A locksmith can supply and install a wide variety of locks, such as:

The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it is 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 the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock yourself inside.

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open multiple locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – vehicle 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 kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are commonly found in motels 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 difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys raise 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 that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
