You have probably worried if you are safe at night when you sleep. Like all of us we have often kept ourselves up at night wondering if the door locks that we have installed on our homes are secure enough. In this quick article I am going to cover some of the basics about choosing the best lock for your home. At the end of the article you should have a good idea on what door locks will work best for your property. From smart door locks, deadbolt locks, to the latest in keyless locks, your choice in locks is a matter of personal opinion.

Best Door Locks:

Smart door locks are arguably one of the nicest of smart home comforts. For most of us, security is a top priority when selecting door locks for our homes, followed by cost, style and finish. Choosing the best door locks for your doors depends on whether a door is interior or exterior, because each type of door requires completely different locking mechanisms.

Some Best Door Locks are:

Deadbolts:

Deadbolt locks provide the most security on residential doors. The term dead is used, because these locks do not contain springs. Double-cylinder deadbolts can pose a danger during an emergency if the key is missing or not readily available.

August Smart Lock:

The August Smart Lock is one of the most popular locks currently available. It’s smart enough to know when you’re coming and going, knowing not to unlock the door if you’re passing by it inside your house.

Keyless:

For advanced home security and convenience, keyless entry locks can be used to replace any standard deadbolts on exterior doors. An anti-theft rolling code feature ensures the same code is never used twice.

Mortise Locks:

Mortise locks are used on many types of residential doors, including storm doors and stress convenience over security. The lockset consists of a flat, rectangular box that fits into a recess in the door.

As you can see reading this article there are quite a lot of door locks, probably more than you imagined. It’s really up to you on the type of lock that you choose for your home. When selecting a door lock the thing that you want to look for most is to find a door lock that is made of quality materials. Additionally, do not skimp on purchasing a door lock because of price alone. The higher the price, generally the better quality the lock is going to be.

We suggest purchasing door locks from the top manufactures. Manufactures that you are familiar with are going provide a better quality lock to keep you more secure. Isn’t that the reason why you installed a new door lock to begin with?
