Fargo Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large 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 large range of security 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 include additional 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 simple turn of the key. 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself 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.
Cabinet and Camlocks- Includes cupboard locks, filing cabinet locks, camlocks and accessories, locker locks, box locks, till locks etc.
Door and Window – Includes metal/wooden window locks, door chains and bolts, multiple application locks, merchandisers etc.
Miscellaneous – includes bullet & shutter locks, parking posts, wheel clamps, gun cabinet locks, sae locks, vehicle locks, garage door handles etc.
Keyless Locks – Digital locks are extremely popular for access control systems. This gives users access to secure areas without the need to distribute keys. A wide range of varied lock types and applications are available. A locksmith can help with picking the most cost effective and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which have a higher level of corrosion resistance.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a home or office that is NOT protected by a secure home alarm system. Plus, government statistics show that the majority of burglaries carried out on secure homes are unsucessful. This proves that secure home alarms are a great form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a professional locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Car Keys – Car keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments in addition to serving as 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 cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open access control locks which are often found in motels and offices.
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 they function. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
