Fontana Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large variety 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 from the inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will include more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the 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 the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.
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.

Makes of keys a good locksmith can service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Automotive Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels and businesses.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main 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 line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
