What is the best locking mechanism for your door? The best answer would be one which is high quality and safe. That’s the obvious answer of course. Out of all the locks on the market today most are easy to install. You can choose for yourself whether or not you want a smart door lock, or not. You can pick user codes, or a more traditional key. The beauty of all new locks is that all are pretty safe against lock picking, and all have heavy duty strike plates to ensure home security and resistance against forced entry.
As long as the door locks and unlocks with ease, we think you’ll be happy with a smart lock or a regular lock. What it comes down to is what kind of convenience you are looking for. We ask you to think about what you personally prefer. For instance, I just recently got a touch pad entry lock. It’s not a smart lock, but I don’t have to carry a key around anymore because it is a push button lock. This means, the next time my husband locks himself out of our house, I don’t have to rush halfway across town to let him into our home. I also don’t have to leave a spare key under the mat which isn’t safe at all.
Access Codes
Another great thing about push button locks is that you can give certain people one time access codes. So if you are out of town you can grant access to a friend or family member without having to stress about giving them a spare key either. How cool is that? I have found this kind of key really nice too when I bring home my groceries. Instead of having to fumble to find the keys in my pocket to open the door I just hit the number and it unlocks the door by itself so I don’t have to set my groceries down. It’s so convenient for me (I am a bit biased though). It also auto locks after 30 seconds. So if you ever forget to lock the house as you’re leaving you really don’t have to worry about safety because it’ll lock itself if you’ve forgotten.
Additionally, if your code ever gets compromised you can re-key the door and you won’t have to pay for a locksmith. You are the locksmith and it usually only takes a few seconds to re-key the door.
Traditional Keys
That’s not to say that if you don’t want to have the old traditional key that that’s any less safe. All of the locks we sell when you get a new front entry door are safe and secure. That’s because our front doors are made with a 20 gauge steel plate which has 40% more galvanized steel than a traditional 24 gauge door. Keep in mind though that traditional locks which use a key are a bit less expensive than the push button locks.
This custom hardware which comes with each door and lock we sell comes in multiple colors and styles that match any door. You get to pick the hardware so you get just what you are looking for. All of our doors and locks are backed by lifetime warranties so you will get protection for life.
