Type of Locks!

Are you contemplating changing your locks?

Are you confused by the many different types of locks?

Let us help!

There are several types of locks but today we will be covering the four of the most common types of locks.

Types of Locks

Padlocks! Padlocks are the only type that’s typically not permanently attached to anything else. They vary in sizes. Padlocks are portable and free standing. Additionally, these are the easiest type  to recognize.

Deadbolts! Deadbolts are usually installed on external doors and have a few more options than padlocks. Deadbolts come in three primary varieties: single, double, and lockable thumb-turn. Single cylinder deadbolts are the most common. Moreover, they use a key cylinder on the outside and a thumb-turn (rosary) on the inside to open or close the lock.

Knob Locks! These are often installed in residential situations on exterior doors in addition to deadbolts.  They are sometimes used as the primary source of security for doors.

Lever Handle Hocks! These are often times used for inner doors in commercial settings. They are easier to open than knob locks. Lever Handles have a large push down style handle. Frequently when handicap accessibility is important, lever locks are used.
