16th Century Danner’s Breaking Screw LocksmithTool

 

 

 

Leonhard Danner of Nuremberg was a Sixteenth-Century Nuremberger engineer/inventor. Nuremberger (Nürnberg) was the leading metalworking centre of Europe.

Danner was renowned for inventing and manufacturing instruments which could demolish strong Medieval Moorish castle walls, gadgets for breaking through locks and metal bars as well as creating lifting machinery for heavy artillery. At the same time, he was also producing delicate artistic works.

The Danner screw device or “Dannscher Brechschrauber” which could destroy locks came from his workshop around 1560 and the operation of the vicelike tool was as simple as it was effective. The machine’s lawless efficiency and capacity to enable criminal behaviour was quickly recognized by the Nuremberg City Council and they issued a decree banning it from January 16, 1561. Anyone requesting such an apparatus should be reported to the reigning mayor and instructions for manufacturing them were restricted. This did not prevent more of these ‘Dannscher Brechschrauber’ being manufactured.

Medieval Locksmith Tools: 

“Die Brechschraube bestand aus zwei Haken, die unter die Schlossdecke geklemmt werden konnten, und einer Gewindestange, die es wirklich kinderleicht machte, das Schloss von der Tür zu reißen.”

“Danner’s breaking screw consisted of two hooks, which could be stuck under the lock cover, and a thread bar, which made it really simple, to break the lock of the door.”

As a consequence of this invention, locksmiths developed far better and secure locks and other locksmiths, criminals, etc. invented methods to defeat these new locks.

‘Your children could have died’: Vancouver officer scolds woman for leaving kids in hot car

July 15, 2017 By

Always call 911 if you see a pet or person in a locked hot car alone, even if you don’t think it’s hot. 

 

https://www.facebook.com/manninder.bains/videos/10154809050166313/

A mother scolded by a police sergeant for leaving her two young children in a sweltering SUV while she shopped for groceries in Vancouver won’t face charges, but the case has been turned over to children’s services.

A video of the visibly upset officer yelling at the woman as she stood beside her Lexus in a parking lot surfaced online Thursday.

“You don’t seem to understand the danger you put your children in,” he said to the woman as she stood with her arms crossed. “The windows were up – it’s hot out. Your children could have died.”

The cop can be heard telling the woman that a fire truck, an ambulance, and two police cars were called to the scene as a result of her actions. The officer also threatened to have the woman’s kids taken into protective custody after she appeared to argue with him.

“You don’t seem to understand what you’ve done,” he said before adding later, “What kind of parent are you?”

Vancouver police Chief Adam Palmer told reporters Friday that the woman will not face charges but that the children’s ministry has been contacted. The children, a girl, 6, and a three-and-a-half-year-old boy, were left unattended for about 20 minutes while the mother shopped for groceries Monday afternoon, Palmer said.

Palmer said police received multiple 911 calls from citizens concerned about two children in distress left in a hot car. They arrived to find the car alarm going off.

The chief said the sergeant in the video is highly respected and has children of his own.

“He was trying to convey to that woman the seriousness of what she’d done with her children.”

In Edmonton, police announced a mother was charged after her baby had to be rescued from a hot car.

Police managed to get the eight-month-old girl out of the vehicle and she was sent to the hospital for treatment.

It was believed the infant was in the car for about 45 minutes on Thursday night. Her mother, 22, who told police she forgot the baby in the vehicle while meeting a friend for coffee, is charged with causing a child to be in need of intervention.

The inside of a previously air conditioned vehicle can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius in as little as 20 minutes of sitting in the summer sun, according to the Canada Safety Council. That’s well above the temperature for heat stroke.

Although there are no national statistics available in Canada, the U.S. reports that an average of 37 children die every year in hot cars, with the majority of them being under the age of three.

Vancouver police also cautioned pet owners against leaving their furry friends unattended inside parked vehicles after they were forced to break into a car to rescue a dog at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park earlier this week.

“Our message is don’t leave your pets or your kids in your vehicle when the weather is so hot,” Const. Anne-Marie Clark told CTV Vancouver. “Children should go without saying. Please take your children with you. Don’t leave them in the car. It’s too hot for everyone, pets or people.”

Honda Civic Key Will Not Turn or Ignition Jammed: Problems with Sidewinder Key | Mr. Locksmith Automotive Video.

Honda Civic Key Will Not Turn or Ignition Jammed: Problems with Sidewinder Key | Mr. Locksmith Automotive. Go tohttp://www.mrlocksmithautomotive.com to learn more.
Starting in 2002 to present Honda upgraded to a High Security Sidewinder or Laser key with a transponder or chip key for ignition, door and truck lockss. The locks use wafers and split wafers and are vulnerable to wear and breakage resulting in lock malfunction.

Does your Hondas ignition have one or more of the following problems:

– Difficulty in turning the key in the ignition

– Sticking ignition.

– Key is dirty after removing or turning

– Unable to remove the key

– Key locked in a position

– Key will no longer turn the ignition, key stuck in ignition, key stuck in door lock.

Honda models that are also at risk of ignition and door lock problems are as follows: Honda Civic, Honda Pilot, Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, CRV and Honda Element.

If you have a malfunctioning ignition you do not need to replace the steering column or entire ignition, the lock can be removed, rekeyed to match your existing key and the lock modified by Mr. Locksmith Automotive to prevent future similar problems. Also, the Automotive Locksmith can duplicate and program additional keys and remotes onsite.

In conclusion, Honda ignition and door lock problems are vulnerable to the key sticking and the ignition jamming. At Mr. Locksmith we see this problem on a daily basis. Save yourself from expensive dealer replacement parts and avoid the hassle and expense of towing. Furthermore, we will match the locks to your existing key so you still will only need one key to open and start your car and we can duplicate and program spare keys and remotes that will open and start your car.
