Louisiana Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 wide selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and unlatched 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 – They can be opened from the inside by operating 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 crude deadlock function. A simple turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, 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 a product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by installing a residential alarm system.

Key types a decent locksmith can service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for example, master keys are normally used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Car Key – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access control locks which are often found in hotels 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 these keys operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock making 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 permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
