Springfield Locks
A locksmith can supply 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 range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and unlatched 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 – It can be opened from inside by operating 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 this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A simple key turn should 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 means that it is possible to lock people indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes easy-to-use product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

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 increase protection of your house by implementing an alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a home or office that is not protected by an alarm system.

Key types a professional locksmith should be able to service:
Master keys – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In homes, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are regularly found in motels 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 they operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up 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.
