Start with the door
Even a quality lock cannot compensate for a weak or poorly aligned door. The frame, hinges, strike plate and existing bore holes should be checked before hardware is selected. Exterior doors usually benefit from a properly installed deadbolt.
Traditional or electronic?
Traditional keyed locks are familiar and dependable. Keypads and smart locks add convenience for families, cleaners or short-term access, but they must suit the door and be installed with reliable mechanical alignment.
Consider one-key convenience
When compatible hardware is used, several doors may be keyed alike so one key operates them. A locksmith can also explain restricted or higher-security key options when controlling unauthorized copies matters.
