Barre 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 range of security 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-line models will include more functions like 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 outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held 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 crude deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes an extraordinary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.
Cabinet and Camlocks- Includes cupboard locks, filing cabinet locks, camlocks and accessories, locker locks, box locks, till locks etc.
Door and Window – Includes metal/wooden window locks, door chains and bolts, multiple application locks, merchandisers etc.
Miscellaneous – includes bullet & shutter locks, parking posts, wheel clamps, gun cabinet locks, sae locks, vehicle locks, garage door handles etc.
Keyless Locks – Digital locks are extremely popular for access control systems. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without the need to distribute keys. A range of different types of locks and applications are available. Locksmiths can assist you with choosing the most affordable and secure lock 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 your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residential property or commercial property which is NOT protected by a burglar alarm. Furthermore, statistical data from the government shows that most attempted break ins committed on protected properties are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are a great form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Makes of keys a well-trained 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 usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – Car keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key for the vehicle 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 little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial properties.
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 these keys operate. 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 that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
