Wilmington Locks
A locksmith can provide and install a large variety 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 large array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will include additional functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They 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 this can be disabled by using 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 inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.

Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels 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 difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing 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 thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
