Fremont Locks

A locksmith can supply 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 wide array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and unlatched with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional functions such as 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 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 the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by implementing an alarm system.

Key makes a good locksmith should service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys are unable to function in this way.
Car Key – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open acess locks which are often found in motels 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 align 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 enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
