I know from personal experience that burglars and vandals have a field day when they come across an exterior door unprotected by a deadbolt.

Deadbolts are essential security devices. In most cases, simply installing them on your doors will decrease your homeowner’s premium.

When you have deadbolt installation done in your home, you should avoid taking the DIY approach and hire a reputable locksmith to get the job done instead.

Installing deadbolts on doors and extra locks on windows and patio sliders are common, inexpensive ways to improve security on your home itself.
