A locksmith can provide and install a large 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 large selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and unlatched with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional functions like 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 is deadlocked from 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 easy deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.

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 improve your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residence or office which is NOT protected by a burglar alarm.

Makes of keys a decent locksmith should be familiar with:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In homes, for example, the master key is almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in motels 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 these keys function. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
