Door lock technologies have evolved a lot in recent years. Find out what sorts are available, how they operate, and how the different types stack up against each other.
The type of locks you choose for your doors will have a big impact on the security of your home. Having a good lock’s very important – at the risk of sounding alarmist, many robberies and home invasions do occur as a result of an intruder being able to gain entry through a poorly secured door.
Deadbolts are recommended for all outside facing doors but these are often backed up by a simpler lock as well. Spending some time researching which locks are right for you will ensure that your home’s as secure as it needs to be.
