Can a locksmith make a tubular key?

Not all locksmiths can make tubular keys because there is a special machine that is required for the job. It will be a good idea to ask the locksmith first. As much as tubular keys are found in vending machines, they’ve started becoming popular with bike and motorcycle locks.

Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?

The key pins in locks are cheaply priced thus making rekeying the affordable alternative compared to replacing the locks. A good example is when you have several doors in your home with different keys. You might want to rekey the locks so that you only need one key to open the doors.

Can tubular keys be duplicated?

This will depend on the locksmith that you’ll be working with. There are those that will replicate the keys according to your specification. Customers get discounts on identical keys while still getting duplicates of the original.

When most people think of security cameras, they think of the ubiquitous white cameras mounted around the perimeter of a building or property and the black domes on the ceiling inside of a building. Another image that is conjured up is that of a uniformed security guard sitting in a dark room in front of a wall of monitors. While in some larger installations the latter can be true, in our age where technology is often racing far ahead of our needs there are better ways to have eyes everywhere.

Modern CCTV systems can often consist of wireless mini cameras that can only be spotted if someone is really examining the walls and ceilings of a home or business. Cameras can be disguised as light fixtures, fire and smoke alarms and other objects that one would expect to find. Other cameras can be no bigger than a tube of lipstick and can be placed where no one will see them but where they will see all.

Another shift in the use of CCTV systems is how they are monitored. Where the dark room with the wall of monitors was once the norm, advanced computer based monitoring systems are used to store all of the video captured. Additionally, many systems allow remote monitoring over the internet using PCs, tablets and even smartphones.

The clarity and level of detail that these newer cameras provide over their predecessors is equally impressive. The best part is that many CCTV systems are so affordable that they are becoming common place in both the office and the home.
