Bessemer Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a wide variety of locks, such as:
Cylinder Rim Locks – Includes rim latches, cylinder drawback locks, cylinder nightlatches, APG locks, rim deadlocks, deadbolts and rollerbolts etc. Cylinder rim locks are available with a wide array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.
Cabinet and Camlocks- Includes cupboard locks, filing cabinet locks, camlocks and accessories, locker locks, box locks, till locks etc.
Door and Window – Includes metal/wooden window locks, door chains and bolts, multiple application locks, merchandisers etc.
Miscellaneous – includes bullet & shutter locks, parking posts, wheel clamps, gun cabinet locks, sae locks, vehicle locks, garage door handles etc.
Keyless Locks – Digital locks are extremely popular for access control systems. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without needing to distribute keys. A range of different types of locks and applications are available. A locksmith can help with selecting the most affordable and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which have a higher level of corrosion resistance.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a home or office that is NOT protected by a secure home alarm system. In addition, government statistics show that the majority of burglaries done on secure residences are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are an excellent form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a professional locksmith should be able to service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are regularly found in motels and commercial buildings.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way they operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
