3 Top Brands for Door Locks

Your door lock might be one of the smallest pieces in your home, but it's also one of the most important. Locks are the difference between keeping all of your stuff safe, and getting all of it stolen right out from under you, and it can even be the difference between life and death if someone with bad intentions decides to try and get in.

So with all of that being said, you can see why the lock that is on your door isn't only important for you and your family safety, but it is essential to it. With that being said, you can see why choosing the right brand and the right lock should be pretty high on the priority list.

Let's look at some of the highest quality and strongest locks that are on the market today so that you can ensure your families' safety as well as keep all of the stuff you worked hard for.

Evva MCS Locks 

This is one of the top known manufacturers and brands in the security industry. Coming out of Austria, MCS locks are extremely difficult to manipulate in any way, and that includes picking, considering there are no recorded successful attempts at picking one of these locks. They even have a full product line that features a magnetic key that needs to be used to move the pins inside of the lock, and we haven't seen any magnetic lock picking tools lately. On top of being pick resistant, they are manufactured to be one hundred percent bump proof as well, meaning no one can use a bump key, a key that is kind of like a tool and is commonly known in the criminal world to defeat traditional door locks.

Kwikset/ Kwikset Smartkey

If you have been in any newer homes lately, you may have seen this brand of lock. Kwikset has been a pretty reliable lock company for years, but they haven't always been known for high security locks. However, some of their newer stuff has shocked some companies in the industry. In particular, we're talking about the SmartKey product line they have put out recently.

This system allows the lock to work in a completely different way and is also bump proof and dang near pick proof. For this lock to be picked would take quite the expert, and even then, they would have to get pretty lucky.

Medeco

Last but certainly not least, Medeco is one of the leaders of high security locks and continues to gain reputation in the industry, every single day. Medeco locks come at a little bit of a higher cost, but it is hard to put a price on certain security. All of their locks have been through rigorous testing including trying to be picked, drilled, bumped, kicked in, etc. and their locks hold steady and true.

Hopefully, you'll find one of these brands right for you and your family! No matter what brand you go with, make sure to do your research on it and maybe even have an expert install it, in order to guarantee proper installation.
