Boston Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a wide variety 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 selection of security features. 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 include more 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 the outside with a reverse turn of the key. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters 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 revolutionary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

A range of varied lock types and applications are available. A locksmith can help with selecting the most affordable and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by installing an alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residence or office that is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. In addition, statistical data from the government shows that most attempted break ins done on secure residences are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an effective form of home protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a well-trained locksmith should be able to service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access locks which are regularly found in hotels 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 difference is in the way they function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing 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 allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
