Seward Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large selection of locks, including:
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 inside and let go 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 – It can be opened from 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 the snib button on the inside as a simple deadlock function. A simple key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock people indoors.

Padlocks – Includes easy-to-use product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Key types a decent locksmith should service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for example, master keys are normally used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the vehicle 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 cards – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are regularly found in motels and commercial properties.
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 these keys function. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and move 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 permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
