Germantown Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 wide selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and let go with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range 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 the inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held 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 simple deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by installing a secure home alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a home or commercial property which is NOT protected by an alarm system.

Car Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are regularly found in motels and businesses.
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 these keys work.

Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
