A locksmith can provide and install a large 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 security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will include more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. The latch can be held 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.

Makes of keys a professional locksmith should be able to service:

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 each other room key cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are made to open car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial offices.
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. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
