Lorain Locks
A locksmith can provide 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 large selection of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and let go 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 – They can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a simple turn of the key. The latch can be held 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock people inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes an extraordinary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Keyless Locks – Digital locks are increasingly popular for access control systems. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without the need to issue keys. A wide range of different lock types and lock applications are available. A locksmith can help with choosing the most affordable and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.
If you really want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by installing an alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residence or business which is NOT protected by a residential alarm system. Also, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of attempted break ins done on secure properties are unsucessful. This proves that secure home alarms are a successful form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a professional locksmith can service:
Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Automotive Keys – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to serving as 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. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access control locks which are often found in hotels and commercial buildings.
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 operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align 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.
