The deadbolt lock is an incredibly effective access control system, especially in conjunction with an alarm system. On its own, an alarm system doesn’t stop intruders from entering a home. Because of this, it is necessary to have a sturdy lock in place to secure your home properly. Below are some of the benefits of a deadbolt lock.

3 Advantages of a Deadbolt Lock

1. Versatility

The three main types of deadbolts are single-cylinder, double-cylinder, and keyless entry. Single-cylinder bolts require a key to get inside the premises, but the inside of the door uses a thumb-bolt to open the lock. A double-cylinder deadbolt requires a key from both sides of the door. They are advantageous if the door has a small window. The window can be broken, and someone can reach in and turn the thumb-bolt of a single-cylinder bolt to gain access. Keyless entry requires a thumbprint or code to enter.

2. Strong Access Control System

Access-Control SystemDeadbolts are made of steel and reinforced with a steel plate in the doorframe. Grade 1 ANSI locks are resistant to hammer strikes, drilling, and picking. Whether you’re replacing a current deadbolt or having one installed for the first time, it’s best to contact a professional locksmith to perform the job. Alterations to the door frame are typically required, and the alignment must be perfect in order for the door to open and close properly.

3. Affordable

Deadbolts are more expensive than regular locks, and if it is a new installation, it will require more time. However, compared to an alarm system, it is a much cheaper option. Keyless entry locks are the most secure but are also the most expensive. They are standard in a complete alarm system setup but can be purchased separately.
