Anderson Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large variety 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 large array of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate 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 operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a simple key turn. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes easy-to-use product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by implementing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a residence or business which is not protected by a residential alarm system.

Key types a professional locksmith should service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open multiple locks. In houses, for example, the master key is usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Key – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open access control locks which are often found in motels and commercial buildings.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
