Plymouth Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large variety 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 wide array 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 include additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it is 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 the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock yourself inside.

Makes of keys a locksmith can service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In homes, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind 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 regularly 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 difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up 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.
