Hoover Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large 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 large selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch 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 simple turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock yourself indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a revolutionary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples 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 very popular for access control. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without the need to distribute keys. A wide range of varied lock types and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with picking the most cost effective and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by installing a secure home alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a home or business that is NOT protected by a residential alarm system. Also, statistical data from the government shows that most robberies carried out on protected residences are unsucessful. This proves that secure home alarms are a great form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a well-trained locksmith should service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are normally used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to being the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are commonly found in hotels and offices.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock making the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
