New Jersey Locks
A locksmith can supply and install a wide 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 large array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more 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 controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from 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 using the snib button on the inside as a simple deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.

Vehicle Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are regularly found in hotels and commercial buildings.
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 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 line up 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.
