Overland Park Locks
A locksmith can supply and install a wide 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 large array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more 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 the 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 turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes an extraordinary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.

House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock making the levers to align 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 which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
