Door Security
The door locks on your home are your first line of defense. With no locks, any random person can just walk into your home at any time. With insignificant locks, a robber can still access your home. The best door lock systems I have found to be in Europe. They use dimple keys and double-extending deadbolts with bolt-outs on the top and bottom of the door. In America, we either have Kwikset and Schlage keyed deadbolts and handles.
Handle locks
Just locking the handle on your front door is going to be your least amount of security. This is also the type of lock most people get themselves locked out of. The reason is that the door can be locked and pulled shut behind you. If you do not have your keys on your person, they can easily be left and locked inside. These are what you see on TV and in movies: thieves just credit carding the door open. That’s because just as easily as it was pulled shut, it can be opened.
Deadbolts
A deadbolt is going to be your strongest line of defense because it sticks far into the door jam. They also get more secure with strength grading and brand. Different companies have different safety measures in place, so these locks can not be picked up or drilled. The number 1 upgrade that you can do to your current system removes the short screws from the metal plates in the door jams. Install long screws because this will help strengthen the brace if someone tries to kick the door in.
