Wheeling Locks

A locksmith can provide 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 selection of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate more 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 reverse key turn. You can hold the latch 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Models available now include stainless steel digital locks which are highly corrosion resistant.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by installing a secure home alarm system.

Makes of keys a locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for example, master keys are normally used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to being 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. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access control locks which are regularly found in hotels 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 difference is in the way they 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 lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
