The use of rigid borescopes to inspect locks of all types is a common procedure for skilled locksmiths and safe engineers. Viewing the internal mechanism of the lock provides valuable information to assist them in opening a lock or identifying a fault.
There are many types and ranges of locks in the world but the majority of systems are based on lever, pin tumbler or disc mechanisms. | Olympus Industrial has standard and special instruments available to obtain views inside the locks.
To gain access to safe locks, a 6mm rigid borescope can be used after drilling into the safe casing and door from the top, side or back.
Images can be viewed by eye or on a monitor screen via a CCTV camera connected to the instrument. RECOMMENDED SYSTEMS
