Massachusetts Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large 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 selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and released with a key from 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 – They can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a simple turn of the key. The latch can be held 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock yourself indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a revolutionary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing a residential alarm system.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial buildings.
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 operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up 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 permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
