A quality deadbolt is one of the most effective upgrades for door security. A locksmith installs new deadbolts and reinforces the strike area for real protection.
Single-cylinder deadbolts use a key outside and a thumbturn inside and are the most common residential choice. Double-cylinder deadbolts require a key on both sides, which can add security near glass but should be weighed against emergency exit needs. A locksmith can explain local code considerations and help you choose.
A deadbolt is only as strong as what it anchors into. Installing a longer bolt, a reinforced strike plate, and three-inch screws that reach the wall framing dramatically improves resistance to kick-ins. Proper installation and alignment ensure the bolt fully extends into the frame every time.
