Various Kinds of Locks

There is an abundance of different kinds of locks, and we are going to narrow them down into different categories, for instance, deadbolts, padlocks, knobs, cam locks and mortise locks. It is important to know of the various kinds of locks to help secure a property. We are a mobile locksmith team that is skilled and adept in installing new locks, repairing existing locks, and replacing locks. We understand that there might be a desire for lock upgrades or there might be an urgent need for a lock replacement. Regardless of the reason, it is important to know there are various kinds of locks.

We are going to provide further detail on the different kinds of locks.

Door locks are so important because of the security and safety that they provide. When you want a barrier between your commercial property or residential property, or even your car, and the outside world, you are likely going to start with locks.

We are going to start with knob locks when describing the different types of locks. Knob locks are common and they use a lock cylinder in the knob rather than inside of the door. A knob lock could be easily manipulated which is why it would be better used on an interior door.

A deadbolt is a type of lock that offers additional security. A knob or key is turned to move a lock bolt, eliminating the need of a spring. There are different types of deadbolt locks, so within this category, there are options – single cylinder and double cylinder are two kinds of deadbolt locks. A single cylinder deadbolt lock is one that can be activated using a key on one side. On the other hand, a double cylinder deadbolt can use a key on both sides.

Cam locks are another common type of lock. These are often used as furniture locks, and for instance, as cabinet locks. They can be practically invisible in some cases depending on construction. A cam lock is cylindrical. Components include a metal tube with a hoe that enables the positioning of an inserted bolt.

Of course, there are also mortise locks. What is a mortise lock? This type of lock would be used appropriately on an exterior door. There are heavy duty options available as well as light options. Their internal system can mean the ability to house levers or knobs, too. The body is usually cylindrical. In the mortise is a box lock. This kind of lock could be used for different door types due to the different length and height options available.

Now we will discuss padlocks. A padlock is different from other locks in the sense that it is a free-standing or movable lock. You might have seen a padlock or even used one in school, on a locker. Or perhaps a small padlock was used to lock your bike in recent history. Different categories for padlocks include combination and keyed. Like the other kinds of locks discussed here, there are different categories within this particular category. A padlock will come with a shackle shape, and a shouldered shackle.
To summarize, various kinds of locks include:
