Olathe Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large variety 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 large array of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range 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 has been 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 this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock someone 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.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by implementing a secure home alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or office which is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. In addition, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of robberies done on protected residences are unsucessful. This proves that alarm systems are an excellent form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should be able to service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, the master key is usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. It is 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 operate. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align 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 allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
