一般而言，簧片鎖需鑰匙
才能開啟；而組合鎖則不需鑰
匙，只要將轉輪上之文字旋至
正確的位置，即可開啟。
簧片鎖的設計，是利用簡
單之原理構思出巧妙的開啟方
式，可分為以下四個步驟：找
到鑰匙孔的位置，將鑰匙插入
鑰匙孔，將鑰匙置於開鎖的位
置，將鎖具打開。對於一些特
殊的設計而言，如何找到鑰匙
孔的位置，是一種挑戰；而找
到鑰匙孔的位置之後，如何將
鑰匙插入鑰匙孔，是一門學問；
再者，就算得以進入鑰匙孔，
也要懂得如何轉折，才能將鎖
具打開。
Generally speaking, splitting
spring locks take keys to open while
letter-combination locks can be open
without a key.
The principle of designing
ancient Chinese splitting spring
padlocks is simple. However, the
opening mechanism is sometimes
ingenious. It normally includes
the following four steps: find out
the keyhole, insert the key into
the keyhole, move the key to the
final position, and open the lock.
For some special designs, it is a
challenging work to find the keyhole,
it is difficult to insert the key into
the keyhole, and it is sometimes not
even easy to move the key to the
right final position for opening the
locks.
