Derry Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a large selection 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 from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. 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 simple turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes an extraordinary 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 are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by implementing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a residence or office that is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. Plus, government statistics show that the majority of attempted burglaries committed on protected homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are an effective form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key makes a good locksmith should service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Car Key – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. It is used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels and 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 these keys work. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing 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 that permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
