How to Choose a Front Door Security Lock
Crime rates today are so high that living in a
home is no longer as secure as it used to be, it
may appear like there are too many thieves and
burglars around who seem to operate with impunity
even in the most secure neighborhoods. When you
think about that, you dont have to be a rocket
scientist to see why many homeowners are
equipping their homes with alarm systems in
addition to a good home security lock. It is an
open secret that an alarm system alone is not
enough to prevent a thief or a burglar from
raiding the contents of your home unless you have
a good home security lock.

It is, therefore, important for every homeowner
to consider installing a reliable home security
lock and especially for the front door. You need
to talk to a reputable locksmith to give you
proper advice and especially in selecting a good
custom lock. While most people are right in
choosing deadbolts, you want to avoid the mass
produced deadbolts since they are prone to lock
bumping. The greatest advantage of looking for a
custom lock when choosing a deadbolt or a
deadlock is that it is a more secure home
security lock when compared to your typical
spring locking system since there are different
types of deadbolts, you want to choose one that
suits your needs.

Single cylinder deadbolt/deadlock This is
usually the most affordable option but thankfully
it is quite reliable. However, when you are
choosing this type of home security lock you must
carefully consider the type of door that you have
at home. The truth of the matter is that if you
choose the single cylinder deadlock as your home
security electronic lock because of its price
tag, you will still remain worried about a
possible break in. Any lock that is unsuitable
will definitely make it easy for burglars or
thieves to break into your home. This kind of
home security lock is appropriate for securing a
solid door that is made of wood or metal without
any kind of window on the door.

Double cylinder deadbolt If you have any kind of
window on your front door you will be better off
with a double cylinder deadbolt as you home
security lock for any exterior door that may
have enclosed glass or a window or some planes
next to it. This type of deadlock is also known
as that captured key deadbolt. Because it has a
double locking mechanism, it becomes quite
difficult for any thief or burglar to gain access
into your home. The main reason is that one must
use the key both from the inside and outside of
the lock in order to unlock or disarm it. With
this kind of home security locks, a burglar
cannot use a thumb to latch the door open from
inside even after breaking the outer part of the
lock.
