Michigan Locks
A locksmith can supply and install a wide variety 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 array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and let go 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 – It can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch 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 easy deadlock function. A simple turn of the key 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 inside, but also makes it possible to lock someone 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 increasingly popular for access control. This gives users access to secure areas without the need to distribute keys. A wide range of varied types of locks and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can help with picking the most affordable and secure locking systems to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which have a higher level of corrosion resistance.
If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by installing an alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residence or office which is NOT protected by a residential alarm system. Plus, statistical data from the government shows that most robberies done on secure homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are a great form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a good locksmith should be able to service:
Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Car Key – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to being the ignition key of the automobile 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 minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are regularly found in motels and commercial offices.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: 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 which allows the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
