Buffalo Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 wide range of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and released 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 operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. You can hold the latch 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 stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock people indoors.
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.

Types of keys a locksmith should be able to service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are normally used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to being the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. Key cards are 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 operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and move 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 which enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
