A locksmith can provide and install a wide 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 wide range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a simple 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock people indoors.

Key makes a locksmith can service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for example, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Key – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access locks which are regularly found in motels 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 main difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
