Frequently Asked Questions

What is a single cylinder deadbolt?

Single cylinder deadbolts have a thumb turn on the inside and a key cylinder on the outside. These are the most commonly used deadbolts.

What is a double cylinder deadbolt?

Double cylinder deadbolts have a key cylinder on both sides of the door. A double cylinder deadbolt requires a key to unlock on both sides of the door. In the event a burglar broke the glass in your door, they would still need a key to unlock the door. These deadbolts are far less common and are not recommended unless there is another exit with a single cylinder deadbolt nearby. Our opinion is that if someone is willing to break the glass in your door, they will likely figure out a way to enter even if you have a double cylinder lock.

What is a single-sided deadbolt?

A single-sided deadbolt has only a thumb turn on the inside. It can only be locked or unlocked using the thumb turn on the inside of the door.

Can a door locked with a deadbolt be kicked in?

Deadbolts have a 1" throw bolt that extends into a metal strike in the jamb which (if installed correctly) has two 3" screws attaching the strike plate into the jamb. So the deadbolt throw would be very difficult to break with a kick. It would be the door jamb that would break. So yes, the door could be kicked in, but it is typically the door jamb itself that fails, not the lock.

Are deadbolts safe?

Deadbolts use a 1" throw bolt that extends into the jamb, so they are more secure than a keyed knob or lever which would have a curved spring latch. Deadbolts could be picked like a knob, but are harder to kick in than a keyed knob or lever. It's important when installing a deadbolt to make sure the door has a solid jamb around it, especially where the deadbolt strike is mounted. When kicked in, it is typically the jamb that fails before the deadbolt.

Can someone break into a deadbolt lock?

The key cylinder in a deadbolt is very similar to a regular keyed knob or lever, so pick resistance would be the same between these two products. A deadbolt is more secure in that it is much harder to kick in a door with a deadbolt mounted or open using a credit card to slide in and raise the bolt.
