So, do people who use something like this just never lock your bottom handle lock? I live in a busy city and lock both to keep my place secure. I'm not sure I would like just being able to lock the deadbolt but not the handle lock.
- RandallBrown 14y agoMy handle doesn't have a lock. I only have a deadbolt. I also have an RFID fob to get in my building and I need to type a code in to my elevator to get to my floor, so I'm not too worried about it.
- bluetidepro 14y agoYeah, that's not too bad but I would still be a bit worried since my place has a door that is accessible from outside. You are lucky with that sort of "double secure" entrance! Haha
- plusbryan 14y agoHaving taken a lock picking course, I can say that one lock is approximately the same security as two - even after 15 minutes of instruction, with the right tools I could unlock most any standard house lock in moments. Home door locks are a deterrent more than anything else, so I'd opt for convenience.
- bluetidepro 14y agoOh, okay. That's actually really interesting, I had no idea. Haha Thanks! :)
- jeltz 14y agoThis is not true everywhere. For example here in Sweden the second lock is usually a lever tumbler lock or some variant thereof. Way harder to pick than pin tumbler locks. What matters is the type of lock, not the number of locks.
