Rock Hill Locks

A locksmith can supply 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 wide array of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and unlatched with a key from the 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 – They can be opened from inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a reverse turn of the key. 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 simple deadlock function. A simple 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, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself indoors.
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.

Keyless Locks – Digital locks are very popular for access control systems. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of different lock types and applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with picking the most affordable and secure locking systems to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are extremely corrosion resistant.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by installing a burglar alarm. Most criminals would rather target a residential property or business which is NOT protected by an alarm system. Also, government statistics show that the majority of attempted break ins done on secure residences are actually unsuccessful. This proves that residential alarm systems are an excellent form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Makes of keys a good locksmith should service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. It 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 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 that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
