Mechanical Deadbolt Locks

Mechanical deadbolts are deadbolts that have no integrated electronic parts, so that they remain what some still consider to be the classic form of locking device

Such deadbolts add a level of strength to your home that many people do not simply want, but require, as a matter of course. They are generally built tough, effectively preventing any kind of break-in, and as well they are certainly built to last.

There are many brands who still deal in strictly mechanical deadbolts – Lockey, Schlage, Medeco – to name a few.

The reason for this is that some companies know there is still a large demand for these types of deadbolts, with one reason for this being that electronics, while dependable in many cases, are not always ultimately reliable.

And, while we here at Your Home Security Watch do trust some electronic deadbolts, depending on the brand and the model of course, we think this point is well taken.  After all, we’re talking about the safety of home or business, and this isn’t to be taken lightly.

Sometimes you want to relative simplicity of your standard locking mechanism, without the added “convenience” of an electronic device thrown into the mix.

Another benefit of mechanical deadbolts is that they can in no way be hacked by people who are proficient with electronics.  They are also in some cases bump proof, if the keyway is built in such a way as to specifically prevent lock-bumping, or there simply is no keyway at all.

Bump proof mechanical deadbolts, for some people, are the way to go, and it’s easy to understand why.

We have articles here on this site that go in depth on bump proof locks, and it’s worth reading, as some people feel that lock bumping has become a big enough problem that it shouldn’t be ignored, in the scheme of making your home more secure.  We couldn’t agree more.

As for aesthetics, just because a deadbolt is mechanical does not mean it’s old-fashioned looking, per se.  Some mechanical deadbolts look amazing on a modern home, while some others do throw back aesthetically to a more “classic” look.

In this section, you will find plenty of articles and reviews on mechanical deadbolts that you can use to make your home a more secure place.
