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 security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it has been 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 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 prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock yourself inside.

Makes of keys a well-trained locksmith should be familiar with:
Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key of 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 little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are regularly found in hotels and commercial offices.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way they operate. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
