Tri-Ad® Lock The blade is shouldered around the stop pin for increased resistance to wear and tear. The stop pin buffers against, and redistributes the force pressure from the blade.

Look at what makes up. This really really strong triad lock now first there is a crescent cutout in the blade tang that seats with the stop pin. For more support and increased resistance to wear and

Now inside the knife we'll take a quick look at the actual lock mechanism. So you can see it is a spring-loaded steel bar that slides on pins.

How Strong is a Button Lock? A button lock mechanism is as strong as the knife's frame. Because the button lock's spring rests on a cutout in the blade's frame, tension is created when the tang of the knife pushes against the button, which is embedded into the frame.

In almost every frame lock, a detent ball engages with a hole in the base of the blade to keep it closed, as well as providing tension for a snappy opening. A stop pin mounted above and forward of the pivot locates the blade's end position when opened, also helping to eliminate wear on the lock bar.

What is the strongest lock? one of the world's most protected locks with an elastic opposition of more than six tons. Granit locks have a pliable opposition of more than six tons, making it remarkably difficult for assailants to let the shackle out of the lock body forcibly.

The Shark-Lock™ is known for holding its weight against some of the strongest locking mechanisms on the market. The AD20. 5 has been tested to 875-inch pounds of torque, making it extremely impressive for a 3.5 oz. knife.

As mentioned above, electronic door locks are activated by a current, so access is controlled by an electrical impulse. Depending on the electric lock chosen, it can be triggered by a key fob, a key card or by typing in an access code.

Like any other door lock, digital locks also use a latch or a bolt, which runs from the door and the doorframe to prevent access. However, these locks use an electronic or battery-operated system to control the bolt where the motor in these digital locks requires an electronic impulse.

Cold Steel fixed knives, daggers, and blades have a reputation throughout the world for being strong, sharp and extremely reliable when put to hard use.
