Nebraska Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a wide 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 wide range of operational 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-line models will incorporate additional 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 operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a reverse turn of the key. You can hold the latch 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 simple deadlock function. A simple turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by installing an alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residence or office which is NOT protected by a residential alarm system. In addition, government statistics show that the majority of robberies done on protected residences are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are an effective form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Car Key – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key for the car 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 with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are commonly 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 function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
