A locksmith can supply and install a large selection of locks, including:
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 from inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line 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 operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the 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 simple deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.

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

Key types a locksmith can service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for example, master keys are almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Car Keys – Car keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the vehicle 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 little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial properties.
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 they function. 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 align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
