Locks, knobs, finger pulls and levers all play a role in the security of your door! Aside from windows, doors are one of the most vulnerable parts of a home’s envelope, making it that much more important to choose quality materials for your handles and locks.
Some homeowners choose to swap out their door locks or handles while others choose to update the door entirely either for aesthetic, function, or energy efficient purposes.
A few considerations when updating your doors, handles and locks should include:
- Quality of materials to ensure optimal security
- Price point meets your budget and matches the product’s quality
- Lock mechanism, keyed or keyless
- Size compatibility
- Function is friendly to everyone in your family
- Style, shape, color and finish match your current design

The quality of your door, handle and lock matters when it comes to security from intruders and severe weather. This isn’t the time to opt for a chincy installation; choose quality materials with high-quality finishes that won’t easily wear from frequent use.
