The deadbolts and levers were basically plug and play and lined up perfectly with the existing strike plates and door jambs, making it an easy home improvement project to increase our security.Īfter all of the locks are installed you simply choose a key to use as your master then use that to re-key all of the locks to.

Our DIY home improvement plan was to add double-cylinder locks to our three exterior house doors as well as to our separate studio and garage. We’ve had great success with Kwikset’s SmartCode keyless entry system, and we really love the new Kevo smart lock, but our solution was a bit more low-tech but just as effective. What is a double key deadbolt lock Double Cylinder Deadbolts have a cylinder on one side and another on the other side. This all adds up to some compelling reasons to change our locks. We also don’t think our landlord ever changed the lock when the old tenants moved out, so who knows how many people have a key. It’s an extra bit of home security that can make a world of difference between a robber only getting as far as breaking a panel of glass, to them being able to open the door and walk out with as many belongings as they can carry.Īnother concern is that we have lived in this house for six years and over time we have provided multiple house sitters, dog sitters, and neighbors with copies of the key. To remedy this we wanted to do a simply DIY fix by adding double-cylinder locks to every exterior door, which require a key to lock and unlock from both the inside and outside. The doors are great as they let in a lot of light but the glass would be easy to break, and then with a twist of the lock from the inside a thief could get in. We’ve added motion-sensing outdoor lighting, put our indoor lights on timers and raised the height of our backyard walls, but our French doors in the backyard are a liability. We’re not paranoid, but there have been break-ins in the area and we want to make sure our home doesn’t become another statistic. We love our 1920’s bungalow but it leaves much to be desired when it comes to home security. Disclosure: Kwikset has provided complementary products to Charles and Hudson for review purposes.
