Waukesha 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 array of operational features. The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and let go with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-line models will incorporate 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 operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a simple deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock people indoors.

Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for example, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Car Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. The key card is 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 these keys function. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
