5 OF THE BEST LOCKS IF YOU LIVE IN AN APARTMENT

• Each type of property has a different set of
  security needs, and to that end, its important
  to think carefully about which lock would offer
  you the best protection according to what type of
  property you reside in. While a qualified,
  professional locksmith is best placed to give you
  the most accurate, nonbiased and technically
  sound advice and guidance, the following 5 lock
  types might help to give you a basic idea of
  which ones could offer the best protection if you
  live in an apartment

• Defender security lock
• These might be small, but they offer incredibly
  high levels of protection, and work in much the
  same way as a door blocker. When in the locked
  position, its able to withstand up to 800 lbs.
  of force, and can be unlocked by sliding it up
  and swinging it out.
• With no pickable keyholes, the door cant even be
  cracked open a millimeter, giving you fantastic
  tamper proof security at an affordable price
  most models are less then ten bucks. While it
  fits most exterior doors, it might not fit so
  well if the door to your apartment fit tightly
  into the frame.

• Addalock Portable Door Lock
• These are the easiest to use and while they also
  work like a door blocker, theyre held in place
  at the strike plate that already exists on your
  door requiring no drilling or changing of
  hardware.
• Just as with the first lock mentioned, youll
  need to have enough room between the strike
  plate, the door frame and the edge of the door,
  for the lock to slide through. Take the time to
  make sure the lock will fit your door before
  making a purchase.

• August smart lock
• Easy to install, the latest smart, keyless lock
  technology might be the right fit for your
  apartment. If there is a single-cylinder deadbolt
  on your door, upgrading to a smart lock is
  simple you replace the thumb turn with the
  battery-operated device. Operated by Bluetooth,
  you can lock and unlock your door using your
  mobile device and sync it to your Wi-Fi hub for
  remote operation.

6

• Kwikset single-sided deadbolt
• If you live in a shared rental property, this
  lock might offer you the most affordable level of
  protection. ANSI grade 3 rated, it works with
  most standard strike plates and with no pickable
  keyhole, intruders are left scratching their
  heads as to how to get in.
• Kwikset single cylinder traditional
• With the highest ANSI grade 1 rating (usually
  only found in commercial construction), this lock
  is great for protecting your apartment when
  youre away.

7

• Exceptionally sturdy, it also has a smartkey
  feature that enables you to rekey your own lock
  if you lose your key, and is highly resistant to
  picking and bumping methods. That said, it is a
  little more expensive than the other types of
  lock mentioned.
• Home security is important no matter where you
  live, so whether you live in a house, bungalow,
  cottage, apartment or a rented, shared property
  with multiple inhabitants, make securing the
  place you call home a priority, and schedule a
  consultation with a local home security expert,
  such as a locksmith, today.
