Orange Locks

A locksmith can supply and install a wide selection of locks, including:

The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-line models will include more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock people indoors.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase your home protection by installing a burglar alarm.
