Laconia Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 range of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will include 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 controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. 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 simple deadlock function. A simple turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a 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 have a higher level of corrosion resistance.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by installing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residential property or business that is NOT protected by a secure home alarm system. Furthermore, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of robberies done on protected properties are unsucessful. This proves that alarm systems are a great form of security and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Types of keys a locksmith should be able to service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for example, master keys are almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are often 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 these keys work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock making the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
