Connecticut Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large selection 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 outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more functions like 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 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 using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse 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 inside lever, but also means that it is 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.
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 allows users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of different lock types and applications are available. A locksmith can assist you with selecting the most cost effective and secure locking systems to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which have a higher level of corrosion resistance.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residential property or commercial property which is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. Plus, government statistics show that most robberies committed on protected residences are unsucessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are an effective form of home security and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Key types a decent locksmith can service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access 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 making the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
