Tubular Leverset
A versatile option available in normal-duty and heavy-duty variants. Normal-duty tubular leversets suit interior residential doors such as bedrooms and hallways. Heavy-duty tubular locks offer greater durability and are better suited for high-traffic commercial settings or entry doors.
Deadbolt Lock
A single-cylinder or double-cylinder bolt mechanism that provides significantly stronger resistance to forced entry than a standard latch. Deadbolt locks are the most recommended lock type for exterior and front doors.
Cylindrical Lock
A lockset designed for installation into a standard cylindrical door prep. Featuring precision-machined parts and a solid, integrated body, it delivers long-lasting performance suitable for both commercial and residential doors.
Crystal Knobset
A round knob mechanism used primarily on interior doors. While convenient, knobsets offer lower security than lever-based locks and are not recommended for exterior applications.
Tubular Knobset
Similar to a standard knobset but housed in a tubular body for easier installation. Typically used on interior doors in residential settings.
Handle Set
A premium lock format that combines a decorative handle with a latch or deadbolt mechanism. Handle sets are commonly used on front entry doors where both aesthetics and security matter.
Indicator Lock
A specialized interior door lock that displays a visual signal (e.g., "occupied" or "vacant") to indicate whether the door is locked. Widely used in bathrooms, changing rooms, and hotel facilities.
Rim Lock
A surface-mounted lock attached to the inside face of a door rather than recessed into it. Rim locks are well-suited for older doors, wooden doors, or secondary security on outward-opening doors.
FAQs
What is the difference between an interior door lock and a deadbolt lock?
An interior door lock—such as a tubular leverset or knobset—primarily provides privacy by preventing casual entry, usually with a simple turn-button mechanism. A deadbolt lock uses a solid bolt that extends into the door frame, offering significantly higher resistance to forced entry. Deadbolts are recommended for all exterior doors and are not typically used on interior doors.
Can I use a deadbolt lock on an interior door?
Yes, but it is rarely necessary. Deadbolt locks on interior doors are sometimes used for home offices, storage rooms, or any interior space where a higher level of security is needed. For most bedroom or bathroom interior doors, a standard privacy leverset or indicator lock is sufficient.
What type of door lock is best for a rental property or Airbnb?
Electronic locks and mechanical password locks are the most practical choices for short-term rental properties. They eliminate the need to manage physical keys and allow codes to be changed between guests. Electronic locks with app connectivity also provide remote access management and entry logs.
How do I know if a door lock will fit my door?
Measure the door thickness, the backset distance, and the bore hole diameter before purchasing. Most residential doors have a 60 mm or 70 mm backset and a standard 54 mm bore hole. If in doubt, check the lock manufacturer's installation specifications or contact the supplier directly.
What is a combo set door lock?
A combo set bundles a deadbolt lock and a latch lock (typically a handle or knobset) in a single matched package. Combo sets simplify purchasing and installation for entry doors, ensuring both the latch and deadbolt share the same finish and style.
