Choosing a Deadbolt & Higher-Security Locks

A good deadbolt is one of the simplest security upgrades for a home. Here is what actually matters when you choose one.

Grade and fit

Look for a solid deadbolt with a full one-inch throw, mounted in a door and frame that can hold it. On older city doors, the fit and a reinforced strike often matter more than the fanciest lock.

Keyed alike and smart options

You can key a new deadbolt to match your existing keys, and there are reliable smart deadbolts if you want keypad or phone entry. We will walk through the trade-offs before installing.
