West Virginia Locks
A locksmith can supply 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 wide range of security features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from inside and released 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 the inside by operating the lever unless it is 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 it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock yourself inside.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve protection of your house by installing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or office which is not protected by a residential alarm system. Furthermore, government statistics show that the majority of robberies done on protected properties are unsucessful. This proves that alarm systems are an excellent form of protection and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Types of keys a good locksmith should be able to service:
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 are unable to do that.
Car Key – Car keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are regularly 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 operate. Lever lock keys lift 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 which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
