Independence Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a large selection 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 operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and unlatched with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from the 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a 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 want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by implementing an alarm system.

This proves that secure home alarms are an effective form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.
