Shawnee Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a large selection 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 range of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line 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 inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, 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.

Keyless Locks – Digital locks are very popular for access control systems. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of different types of locks and lock applications are available. A locksmith can assist you with selecting 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 really want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by installing a residential alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residential property or business that is not protected by an alarm system. Furthermore, government statistics show that the majority of attempted break ins done on protected properties are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are an excellent form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key of the car 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 cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are often 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 main difference is in the way they function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and shift 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.
