Different Types Of Door Locks
Passage Lock
- An interior lock used inside the home in hallways or closets between rooms where privacy is not important.
- Has two, non-locking knobs, one on each side of the door. Some models use levers instead of knobs.
- An interior lock.
- Designed for privacy rather than for security.
- Has a locking button on the inside knob but no key device on the outside knob.
- Can be either a knob or lever.
- In an emergency, the lock can be opened from the outside by inserting a narrow object through the small hole in the outside knob and either depressing or turning the locking mechanism inside, depending on the type of lock.
- Used only for decoration or applications that do not need a latch.
- Has no latching mechanism and does not turn.
- Two door knobs that can be locked from both the inside and the outside.
- One type locks from the inside by turning or depressing a small button, while a key must unlock the outside knob.
- Some models must be locked with a key on both the inside and outside.
- In other models, only the inside knob can lock or unlock both sides of the set.
- A medium security entrance door lock.
- Called "dead" because there are no springs to operate the bolt. It is only operated manually with a key or a thumb turn from the inside.
- The bolt locks the door to the frame and helps prevent someone from prying it open.
- The throw is the length the bolt is extended from the lock housing. The industry standard is a 1" throw.
- Locks are designed to fit specific size hole and backsets. Backset refers to the distance between the edge of the door and the center of the handle.
- A single cylinder deadbolt is operated with a key from the outside and with a turn button on the inside. It is mostly used with solid metal or wood doors.
- A double cylinder deadbolt is operated with a key on both the inside and outside. It is best used on a door with glass in or around them as the style prevents someone from breaking the glass, reaching in and unlocking the door.
- Provides maximum security on a door.
- Squarish in shape and mounted on the surface of the inside of the door.
- The bolt may be turned with a key or a turn knob.
- Instead of sliding into the door frame, the bolt slides into a surface-mounted strike.
- Consists of a flat, rectangular box that fits into a recess in the door from its edge. Also includes two faceplates that include the knobs and keyholes.
- Available in right or left handed styles.
- Has a pin tumbler locking mechanism in a cylinder.
- Latch operates from either side except when the outside knob is locked.
- Deadbolt operates by a turn of the inside knob.

- Used in many types of doors, from heavy entrance doors to commercial buildings and residential doors.
- Installed on the inside surface of the door.
- Has an automatic locking feature. The large, spring loaded latch automatically locks whenever the door is closed.
- For light security and usually used in combination with another lock.

- Some model will sound an alarm after the incorrect code has been entered more than three consecutive times.
- Anti-theft rolling code feature ensures the same code is never used twice.
- Some systems are compatible with some garage door openers so the homeowner only needs one remote.
