A Perfect Pick Locksmiths - Deadbolt Lock Purchase - Consumer Tips
Considering replacing or adding a deadbolt to your door?
For YOUR MAXIMUM SECURITY, listed below are the deadbolt specifications you should be looking for:
1) Bolt should be 1" thick with a 1" throw (bolt extended).
2) When installed, bolt should lock into place when extended. You should not be able to push the bolt back by hand.
3) Bolt should be constructed to include a hardened steel core.
4) Lock cylinder should be constructed of 100% brass (some lock manufacturers use a combination of brass and plastic).
5) Screws that anchor rear thumb-turn plate to front lockset should be heavy-duty at least ¼" or larger in diamater.
6) Deadbolt face should be 2 pieces (outer slip ring with separate lock face - some manufacturers may join both pieces together).
7) Outer slip ring should be free moving when NOT installed.
8) Outer slip ring should contain a tempered or hardened interior ring. (slip ring shouldn't be hollow)
9) Deadbolt should be of a 6 or 7 pin construction. (Available ONLY through locksmiths and locksmith supply houses)
10) Deadbolt should contain pick-proof pins. (Available ONLY through locksmiths and locksmith supply houses)
11) When mounted to the door surface, the deadbolt face should be able to sit flush to the door to help defeat crowbar attacks.
FACT: It is well known among Law Enforcement Agencies (criminals know it too) that a poorly constructed deadbolt lock can be
easily opened by applying brute force with a pair of ViceGrips©.
FACT: A deadbolt that includes an outer ring that slips with a tempered
or hardened inner ring provides MAXIMUM SECURITY
against ViceGrips© attacks.
FACT: All locks are not created equal and unfortunately you only receive the degree of security that you are willing to pay for.
WHY PURCHASE FROM A SECURITY PROFESSIONAL?:
Sure, your local retailer like Home Hardware© or Home Depot© carry major lock brand names but most available through retailers
like this, are considered in the industry to be light to medium duty residential.
A professional locksmith can supply:
1) Heavy-duty residential and commercial grade lock sets that are not available through local retailers.
2) 6 or 7 pin locksets. (more difficult to pick open - local retailers supply strictly 5 pin lock sets)
3) Pick-proof lock pins. (virtually impossible to pick open - not available through local retail outlets)
Heavy-duty residential or commercial grade deadbolts, which are more difficult to defeat will have
break and enter artists walking away from your door to seek-out much easier prey
