Deadbolts Locks

In terms of having a safe home, deadbolt locks are right up there with security cameras as being one of the main lines of defence against potential intruders.

Although, while cameras can only report what they see, a deadbolt is arguably more crucial as they actually are the thing that prevents a burglar from getting into your home or business.

Deadbolts, particularly the more heavy duty ones, are more preferred due to their strength, which is only logical.  Of course, it’s worth remembering that deadbolts are only as tough as the doors and door frames that they are built into.

And so, it is no use having a superior deadbolt attached to a weak jamb and / or frame.  That said, if your entryway is done properly, it will make an effective barrier that can keep just about anything out.

This section is meant to discuss anything deadbolt-related, which includes some of the names you may know if you’ve looked into deadbolt protection before – Schlage, Medeco, Kwikset, Gatehouse – while we also discuss some of the latest and greatest advancements in the world of smart electronic deadbolts.

Some prefer the tried and true mechanical versions, and that is discussed here at length as well.  In addition, we talk about bump-proof locks, which is a big part of the security of a deadbolt in this time.
