Residential Locks

One's home is a place of safety and security. However, with an alarming increase in home break-ins and burglary around the country, some people do not feel secure at their own homes. However, with upgrading the existing standard lock system, it doesn't have to be. As many home intruders get wiser, the locking mechanism of traditional locks used to protect your home may get obsolete and would need an upgrade from time to time.

Aging is the enemy of mechanical locks. The mechanism of a lock may suffer some wear and tear in time which may affect its functionality and the ability to hold off breaking attempts by intruders. While it can be easy replacing your existing locks with the same type and manufacturer, considering other types of locks and features might be a better solution.

Most types of locks that are available in the market today have different purposes. Most locks that come with unique features were meant to answer different security needs. Some offer high level of durability to eliminate forced entry while others may offer added convenience. Paying attention to the different grade levels may also assist in choosing the right lock for your home.

Key-less entry locks offer a great alternative for traditional locks in order to secure your home. These types of locks will normally come in the form of a keypad interface where a 4 to 6 digit code would be required in order to unlock them and open the door. There are many key-less entry locks that are available in grade 1 or 2 which should be enough to provide high level of security to your residential property.
