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 wide array of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will include 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 operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a simple key turn. The latch can be held 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.
