Salem 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 range of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate additional functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a simple key turn. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself indoors.
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.

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 extremely popular for access control. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without the need to issue keys. A wide range of different lock types and applications are available. Locksmiths can help with picking the most cost effective and secure lock to meet 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 increase protection of your house by implementing a residential alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a residence or commercial property that is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. Also, government statistics show that the majority of attempted burglaries done on protected homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an excellent form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a decent locksmith should be familiar with:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to function in this way.
Car Key – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial buildings.
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 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 that permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
