Bartlett 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 security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will include additional 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 has been 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 this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a revolutionary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Automotive Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access control locks which are often found in motels and offices.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they function.
