Choosing the right door locks for your home is probably the most important decision to make when you consider how to better protect your home and family. The quality of the locks has a big impact on the chances of getting your home burglarized and it is a key feature in the overall security level.

Door lock features to take under consideration:

• Install locks with deadbolts
• Install locks with an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Grade 1 classification. This is a grading system that measures the security and durability of door locks.
• Install locks with key control. Many door keys can be copied at a local hardware or retail store. However, there are high security locks using keys that cannot be copied except by certain locksmiths or only by the manufacturer themselves.
• Security Strike Plate. Many times strike plates are cosmetic and do not provide much security.
• 1" Minimum Throw on Deadbolt. The throw of the deadbolt is the length that the deadbolt extends out of the door edge. A minimum throw of 1" is recommended. Longer throws makes it more difficult to gain entry by spreading the doorframe.
• Saw-Resistant Bolts. Some deadbolts come with internal anti-saw pins. The pins spin freely inside the bolt. If someone tries to break in by sawing off the deadbolt, the pin will make this difficult because it spins back and forth with every movement of the saw blade.
• Hardened Cased Steel & Beveled Casings. On a typical deadbolt lock the outside housing of the lock is called the "casing" or "case." Many lock manufacturers make their casings out of hardened steel and many make the casing beveled. The hardened cased steel makes the casing more resilient against blows from a hammer. Beveling the casing makes it very difficult to get pliers or pipe wrenches to stay on the lock when trying to twist it loose.
• Anti-Drill Feature. Some intruders know how to drill out a lock. Some manufacturers combat this by installing hardened steel chips within the lock housing. When the drill bit hits these steel chips, it tears up the drill bit.

At Bay State Locksmith, Inc, we recommend deadbolt type locks to be installed on:

• Exterior doors
• Doors between attached garages and living spaces
• Garage main doors even if the garage is not attached to the house.
