A locksmith can supply and install a wide 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 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 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 operating 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 using the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key 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 yourself inside.

Key types a well-trained locksmith should be able to service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open access control locks which are regularly found in motels and commercial properties.
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 line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
