Canton Locks
A locksmith can supply 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 selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A simple turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock people inside.

Key types a well-trained locksmith can service:
Master Key – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In homes, for example, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Car Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are often found in hotels and offices.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they work. 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 pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
