Hendersonville Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened 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 – It 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 using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock people inside.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm.

Types of keys a decent locksmith can service:

Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access locks which are often 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 difference is in the way they work. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up and shift 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 which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
