Lock Question?

[TheSpecialist]

Larry the boxes will have a code on them. This way you can pick through the lock sets and get as many keyed alike as you want. They probably have 20 different codes per store. If you really wanted to , you could hang around the store all day and wait for someone to but a set with the same code as you then follow them home. Besides if someone already has a key that will fit your new front door lock what difference does it make if both use the same key. Less keys to have to carry, and if someone really wants to break in they will key or no key.

Yeah...thanks Bill...just found it odd is all...putting dead bolts on too! And wiring the house to explode if'n someone breaks in!

And after you get done figuring out how to make your doors impossible to get into, think about all your glass windows. Without an alarm there is no way to keep people out if they any desire to get in.
I hope you did'nt get deadbolts that are keyed on the inside, if there was an emergency, fire or whatever, would you be able to open them?
A friend of mine managed an apartment complex in Jersey, had a unit with door and window alarms that they broke into without setting off the alarms. They cut thru the vinylsiding and nonstructural sheathing with a utility knife and were in in a couple of minutes.
Your neighbors and neighborhood are your best security.

Nope...deadbolts have an interior latch/knob.

look at it this way . If someone wants to get into your house , no lock or deadbolt is going to keep them out . A lock is only a device for a peace of mind for the home owner .
Or if they have a black hawk handy then nothing matters .
Like Specialist said they sell keyed alike sets .

Larry when you shop for locks if you look on the package you will see a number. If you buy packages with all the same numbers the locks will use all the same keys.
