Washington 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 selection of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from 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 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 simple deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock yourself indoors.

Types of keys a professional locksmith should be familiar with:
Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for example, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial offices.
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 function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing 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 that permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
