What is a Deadbolt Lock?

Why Invest in a Deadbolt Lock?

Protect and enhance your security by adding a deadbolt to your door. No matter how hard someone may try to kick or break-in, the deadbolt remains secure and safe. For this reason, many decide to invest in a deadbolt rather than a chain or latch.

For homeowners looking to install a deadbolt or are not familiar with the options, there are three types of deadbolts you can install. The three options are single, double, and lockable thumb turn.

Most homes have a single deadbolt lock installed. Double deadbolts are great security enhancements to any door in and around your home or business.

The lockable thumb turn lock is a lock found in interior doors, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, or storage where privacy is wanted but security is not essential. With this particular deadbolt, it can be overridden on either side of the door, which is why this specific lock is not recommended for exterior doors.
