Alaska Locks
A locksmith can supply and install a wide selection 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 range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a simple key turn. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a simple 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 means that it is possible to lock people 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.

Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.
If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing a burglar alarm. Most criminals would rather target a residential property or office that is not protected by a residential alarm system. In addition, statistical data from the government shows that most robberies committed on protected homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are a successful form of home protection and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Types of keys a professional locksmith should be familiar with:
Master keys – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are commonly found in hotels and commercial properties.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way they operate. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
