Peoria Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a wide 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 large range of security 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-range 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 the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from 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 easy deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself inside.

Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access locks which are commonly found in motels 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 work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and move 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 which enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
