Which Type of Door Locks is Right For your
Home

This article provides a look at the basics of the different types of door locks available for
residential homes.

The type of lock you need will depend largely upon what type of doors you have in
your home. Doors with glass panels should be fitted with a mortise lockset, which
is designed to protect against forced entry through either the glass or pneumatic
systems. These are often found on French style doors and can be used on any set of
doors, providing they don't have small glass panels. A mortise lock is inserted into
the door such that it will only fit one way, making it difficult to install incorrectly and
so more secure than wafer locksets.
Wafer locksets should be used on doors that have large glass panels and are not
joined to a French door. Wafer locksets are installed in a manner similar to that of a

mortise lock and will provide strong protection against forced entry. They are best
suited to larger doors, which means they can be difficult to install and will require
an experienced lock serviceman to install them correctly.Door closers are another
type of locking device used for doors and can be found on doors with any type of
material or without any. A door closer can be used to provide security for doors that
are used regularly, such as those that lead to the home office.

As you can see, there are various types of door locks you can install on your home
doorways, each designed for a specific purpose. The type you'll need to install will
depend on the type of doors in your home and on whether or not you need security.
If you have any questions about which type of lockset to get, contact a local lock
company to schedule an appointment for an experienced lock serviceman to visit
your home and provide you with security advice.

The Yale keyed lockset is ideal for exterior doors and features a "keyed" lock bolt
for added security. The Yale heavy-duty lock set, like the rest of Yale's line of
locksets, is constructed using heavy duty steel components and authentic genuine
brass keyed cylinder with 3/4" backset in a beautiful satin brass finish to
complement your door finishings.

The Yale lock features a deadbolt with a 1-9/16" throw and an adjustable backset, so it
can be used on standard doors (2-3/8" to 2-15/16"), French doors (2"x6" to 6"x6"),
sliding glass doors (1-3/4" to 2-1/2") and many other door types as well. The Yale is the
perfect choice for heavy duty exterior doors, fire rated doors, or any door requiring high
security such as in apartment buildings or other multi-tenant properties.
