Laramie Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a wide selection 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 large range of security 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-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 controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the 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 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 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 an extraordinary 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 have a higher level of corrosion resistance.

If you really want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a residence or commercial property that is NOT protected by a residential alarm system. Also, statistical data from the government shows that the majority of burglaries carried out on protected residences are unsucessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an effective form of protection and a an excellent way to prevent home break ins.

Types of keys a professional locksmith should be familiar with:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open multiple locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are normally used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type 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 access control locks which are often found in motels and commercial offices.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys elevate 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 enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
