Bloomington Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large 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 let go with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a simple turn of the key. 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes an extraordinary 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. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without the need to distribute keys. A range of different types of locks and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can help with picking the most cost effective 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 really want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or business which is NOT protected by an alarm system. Also, government statistics show that the majority of robberies committed on secure homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are an effective form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a good locksmith can service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial buildings.
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 these keys function. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align 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.
