Types of Locks You Can Use For Good Security

• Padlocks: These are portable locks typically used to secure gates, chains, and other items.


• Deadbolts: These are often used as a secondary locking mechanism for doors, providing additional security.


• Knob Locks: These are commonly used on residential doors, usually in conjunction with a deadbolt for enhanced security.


• Mortise Locks: Installed within the door, offering high security and durability, often used in commercial settings.


• Cam Locks: Often used in cabinets and mailboxes, operated by a key or combination.


• Smart Locks: Use electronic or Bluetooth technology to allow keyless entry through smartphones or key fobs.

Alarm Systems For Building Security

• Burglar Alarms: Detect unauthorized entry through sensors on doors and windows.


• Fire Alarms: Detect smoke or heat, triggering an alarm to warn of a potential fire.


• Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Monitor levels of carbon monoxide in the air, providing a warning if concentrations become dangerous.


• Motion Sensors: Trigger alarms when movement is detected in a monitored area.


• Glass Break Sensors: Detect the sound of breaking glass, common in home security systems.

It's essential to assess your specific security needs and the level of protection required when choosing locks, alarm systems, and safes for your home or business.
