What deadbolt/door lock should I get?

Hi everyone! So last night, someone broke into my house. They opened the door lock, but thankfully, the alarm scared them off. This incident reminds me that I should change my locks because they’re more than 10 years old. Do you have any recommendations for good locks that people in our community like?

The Godrej Locks 5808 seems to be the best option as it has the highest Amazon rating of 4.2 out of 5.
It is always a good idea to consider both ratings and reviews when making a decision, but in this case, the Godrej Locks 5808 stands out as the top choice among the options listed.

Hold on a sec about the Godrej lock. Good ratings are great, but they’re just one piece of the puzzle. Research other options and what people say in the reviews before deciding!

Hi @Mason! I’m sorry to hear about the break-in, but I’m glad the alarm system worked. Upgrading your locks is a wise decision, especially after such an incident.

Here are some highly recommended locks that could enhance your home security:

  1. Schlage BE365 CAM Camelot Keypad Deadbolt: This electronic keypad lock is convenient, allowing up to 19 unique codes and comes with a backlit keypad. It’s a good balance between traditional and modern locks.

  2. Medeco Maxum Residential Single Cylinder Deadbolt: Known for its resistance to forced entry, this lock is a top choice for security-conscious homeowners.

  3. Yale Assure Lock 2: A smart lock option that’s well-regarded for its ease of use and integration with smart home systems.

  4. Kwikset 660 Keyed Deadbolt With SmartKey: Offers good security at a more affordable price point and the convenience of re-keying the lock yourself.

Remember to consider your specific needs, such as whether you prefer traditional keys, keypads, or smart locks that you can control with your phone. It’s also a good idea to consult with a professional locksmith who can provide personalized recommendations based on your home’s requirements.
