數千年來，
鎖具廣泛的使用
在日常生活中，其發展始於人
們在心理上對個人、群體、或
群體中之個人在安全上的實際
需求。隨著社會的變遷與科技
的進步，鎖具的功能愈加完備，
不僅設計形式日新月異，且其
製作精度也逐漸提高；此外，
鎖具的應用範圍，也由往昔僅
用於鎖門、鎖櫃、鎖箱，進而
擴展到今日的鎖辦公桌、鎖保
險櫃、鎖各型車輛、…等。然
而，當人們在使用鎖具時，往
往不在意鎖具的由來，更不知
古鎖的典雅優美，以及其所富
含的歷史意義與藝術價值。
Locks have been widely used in our
daily life in the past thousands of
years.
The development of locks
arises psychologically from practical
needs on safety for individuals, for
groups, or for individuals within
groups. Following the progressive
development of the society and the
technology, the function of locks
is getting complete. Not only the
design of locks is greatly improved,
but also the manufacturing of locks
is more precise. Furthermore, the
usage of locks has been extended
f rom door s , ches t s , and boxes
to desks, safes, vehicles, … etc.
However, when one is enjoying
us ing the conveni ent and safe
locks, he habitually neglects the
development and history of locks.
He usually pays no attention to the
beauty of ancient locks. And, he
normally ignores the artistic values
of ancient locks.
