West Fargo Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a large 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 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 include more functions like 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 the outside with a simple key turn. 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 bolt and lever inside.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.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a revolutionary 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 increasingly popular for access control systems. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without the need to issue keys. A range of different types of locks and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with choosing the most affordable and secure lock to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by installing a residential alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residential property or commercial property which is NOT protected by a residential alarm system. In addition, government statistics show that the majority of attempted burglaries carried out on secure properties are unsucessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are a great form of home security and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Types of keys a locksmith should be able to service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Car Keys – Car keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are often 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 main difference is in the way these keys work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align 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 enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
