Locked up computers, tubular keys and Locksmiths

It's well known that during the computers boom of the 90s locksmiths made a business by securing computers with tubular keys. They had a safety mechanism that consisted of placing a tubular keyhole on the front of the CPU casing, this keyhole would activate a mechanism that would either lock or unlock the keyboard cord.

When locked no one could use the computer since the keyboard wouldn't work. When you opened it would work accordingly. This was pretty famous across America and Europe, and it was the first commercial data protection to have such penetration across America. Locksmiths like locksmith service Calabasas learned how to apply tubular and regular keys to computers to lock them and customers would be happy with their work. The only problem was that some tubular keys were really hard to overcome, making the computer useless unless a Master Locksmith would break the lock, pick it or make a whole new key with the codes.
