External Door Locks & Latches
External door locks and latches are security devices designed to secure the entry and exit points of buildings, homes, and other structures. They are typically installed on the outer doors of a building, such as the front door or back door, and used to prevent unauthorised access, theft, and vandalism.
Locks and latches are available in various styles and designs. This ranges from simple deadbolts to complex electronic systems. Deadbolts are the most common type of lock, providing a basic level of security by extending a solid metal bolt into a door frame. Advanced locks may incorporate technical features like keyless entry, smart home integration, and access control.
Latches, on the other hand, are simpler devices used to keep doors closed and secure. They typically consist of a metal bar that extends from the door into the door frame and can be operated with a handle or knob. Latches are often used alongside locks to provide an additional layer of security.
When choosing an external door lock or latch, it's important to consider factors like the level of security required, the style of the door, and the budget available. A professional locksmith or security expert can help guide you through the selection process and ensure your doors are properly secured.
