Why adding a deadbolt to a garage door is a good idea.

Published April 3, 2010

Many homes in Rocklin, Roseville, and Granite Bay only have a knob on the exterior garage door.  This makes this door extremely vulnerable to kick ins as well as door spreading attacks.  Your local Roseville Residential Locksmith can help resolve this security threat by performing a fresh installation of a deadbolt of your garage door or doors.

By installing a deadbolt on the garage doors you are increasing the security of that door; not only will it be much more difficult to kick in or spread open it will also be more secure against pick attacks or lock bumping. To further increase the resistance to picking and bumping ask your locksmith to install spooled driver pins into you deadbolt cylinder.

Although it may be possible to for you to perform a fresh installation of a deadbolt lock on your door it is not advisable for a couple reasons.  First and foremost, it does take specialized tools such as hole saws, drill bits and chisels in order to properly install the lock. A professional locksmith will have all the necessary equipment to get the job done right.  Second,a professional locksmith will also be able to reinforce the door jamb and install security strike plates. This is important because when it comes to kick ins the door breaks at the weakest point, if the jamb is reinforced then it is unlikely to split out.

So if you decide that you would like to increase the security of your home please call your local Roseville Locksmith at 916-672-8565.
