Eagan 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 security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more 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 has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself 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.

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 increase protection of your house by implementing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a residence or business that is not protected by an alarm system. In addition, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of burglaries carried out on protected properties are unsucessful. This proves that burglar alarms are a great form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a locksmith can service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for example, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are often found in hotels 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 operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and shift 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.
