Denver 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 large selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and released 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 is deadlocked from outside with a simple key turn. 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 simple key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock people indoors.
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.

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 systems. This allows users access to secure areas without needing to distribute keys. A wide range of different types of locks and applications are available. Locksmiths can help with selecting the most cost effective and secure locking systems to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by installing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or commercial property which is not protected by a secure home alarm system. Also, government statistics show that the majority of attempted break ins carried out on secure properties are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an effective form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a decent locksmith can service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, the master key is usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Key – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are often 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 difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
