How do I choose the right lock for my home?

Choosing the right lock involves considering security features, your budget, and the type of door. What type of door do you have?

I have a wooden front door. What lock would be best?

For a wooden door, a deadbolt is highly recommended for added security. Would you like to know about different types of deadbolts?

Yes, what are the differences between single and double cylinder deadbolts?

A single cylinder deadbolt uses a key on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside, while a double cylinder requires a key on both sides. Double cylinders can be more secure but may pose a safety risk in emergencies.

That makes sense! Are there any smart lock options I should consider?

Absolutely! Smart locks offer keyless entry and can be controlled via smartphone apps. They often have features like remote access and activity logs. Would you like recommendations for specific brands?
