Dover Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range 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 inside by controlling the lever unless it is 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 this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.
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 really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by installing a secure home alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or business that is NOT protected by a secure home alarm system. Furthermore, government statistics show that most robberies committed on protected homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are a great form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, the master key is almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to function in this way.
Car Key – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to serving as 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. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are regularly found in motels and offices.
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 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 that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
