Deadbolts
It is not a surprise at all that deadbolts are the most common locks for residential properties. They are very durable and designed within 3 different levels of security. As a home owner you probably have them installed on your front door.
Mortise Locks
If you don’t have a deadbolt lock most chances are you have a mortise lock installed instead. This type of lock is very common and like deadbolts also used on front door and very similar to deadbolts but the main difference lies in the installation process.
A mortise lock needs to have a pocket carved into the doors side frame so that it can seamlessly fit into the door itself. On the other hand a deadbolt requires 2 holes to be drilled.
Smart Locks
Smart locks have become quite popular in the field of home security in last 10 years. Thanks to developments in home security technologies and the widespread use of smartphones these innovative devices are getting more and more popular.
Smart locks allow homeowners to create ‘digital keys’ using their smartphones making regular keys useless and with their cutting edge technology smart locks have truly revolutionized the way people protect their homes.
