Install double cylinder locks

Deadbolt locks are considered the safest home locks. However, if your door is next to a window, especially if the window is made of glass, our specialists suggest that you go for a double cylinder. This requires a key to be opened from both the outside and inside so this can prevent break-ins, even when they are able to reach the other side of the door through the window.

Buy safes from reputable stores

It’s best to purchase a safe from a reputable store. You might think that you’ll be able to save more if you buy from an auction or flea market. However, there’s a big possibility that it’s locked and the key is not available. So you would still need to have it unlocked, and that can cost quite a lot.

Check the ANSI grade of a lock before buying it

The grading system established by the American National Standards Institute determines the overall quality of a lock and more specifically its durability and level of security. Grade 1 locksets have the best performance and offer the highest level of protection. When making a choice, you must confirm that all of the door lockset's components have received the respective grade.
