Sandy Springs Locks

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 selection of operational 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 is 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 the snib button on the inside as a simple deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock people indoors.

Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which have a higher level of corrosion resistance.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by installing a burglar alarm. Most criminals would rather target a residence or commercial property which is NOT protected by a secure home alarm system. Also, statistical data from the government shows that most burglaries done on secure homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that secure home alarms are an excellent form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, master keys are almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Car Key – Car 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 automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open acess 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 difference is in the way they operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows 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 enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
Transponder Key
