Lawrence 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 wide selection of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and unlatched with a key from the 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 the inside by controlling the lever unless it is 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 it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A simple key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself inside.
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 allows authorized users access to secure areas without needing to distribute keys. A range of different types of locks and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with picking the most cost effective and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residential property or business which is not protected by a residential alarm system. Furthermore, statistical data from the government shows that most burglaries carried out on secure homes are unsucessful. This proves that alarm systems are a successful form of home protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should 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 each other room key cannot function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are commonly found in motels and offices.
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 these keys operate. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and shift 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 allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
