Edmond Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a wide selection 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 security 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-line models will include additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from 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 reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters 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 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.

Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm. Most criminals would rather target a home or business which is not protected by an alarm system. Plus, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of attempted break ins carried out on protected residences are actually unsuccessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are an effective form of home protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a well-trained locksmith should service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are often found in motels and businesses.
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 these keys operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows 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 thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
