Vermont Locks
A locksmith can provide and install a wide 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 range of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will include additional 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 is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. 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 easy deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.
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.

Keyless Locks – Digital locks are extremely popular for access control systems. This gives authorized users access to secure areas without needing to distribute keys. A wide range of varied types of locks and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with picking the most cost effective and secure locking systems to suit your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.
If you really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by implementing an alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a home or commercial property which is not protected by a residential alarm system. Furthermore, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of robberies committed on secure properties are unsucessful. This proves that alarm systems are an effective form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Makes of keys a locksmith should service:
Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Key – automotive keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – 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 Card – 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 hotels and commercial offices.
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 function. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock making the levers to line up 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 thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
