Indianapolis Locks

A locksmith can supply 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 selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and let go with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch 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 crude deadlock function. A simple key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a 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 increasingly popular for access control systems. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without the need to issue keys. A wide range of varied types of locks and applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with choosing the most affordable and secure lock to meet your requirements. 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 increase your home protection by implementing a secure home alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residence or office that is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. Furthermore, statistical data from the government shows that most attempted burglaries carried out on secure properties are unsucessful. This proves that alarm systems are an excellent form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a professional locksmith should be able to service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for example, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Car Key – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly 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 difference is in the way they operate. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up 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 that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
