Security advice
Choosing stronger locks for your doors
Not every lock is built to the same standard. ANSI grades door locks from 1 to 3, and Grade 1 is tested hardest for strength and durability: the sensible choice for front, back and garage-entry doors. Grades 2 and 3 suit lighter use and interior doors.
A lock is only as strong as the door and frame around it, so a reinforced strike plate with long screws matters as much as the lock. Keypad and smart locks are available if you want keyless entry.
Questions to ask any locksmith
- Is there a service call fee, and what is it?
- Will the total be confirmed before work begins?
- Who provides the warranty on parts and labor?
- Is the locksmith licensed where required, and insured?
- Which payment methods are accepted?
- Will the locksmith check my ID?
