FAQs

How secure are double door locks?

These door locks are quite secure. They require a key to lock and unlock the door from both inside and outside, making unauthorized entry difficult. This makes them particularly useful on doors with glass panels or sidelights where an intruder can break the glass to unlock the door.

What is the difference between single and double cylinder handlesets?

Single cylinders are keyed on the outside, allowing for quick locking and unlocking. Double cylinder handlesets are keyed on both the outside and inside. This provides an extra layer of security, especially for doors with nearby windows. However, this additional security comes at a cost of more difficult exit during an emergency and could be against building code in your area.

Can a double cylinder handleset be picked?

Yes, they can. However, double door locks are much more challenging to pick than other locks such as single cylinders. This deters most burglars, since they look for easy entry points.

Why would you use a double-sided deadbolt?

Use these locks for enhanced security. We recommend these locks for doors with glass panels, doors leading to patios or decks, and in businesses and homes where security is top priority.
