Bozeman Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a wide 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 at all times 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 – It can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it has been 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 it can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock yourself indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by installing a burglar alarm. Most criminals would rather target a home or office that is not protected by a burglar alarm. Also, government statistics show that most burglaries carried out on protected homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an effective form of security and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open multiple locks. In homes, for example, the master key is usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to being the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open acess locks which are often found in motels and commercial properties.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
