Medford 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 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 like 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 has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock yourself inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.

Types of keys a professional locksmith can service:

Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as being 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 little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access locks which are commonly 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 work. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align 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 permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
