Newport Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a wide selection of locks, such as:

The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line 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 controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a simple key turn. You can hold the latch 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should 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 inside.

Types of keys a good locksmith should be familiar with:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of 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 do that.
Car Key – Car keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal 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 commonly found in hotels and commercial offices.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
