Do I Really Need a Deadbolt on My Matthews, NC Home?

Knob locks alone are easy to defeat — a swift kick can shear the latch. A deadbolt extends a solid metal bolt deep into the door frame, making forced entry on Matthews, NC homes much harder.

Look for ANSI Grade 1 (commercial-grade) or Grade 2 deadbolts. Pair them with 3-inch screws into the frame stud and a reinforced strike plate — our locksmith installs both during every Matthews, NC deadbolt job.

Single-cylinder deadbolts are standard for Matthews, NC homes. Double-cylinder (key on both sides) is only needed near glass — and check local fire codes first.
