It&#8217;s a known fact that about two-thirds of all burglaries involve forced entry, often by kicking the door or prying it open.<br \/>While having a metal door or solid core makes it harder for a burglar to break in, adding a deadbolt lock is another important step for security. To effectively protect your home or apartment from thieves, you should have a professional locksmith install a deadbolt lock. Here are some reasons why deadbolt locks offer more security than regular padlocks.<br \/>\u2022 Grade 1 Rated Lock. To ensure your deadbolt is strong, look for one with a Grade 1 rating from the American National Standards Institute. Locks are rated from 1 to 3, with Grade 1 providing the best home protection.<br \/>\u2022 Heavy Gauge Metal. Make sure the deadbolt lock installed by your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asaplocksmithla.com\/\">professional locksmith<\/a>\u00a0is durable and won&#8217;t easily give in to a burglar. Stronger deadbolt locks may cost more, but security experts agree they are worth it.<br \/>\u2022 Solid Metal Strike Plate. The strike plate secures the deadbolt in the door and isn\u2019t always made of steel, so it\u2019s important to choose the strongest one available.<br \/>\u2022 Deadbolts Are Saw-Resistant. Most deadbolts feature movable internal pins. If a burglar tries to saw through one, the saw just spins the pins and doesn\u2019t effectively break the lock.<br \/>\u2022 Deadbolt Throw: This refers to how far the metal bolt extends into the door frame when locked. Most deadbolts are designed with at least a one-inch throw for better security.<br \/>In addition to enhancing your home\u2019s security with deadbolt locks installed by a skilled locksmith, you can also ask them to install metal lock guards. These guards surround the lock, making it harder for a burglar to twist the lock out using pliers or a wrench.<\/p><p><a title=\"Home\" href=\"https:\/\/thedivinenetwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AA Lock And Key<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e5339d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3e5339d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-600e791 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"600e791\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ca088d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7ca088d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"448\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/aalockandkey.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/residentialLock1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1518\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aalockandkey.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/residentialLock1.png 448w, https:\/\/aalockandkey.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/residentialLock1-300x237.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Deadbolts Are Important Any door without a deadbolt lock can easily become a target for burglars.
