Home Security Lock Sets

by Daniel Morris Content Writer
The home security lock that you select, should depend on your particular situation. Factors like the kind of door you've, the installation skill level that's required and the cost of the lock itself play an essential roll. It is essential that you choose the right home security lock.

The following explains the most typical types of home security door locks available. Jimmy Proof Deadbolt - This deadbolt lock is mounted on the back surface of the door. The clamping pin slides into a strike plate that is mounted on the door frame. The single cylinder deadbolt lock comes along with a key on the outside and a thumb turn handle on the inside. This kind of lock can be installed on a door that will not have a glass windowpane. The double cylinder deadbolt lock comes along with a key on both the outside and inside. This kind of lock can be installed on a door which has a glass windowpane.

In the case of an emergency, the internal key should always be readily available to ensure a quick exit. Single and Double Cylinder Locks - These kinds of deadbolt locks are installed on the side edge of the door. This is achieved by drilling a hole on the face of the door for the cylinder mechanism, and a smaller hole on the edge of the door for the locking pin. The best quality cylinder door lock sets are resistant to drilling, lock picking and don't allow unauthorized key duplication. Mortise Door Lock - This kind of home security lock is mounted in a mortise on the outer most edge of the door.

The lock is rectangular in shape and is typically installed on heavy doors. Mortise lock sets are known for their pin locking mechanisms that permit you to release both the lock latch and deadbolt with one turn of the key. These kinds of lock sets are usually considered as high end locks. They can extremely compliment the exterior look of any home. With regards to home security lock sets, mortise locks can be the best choice and are well worth the investment. Keyless Entry Lock Set - As the name indicates, this kind of lock grants you entry without using a key.

Mechanical key less locks come with rows of numbered push buttons. You must enter the right number combination to open the lock. Electronic keyless locks can come with keypads, digital touch screens, or a handle held remote control devices. Biometric door locks work with finger print sensors.
