Clifton Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a large selection 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 the inside and let go with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate additional functions like 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 outside with a simple 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 simple deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.

Padlocks – Includes easy-to-use 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 highly corrosion resistant.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by implementing a secure home alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or commercial property that is not protected by a residential alarm system. Also, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of robberies carried out on protected properties are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an excellent form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a locksmith should service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In homes, for example, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Automotive Keys – automotive keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers 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 electronic access locks which are commonly found in hotels 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 these keys operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up 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.
