Q: How do deadbolts work?

• <div><p>Standard residential deadbolt locks come with a steel bolt that locks your door into place using a key (or keypad) on one side and a thumb turn on the other. When you lock it, the bolt slides into a strike plate on your door jamb to secure your door shut.</p></div>

Q: Can thieves open electric gates?

• <div><p>Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gates</a> are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.</p></div>

Q: How long do keyless locks last?

• <div><p>It depends on the quality of the keyless lock and usage, but in general, you can expect a keyless lock to last around three to five years. The batteries typically last around six to 12 months. The good news is most keyless locks include a low battery indicator so you can receive ample warning if your battery is about to die.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to pick a lock?

• <div><p>The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.</p></div>

Q: Will converting my door to a Dutch door affect security?

• <div><p>It can affect security, especially if you don&rsquo;t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you&rsquo;ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don&rsquo;t sit tight, it&rsquo;s going to be easier to force open.</p></div>
