Practical advice to enhance your home's security
It may seem obvious, but many break-ins occur through unlocked doors. Make it a habit to lock all doors and windows, even when you're home. Install deadbolts on all exterior doors for added security.
When you move into a new home, always rekey the locks. You never know how many copies of the old keys exist or who might have access to them. This simple step dramatically improves your home security.
Spring latch locks offer minimal security. Install Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts on all exterior doors. Deadbolts provide significantly better protection against forced entry than standard doorknob locks.
Sliding glass doors are common entry points for burglars. Install a security bar in the track and consider adding a pin lock or foot-operated lock for additional security on these vulnerable entry points.
Burglars know all the common hiding spots for spare keys. Instead of hiding keys under doormats or planters, give a spare to a trusted neighbor or install a smart lock with keyless entry.
Regular maintenance keeps locks functioning smoothly and reliably. Lubricate locks annually, address sticky locks immediately, and replace worn locks before they fail completely.
Understanding your options for home security
The most secure type of residential lock. Deadbolts use a solid metal bolt that extends deep into the door frame, making them highly resistant to forced entry. Available in single-cylinder and double-cylinder varieties, deadbolts are essential for exterior doors.
Modern electronic locks that connect to your smartphone or home automation system. Smart locks offer keyless entry via codes, fingerprints, or app control, with features like remote access, temporary guest codes, and entry logs that show who comes and goes.
Electronic locks that use numeric codes for entry instead of traditional keys. Keypad locks eliminate the risk of lost keys and allow you to create unique codes for family members, which can be easily changed if compromised.
Common for interior doors and ADA-compliant applications. Lever handles are easier to operate than doorknobs, making them ideal for people with arthritis or mobility challenges. Available with locking mechanisms for privacy.
Traditional round doorknob locks that provide basic security for interior doors. While not recommended as the sole lock for exterior doors, they work well for bedrooms, bathrooms, and other interior applications when combined with deadbolts on entry doors.
Heavy-duty locks commonly found in older homes and commercial applications. Mortise locks fit into a pocket cut into the door and offer superior strength and durability. These locks often combine locking mechanisms with decorative hardware.
