Deadbolt locks are considered the bread and butter of lock based home and business security. There’s simply no substitute for the material security provided by a well constructed, high quality Grade 1 deadbolt. In this blog post, the lock installation experts here at Mobile Locksmith Charleston will detail some of the main benefits of installing a high quality deadbolt lock at your property.
Major Durability
Quality deadbolts are made of hard steel, in either single cylinder or double cylinder varieties, and should extend far into the jamb of the door. Single cylinders need keys to get unlocked from the outside, but can be unlocked on the inside using a turn knob. Double cylinders require a key to unlock on either side of the door. Deadbolt lock strike plates are held in place with 3 inch long screws. This makes them far more durable and strong than other lock types.
Deadbolt Locks are Affordable Security
Deadbolt locks are far more affordable than other security measures. A simple twist of the locking mechanism of the deadbolt lock helps ensure that your doors stay secure. Deadbolt locks can even be added onto other locks to provide higher levels of security – and the ability to relax in knowing your property is better protected.
Ease of Operation
Deadbolt locks are incredibly good security, despite how easy they are to operate. Any family member or business associate can easily operate a deadbolt lock – which never runs the risk of being unfunctional during a power outage, like some smart locks. Deadbolt locks, while seeming simple, are difficult to pick – especially when the lock is kept lubricated and has multiple pins.
