A reliable iron door can provide good protection for your home. But without a quality lock, all preventive measures will become useless. How to choose the right locking device that can protect your apartment from breaking and what you need to pay attention to. Let's consider this question in more detail.
All locking mechanisms can be combined into two groups:
- According to the installation method;
- By type of secret locking element.
The first version of locks can be divided into the following types:
- Padlocks (barn). Basically, their scope is garages, storerooms and other outbuildings;
- Mortise locks. To install these models, you will need a special space or pocket in the door;
- Overhead locks. Installation of this model is carried out on the inside of the door.
- The last two types of locks are considered equally reliable. The choice will depend solely on your preferences and the possibility of the front door.
By type of secret element, locks are divided into the following options:
- Cylinder locking element (larva). The main feature of such locks is the ability to replace the internal locking device. If you lose your keys or the larva breaks, you can easily pick up a new cylinder element and at the same time, replacing the entire lock completely is not required.
The most reliable locks with this secret element are considered to be those that use keys with laser sharpening or cross keys.
- Lever lock element. These locks are much more reliable than the first option. But only if you use really high-quality products. The disadvantages of these locks can be considered a fairly large key and the fact that their installation can be carried out only in a mortise way.
- Disc locking element. These locks are less reliable than the above options, but in combination with any other locking mechanism, will be a good protection for your home.
This model tolerates low temperatures well and is ideal for installation in gates and external doors of a private house
The most reliable lock that protects against hacking is considered a biometric model. Opening them will require your fingerprint or your family members. But their biggest disadvantage can be considered high cost. But then your housing will be under reliable protection.
