a Biometric system.

Once the system recognizes your fingerprint, the lock will become disengaged. A fingerprint is unique and no two persons fingerprints are alike. This means there is no threat of duplication. Another popular electronic lock involves the installation of a keypad. Once the keypad is installed, a code of your choice is then programmed into the system. When you input the correct code the lock will become disengaged. They generally sue an internal motor or a magnet to engage or disengage the locking mechanism.
