Mitchell Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a large selection 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 wide selection of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a simple key turn. 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 easy deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters 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 easy-to-use product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing a residential alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a home or office that is not protected by a residential alarm system. Plus, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of robberies done on secure homes are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are a great form of home protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a locksmith should be able to service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for example, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Keys – Car keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make 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 digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels and businesses.
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 elevate 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 permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
