Kent Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a large 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 array 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-range models will include 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 operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. 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 simple deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm.

Key types a decent locksmith should service:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, master keys are almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot function in this way.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments in addition to being the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers 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 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 they operate. Lever lock keys elevate 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 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.
