Pawtucket Locks

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 released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional 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 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 the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.

Padlocks – Includes easy-to-use product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Makes of keys a well-trained locksmith should be familiar with:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for example, the master key is usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access locks which are often found in motels and commercial properties.
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 they 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 line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
