Traditional Mechanical Locks<\/h2>

When most people think of door locks, they\u2019re picturing traditional mechanical locks. These have been around for decades and are still widely used today because they\u2019re reliable, affordable, and easy to understand.<\/p>

A. Deadbolt Locks<\/h3>

\"Heavy<\/p>

Deadbolts are one of the most common and trusted options for securing exterior doors<\/a>. They come in a few variations, each offering a different level of security and convenience.<\/p>

Single Cylinder Deadbolt<\/h4>

This is the type you see on most front doors<\/a>. It has a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. It\u2019s simple to use \u2014 just turn the knob to lock or unlock from inside your home. The downside? If there’s a window near the door, a burglar could potentially break the glass and turn the thumb latch.<\/p>

Double Cylinder Deadbolt<\/h4>

This version requires a key to unlock from both the inside and outside.<\/p>

It offers better protection against intruders reaching in through a broken window, but it can also pose a safety risk in emergencies if you don\u2019t have a key handy inside.<\/p>

Lock Grades (ANSI\/BHMA Ratings)<\/h4>

Not all deadbolts are created equal. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI)<\/a> and the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) grade locks based on their durability and security.<\/p>
