Locksets

Quality exterior and internal locksets safeguard against unwanted intruders. While entry locksets secure our property against burglary, typically installed on bathrooms and bedrooms doors, interior locksets grant us privacy from other members of the household or office. Paragon Locksmith NYC provides an extensive selection of locksets to suit your security requirements, whether you need a durable entry lockset or a privacy lockset for the restroom of your Manhattan office.

Also known as entry locksets, exterior locks, or keyed locks, exterior locksets function as high security locks, and therefore are heavy and durable to withstand break-in attempts without releasing open the door. Using a key, exit button, or a throw latch, entry locksets can be locked or opened from both sides of the door. Coming in many styles, shapes and finishes, interior locksets, also termed, interior knobs, passage locksets, spring-latch locks, or tubular locks, mostly utilize cylindrical locksets to lock on one side, and provide privacy. As a visible feature in the home, locksets should be selected with quality and style in mind.

Available either with a cylindrical or mortise body, before purchase ask yourself on which door, exterior or internal, will the lockset be installed:
Cylindrical lockset fits into a hole, cut in the door, with the latch bolt drilled into the edge of the door. The cylindrical body intersects with the latch bolt to lock or unlock. Cylindrical locksets lack security deadbolts, and therefore is less recommended for entry doors, unless deadbolts are further installed.

A Mortise lock-set fits into a mortise cut into the edge of the door. The mortise box of a mortise lockset accommodates the mechanic working for a twist knob or lever handle, latch, and deadbolt.

At Paragon Locksmith NYC, our security experts will advise you on the lockset that best meets your security requirements. In addition to a wide variety of locksets, our professional Manhattan locksmiths will install, repair or replace locksets at competitive rates.
