The security of your home should be your top priority.  Here are few tips you can do to increase it:

• Immediately replace locks if keys are lost or stolen.

• If you are away from home, keep the doors locked and secured.  It also helps driving off possible break-ins by leaving some lights on.

This is an absolute must for security purposes. In fact traditionally many insurers have made this a requirement for a very good reason. They are burglar proof in many instances if you have taken the trouble to keep the key in a safe place.

With a traditional single cylinder deadbolt, you will be able to lock your door only from the outside. When you have a cylinder and a thumb turn, you will have the opportunity to lock and unlock the door from the inside without using the key. You will just need to use the thumb turn. The third option is a double cylinder deadbolt that can be locked from the inside and the outside using a key.
