Quincy 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 operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from 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 easy deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops 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 product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.
Cabinet and Camlocks- Includes cupboard locks, filing cabinet locks, camlocks and accessories, locker locks, box locks, till locks etc.
Door and Window – Includes metal/wooden window locks, door chains and bolts, multiple application locks, merchandisers etc.
Miscellaneous – includes bullet & shutter locks, parking posts, wheel clamps, gun cabinet locks, sae locks, vehicle locks, garage door handles etc.
Keyless Locks – Digital locks are extremely popular for access control systems. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of different lock types and lock applications are available. A locksmith can assist you with choosing the most cost effective 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 improve your home protection by implementing a residential alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a house or commercial property which is not protected by an alarm system. In addition, government statistics show that most attempted break ins done on secure properties are actually unsuccessful. This proves that secure home alarms are a great form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a professional locksmith should service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open multiple locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Key – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can 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. It is used to open access control locks which are commonly found in hotels 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 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 align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
