Winooski Locks

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 selection of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from outside with a simple 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse 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 inside, 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 a revolutionary 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 increasingly popular for access control systems. This allows authorized users access to secure areas without needing to issue keys. A range of different lock types and lock applications are available. Locksmiths can help with selecting the most affordable and secure lock to meet your requirements. Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residential property or office which is not protected by a secure home alarm system. Furthermore, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of attempted burglaries committed on secure homes are unsucessful. This proves that secure home alarms are an effective form of home protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should be able to service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for example, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in hotels and commercial buildings.
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 which allows the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
