Bethesda Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a wide 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 array of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate 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 controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a simple turn of the key. 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 simple 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 means that it is possible to lock people indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes an extraordinary 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 have a higher level of corrosion resistance.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residence or commercial property which is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. Also, statistical data from the government shows that most attempted burglaries committed on secure homes are unsucessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an effective form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a locksmith can service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Automotive Keys – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are regularly 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 they function. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock allowing 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 which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
