Chesterfield 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 large range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more functions such as 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 is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held 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 key turn 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 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.

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 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 choosing the most cost effective and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by implementing a burglar alarm. Most criminals would rather target a residence or commercial property which is NOT protected by an alarm system. In addition, statistical data from the government shows that most robberies carried out on secure homes are unsucessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are an effective form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Makes of keys a decent locksmith can service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open multiple locks. In houses, for example, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Key – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are often found in hotels 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 these keys function. 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.
