While quality locks seldom attract daily consideration, their critical role as our home’s frontline security barriers demands mindful selection for optimum safeguarding. After all, even the sturdiest structure proves vulnerable without resilient hardware partners stalwartly deterring opportunistic intruders at every ingress point.

Consider some of their tried-and-true recommendations when upgrading locks this season:
Assess Your Exposure
Doors welcoming public traffic require bank-tier defense exceeding lightly-used rear exits. Consider installation locale, traffic volumes, proximity to windows, and more when matching grit.
Inspect Your Doors
Ponder door composition – wood, steel, or composite. Thick solid-core wood withstands more abuse than hollow varieties. Choosing locks sturdy enough to withstand determined jiggling preserves structural integrity.
Evaluate Your Budget
Affordable options exist but rarely prove wise for high-risk points. Penny-pinching leaves openings exploited, so invest wisely matched to valuables secured. Bear Yuba offers financing eliminating upfront dissuasions.
Deadbolts Deliver Might
For primary entrances, the protective prowess of a solid brass multi-point deadbolt cannot be overstated, securely fastening both sides and threshold. Choose deadbolts meeting minimum one-inch throw engagement and ANSI Grade 1 ratings.
Lever Handles Welcome All
Accessibility demands lever-style locks rather than dated knobs excluded many. Opt for designs featuring sidebars bolstering intruder-resistance alongside ADA-friendly ergonomics.
