A locksmith can provide and install a wide 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 wide range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will include more 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 outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A simple turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock people 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.

Keyless Locks – Digital locks are increasingly popular for access control systems. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of varied lock types and applications are available. Locksmiths can help with picking the most cost effective and secure lock to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by implementing 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. Also, statistical data from the government shows that most attempted burglaries committed on protected homes are unsucessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an effective form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a professional locksmith can service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind 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 an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are regularly found in hotels and businesses.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock making the levers to line up 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 which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
