San Bernardino Locks

A locksmith can supply 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 array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and unlatched with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional 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 controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. You can hold the latch 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 key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, 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 a revolutionary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Keyless Locks – Digital locks are increasingly popular for access control systems. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without needing to distribute keys.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by installing a burglar alarm.

Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access locks which are regularly found in hotels and commercial offices.
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 they work. 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 which enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
