Kenner Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It 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 will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock people inside.

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

This proves that alarm systems are a great form of home protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Makes of keys a good locksmith can service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key Card – 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 commonly found in motels and commercial properties.
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 they work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock making the levers to align and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
