Deadbolts are designed for increased security, but their appearance is also an important consideration when you shop. Ace has a large inventory of single- and double-cylinder deadbolts available in the latest styles. Read on to learn everything you need to know about keyed deadbolts to make the right decision for you.

What is a Deadbolt Lock?  

Deadbolt locks, sometimes referred to as deadlocks, has a locking mechanism that can only be opened using a specific key to unlock the lock cylinder. Without the right key, a deadbolt makes any door highly resistant to entry. Many times, deadbolts are designed to work with spring-bolt locks on entryway doors, along with other door components and hardware.

When protecting your property against intrusion, deadbolts are vital. These heavy-duty locks complement standard doorknobs with additional security. Proper deadbolt door locks can make the difference between peace of mind and the risk of danger to your home or workplace.

Double Cylinder Deadbolts Vs. Single Cylinder Deadbolts 

Single-sided deadbolts and double-sided deadbolts can be installed for both residential and commercial applications. All deadbolts provide a second measure of security when paired with your standard keyed doorknobs. Deadbolt door locks come in two basic styles: double and single-cylinder. 

Double Cylinder Deadbolt Locks

These types of locks require a key to unlock the mechanism from both the inside and outside. Double-cylinder deadbolt locks provide more security than single-cylinder locks and are especially useful for entryways that have glass near the lock. However, they may require more time to open in case of an emergency. 

Single Cylinder Deadbolt Locks 

Single-cylinder deadbolt locks unlock with either the turn of a knob or thumb turn from the inside of the door and a key that unlocks the door from the outside. In the event of an emergency, these locks allow you to unlock an entryway door and exit quickly since you won't need to take time to locate your key.
