Lakewood 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 range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and unlatched with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will include 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 inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.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 yourself 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.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by installing an alarm system.

This proves that burglar alarms are an effective form of security and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open multiple locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are regularly found in motels and 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 operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align 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 which enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
