Marietta Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a wide 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 at all times from the inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from 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 this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a basic 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 releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock yourself indoors.
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.

Keyless Locks – Digital locks are increasingly popular for access control systems. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without the need to issue keys. A range of varied lock types and lock applications are available. A locksmith can help with choosing the most affordable and secure locking systems to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by installing a secure home alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a home or commercial property which is not protected by an alarm system. In addition, government statistics show that the majority of attempted burglaries done on secure homes are unsucessful. This proves that burglar alarms are a great form of home protection and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Types of keys a professional locksmith should be familiar with:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for example, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are made 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 type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open access control locks which are regularly 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 work. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
