Protecting your home starts with strong door locks and door latches. Choosing the right combination of lock and latch helps keep intruders out and gives you peace of mind. In this guide, we’ll explore types of door locks, highlight Ironmongery World’s quality internal sets, and help you pick the best door lock and latch combination for safety and style.
1. Understand the Types of Door Locks
When choosing security hardware, knowing your lock options matters. Popular types of door locks include:
- Deadbolts: Rugged and secure for main entry doors.
- Mortise locks: Built into the door edge, offering strong locking and reliability.
- Night latches (rim locks): Surface-mounted, auto-locking options like Ironmongery World’s Victorian-style rim lock set—great for convenience.
- Padlocks: Ideal for sheds, gates, or garden enclosures.
2. Prioritize Quality: Heavy-Duty Door Latch Sets
A strong latch is as vital as the lock. A heavy‑duty door latch can withstand force and wear over time. Ironmongery World’s forged iron surface bolts and heavy-duty barrel bolts are designed for robustness and durability, and they perfectly complement deadbolts for ultimate protection.
