Hilton Head Island Locks
A locksmith can supply and install a large variety 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 array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will include 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 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 using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock people inside.
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.
Cabinet and Camlocks- Includes cupboard locks, filing cabinet locks, camlocks and accessories, locker locks, box locks, till locks 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 increasingly popular for access control. This allows users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of varied lock types and applications are available. A locksmith can help with picking the most cost effective and secure locking systems to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.
If you want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by implementing a secure home alarm system. Most criminals would rather target a home or commercial property that is NOT protected by an alarm system. Furthermore, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of burglaries carried out on secure residences are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are an excellent form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Key types a locksmith should be able to service:
Master Key – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for example, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to function in this way.
Car Key – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are often found in motels 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 they operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
