Alexandria Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 range of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate additional functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by operating 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 the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple key turn 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 someone inside.

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open multiple locks. In homes, for example, the master key is usually used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels and 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 these keys work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and shift 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 that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
