Green Bay Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a large variety of locks, including:
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 operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and unlatched with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will include additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a simple turn of the key. 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.
Cylinder Mortice Lock – Includes deadlocks, sashlocks, knobsets, nightlatches, sliding and metal door locks, plus panel locks etc.
Padlocks – Includes a revolutionary product selector for brass bodied padlocks, lever, cylinder, discus, laminated and combination padlocks, plus padbars, hasps and staples etc.

Key types a well-trained locksmith should service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In homes, for example, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Key – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are commonly 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 they work. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock making 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 which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
