Sacramento Locks

A locksmith can supply 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 the outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more 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 controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a reverse turn of the key. 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 basic deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes an extraordinary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.
Cabinet and Camlocks- Includes cupboard locks, filing cabinet locks, camlocks and accessories, locker locks, box locks, till locks etc.
Door and Window – Includes metal/wooden window locks, door chains and bolts, multiple application locks, merchandisers etc.
Miscellaneous – includes bullet & shutter locks, parking posts, wheel clamps, gun cabinet locks, sae locks, vehicle locks, garage door handles etc.
Keyless Locks – Digital locks are very popular for access control. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of different types of locks and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can help with choosing the most cost effective and secure locking systems to suit your requirements.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by installing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or commercial property which is not protected by an alarm system. Plus, statistical data from the government shows that most attempted burglaries committed on protected homes are unsucessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are an effective form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open access control locks which are often found in hotels 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 main difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up 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 thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
