Padlocks are remarkably useful items that can help to provide security in a wide variety of circumstances. In fact, padlocks have been around from the Roman era in Europe and seem to have been independently developed in ancient China, too. Most of the early padlocks in existence were made to operate with keys. If you want to get into an outbuilding or a shed that you have padlocked but for which you have lost the key, then calling on the services of a locksmith is the surest way of doing so without causing damage.
