Tips to Installing new fresh locks

Tip to choose the right locks for your door:

  • Homeowner should focus on choosing the best locks to ensure comfort and security for long time.

  • Though basic feature of all the door locks are the same however the materials used n its bolt and the door can help in determining strength of the lock. Latch bolts and deadlocks are the two types of locks usually recommended for exterior doors.

  • Deadbolt locks are neither beveled nor spring loaded but they are simply bolts. The homeowner will extend or retract a deadbolt manually either by using thumb-turn or a key.

  • Latch bolts are beveled as well as spring loaded bolts which can be operated with a handle to extend and retract is permanently extended bolt.

  • The latch bolts can be extended into the strike plate whereas deadbolt can be extended only up to the strike plate. If the deadbolt can be extended into the strike plate then it can increase the resistance power of the door lock.

  • Moreover, homeowners should focus on buying the locks that can provide them complete control on its keys and enable them to track the possessors of its keys as it can help in reducing the risk of various types of burglaries.

  • Some additional features in your door lock like high security grade reinforced strike plate etc. can increase the security of your home, if it is set deeply in the wall or frame of the door.

  • Additionally, the throw of the deadbolt should be effective or its bolt should be adequately long to ensure the security of your home as they can make difficult to trespass the door.

  • Well crafted locks like with saw resistant bolt or ant-drill locks etc. can also provide better security of your home from criminals and burglars.

  • The bolts resistant to saw include anti-saw pins to prevent its cutting with any saw blade. The cases of these locks are made from hardened steel to protect them from getting damaged from drilling.

  • So, while choosing right locks for your home you should also focus on their features to ensure better security of your home.
