We’ve dealt with the most common forms of locks, but what other types of lock are there? Knowing that the range available is extensive, it is always wise to speak to a locksmith in detail to identify the best one for the particular job, but it is certain that he will point you towards some of the following additional kinds of locks.
Cam Locks
This style of lock is mainly used in office furniture such as simple filing cabinets and display cases. Generally, when you’re talking about locks, the ‘cam’ refers to a piece of metal that is screwed into the back of the mechanism and can’t move on its own. However, the ‘cam lock’ uses a flat, off-set or hooked piece of metal, called a tailpiece, to actually interface with the lock itself. The range of cam locks available with quite wide, which means there is a style that is right for you.
Rim or Mortise Locks
These two types of locks are put together because of their similarity in design and use, which leads to many using the names interchangeably. However, there are still some clear differences. A rim lock tends to have a longer metal tailpiece and is placed in a slot rather than being fixed with screws onto the holding surface. Usually, they are used in rim latch locks that are mounted on the inside of a door. In contrast, a mortise lock is screwed into the thickness of the door and secured with a set of screws. The mortise lock has a wide selection of cams to suit the various thicknesses and styles of doors while.
Wall Mounted Locks
So many of those small cabinets that hang on the wall in offices, garages or janitors’ rooms, are locked by a wall mounted lock. Understandably, the name is a design giveaway, with this type of lock literally mounted on the wall. In effect, they are like mini safes, but are not as sophisticated in their design as some of the normal wall safes that you can get. This means that often the lock is installed at the time that the particular wall is constructed, but it is usually possible to add the lock after construction. Wall mounted locks can also come with alarm sensors, which allows them to be easily integrated into the building’s alarm system.
Cylinder Locks
One again, the name describes perfectly the lock itself, with this style of lock using a removable cylinder that allows for hassle-free re-keying. The cylinder contains the locking mechanism and can be removed by simply unscrewing them.
There are two main types in use: the Euro profile (DIN) and Interchangeable Core (IC) cylinders. Obviously, the Euro profile cylinder lock is used mainly in Europe, but it is gaining popularity in North America. They are generally available as either a single cylinder version, which locks on one side; a double cylinder version, which locks on both sides; and a single with thumb-turn version, which has a cylinder on one side and a thumb-turn on the other.
Interchangeable Core cylinders are common in major commercial buildings where security is more acute. Core changes can only be made with a control key, while a normal key only allows the lock mechanism to be locked and unlocked. With no unscrewing needed, changing the core only take seconds. There are two main formats of IC locks – the Small Format and Large Format.
