Single Door Entry

Usually if you have just one door, you'll want a handleset with a single cylinder deadbolt. The deadbolt will lock with a key on the outside and lock or unlock with a thumb turn on the inside. If you have a glass front door, you'll want to consider the double cylinder deadbolt handleset as described below.

Glass Entry Door

It is not uncommon for a home to have a full or even half glass front door. In this case, many people prefer to install a double cylinder deadbolt. A double cylinder deadbolt is keyed on both sides. Rather than have a thumb turn on the inside, it has a keyhole like the outside does. The reason people like these is that if a burglar were to break the glass, they wouldn't be able to unlock the door. Keep in mind that this is not always recommended, as you wouldn't be able to get out of the home quickly in the event of a fire since you'd have to find the key to unlock the door. These should only be used where there is another escape route easily accessible.

Double Door Entry

If you have a double front door where one side is generally inactive while the other is always active, you will need a combination of two handlesets. For the active side, you'll need a handleset with a single cylinder deadbolt. Usually, the active side will close and latch to the inactive side and the deadbolt is latched into the inactive door edge. For the inactive door, you'll want to order a dummy handleset. This provides the look of a complete working set without the mechanisms - perfect for an inactive door.
