Havre 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 selection of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a simple key turn. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a revolutionary 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 very popular for access control systems. This gives users access to secure areas without needing to distribute keys. A wide range of different lock types and applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with selecting the most cost effective and secure lock to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by installing a residential alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a house or business which is NOT protected by an alarm system. Also, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of robberies done on secure homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are an excellent form of home security and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Key types a good locksmith should be able to service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open multiple locks. In houses, for example, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Car Keys – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open access control locks which are commonly 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 they function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
