Virginia Beach Locks

A locksmith can provide and install a wide variety 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 large selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and let go with a key from the 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 operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a simple key turn. The latch can be held 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock people inside.

Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open multiple locks. In homes, for example, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Key – vehicle keys are made to open car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are regularly found in motels 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 difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock making 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 thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
