People who live in stand-alone homes are naturally concerned about home safety Given the increase in home invasions and thefts lately, this anxiety has become even greater. The choice of a home  steel security door lock can seem very daunting.
People who live in a single family home have always been concerned about security. With crime on the increase this concern has become even greater. There are many types of home security door locks to choose from. In order to assist you, this article will review the different considerations that should be made when selecting a home security door lock.
There are several different kinds of locking mechanisms that are available at any hardware store. However, we suggest that you choose a deadlock mechanism for your home security door lock because breaking a deadlock requires more effort and up to 15 times more time as well. But your task doesn't get much simpler as the variety in deadlocks is itself staggering.
Any home security lock based on the deadlock mechanism can be classified on the basis of cylinders contained in the mechanism. As per your requirement of strength and the size of the door, you can select from three major varieties-single cylinder deadbolt lock, double cylinder deadbolt lock, and single cylinder deadbolt with removable thumb-turn.
The choice of your home security door lock depends as well on how much you have to spend on its purchase. This budgetary decision will certainly affect the material from which the lock is crafted. For a lock which is stronger and which offers the most security, you should choose one made of a patented steel amalgam rather than a deadbolt made of iron.

You also need to choose between locks that allow the key to be inserted from both-inside and outside the door; or locks that allow the key to be inserted only from the outside. The second variety can complicate things in case you forget to carry the key-the key is not required for securing the lock but it is essential to open it! Selection of one-way key mechanism or two-way key mechanism is entirely based upon your personal views.
Naturally, choosing a deadbolt fixture means you must match the type of key used to it. Keys which have two or more grooves, meaning there are two or more levers in their lock, make it more of a problem for a burglar to copy them and enter your premises. You should certainly choose a deadbolt door lock with no fewer than seven levers and constructed of a strong metal such as brass.
