Waterville Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a wide 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 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 the outside. Top-of-the-line models will include additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a reverse 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 should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock people 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.
Cabinet and Camlocks- Includes cupboard locks, filing cabinet locks, camlocks and accessories, locker locks, box locks, till locks etc.
Door and Window – Includes metal/wooden window locks, door chains and bolts, multiple application locks, merchandisers etc.
Miscellaneous – includes bullet & shutter locks, parking posts, wheel clamps, gun cabinet locks, sae locks, vehicle locks, garage door handles etc.
Keyless Locks – Digital locks are increasingly popular for access control. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A wide range of different types of locks and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with choosing the most cost effective and secure lock to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a residential property or commercial property that is NOT protected by an alarm system. In addition, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of attempted burglaries carried out on secure homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are an excellent form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a good locksmith should service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open multiple locks. In homes, for example, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are used to open car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the car 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 Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are commonly found in hotels and offices.
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 work. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock making the levers to align 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 that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
