Development history of safe deposit box

The history of the safe can be traced back to the Middle Ages. In medieval paintings, you can occasionally see a wooden cabinet filled with gold, silver and jewels, which is the prototype of a modern safe. FICHE-BAUCHE, a famous French safe manufacturer, copied 65438+Louis 65438+ wooden safe in 05, which contained gold and silver jewelry. This safe looks like furniture and has no special lock, so its security is low.

Until the beginning of19th century 200 years ago, with the growth of social economy, the safe industry began to develop, and specialized lock manufacturers appeared in Europe. 18 18, the United Kingdom Chubb Company was established (nearly 200 years later, Chubb has become the leader in the safe industry).

In 825, the French company FICHE-BAUCHE was founded ... these manufacturers began to make safes.

The material of the safe has changed from wood to various solid metals, but it is basically based on the tenon joint technology of wood or integral casting, which is similar to the furniture at that time in appearance and technology, and the accuracy of the lock is not high.

An iron safe with a history of about 200 years looks like an ordinary two-door iron cabinet. Its door hinge is similar to the tenon position of wood, and its manufacturing technology is quite high. The development of safes in the United States is a little later than that in Europe, but the United States has also become a strong country in production safety.

1857 the famous s&; G (Sargent & ampGreenleaf) was founded in the United States and later became one of the most famous manufacturers of locks and safes in the world.

Standard & Poor's. G early products, with a history of about 130 years. At that time, the welding technology had not been developed, and the safe was riveted with socket nails, which was fierce and very safe.

19 The lock industry was underdeveloped in the late 1950s. Although the appearance of the safe was changing with each passing day, the accuracy and reliability of the lock did not develop greatly.

65438+At the end of 1960s, Americans invented the lock mechanism and multi-lock technology of safes, which greatly improved the safety performance of safes. After 1865, the early safes with locking mechanism and multi-pin design appeared.

19 At the end of the 20th century, Europeans developed a rotary password lock by using Swiss watch technology, which made a breakthrough in safe technology and greatly improved confidentiality and security.

The development of locks and safes complement each other. Until today, rotary coded locks are still widely used in the safe industry. Early rotary coded locks and safes using such locks (about 1900).

In the sixties and seventies, due to the rapid development of semiconductor technology, the industry developed electronic password locks, which were also widely used in various safe products. Later, LED and LCD digital displays were used in safes, and users' demand for fire protection also gave birth to various fire protection products. The development of fingerprint scanning and identification technology has promoted the application of fingerprint locks in safes, and the popularity of magnetic cards has spawned magnetic card safes ... and the products of safes have also developed from the simplest functions to anti-theft, fire prevention, anti-theft/fire prevention, anti-magnetism, home, business, hotels, firearms, documents/materials and so on.
