Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a deadbolt, a deadlatch, and a deadlock?

A deadbolt is a locking mechanism that requires manual operation with a key to lock and unlock; it does not automatically lock when the door is closed. In contrast, a deadlatch features a spring-loaded latch bolt that automatically locks the door upon closing, combining the convenience of a latch with the security of a deadlock. A deadlock is a general term for locks that can only be operated with a key, providing enhanced security by preventing the lock from being disengaged without the correct key.

How do I choose between a deadbolt, deadlatch, and deadlock for my home?

Choosing the appropriate locking mechanism depends on your security needs and lifestyle. If you prefer a lock that secures automatically upon closing, a deadlatch offers convenience. For higher security, especially on doors without existing locks, a deadbolt provides robust protection but requires manual locking. A deadlock, which can only be operated with a key, offers enhanced security but may pose an egress risk in emergencies if the key is not readily available. Assess your specific requirements and consult a professional locksmith to determine the best option for your property.

Are deadbolts, deadlatches, and deadlocks compliant with Australian insurance requirements?

Many Australian insurance companies stipulate that properties must have compliant deadlocks installed on external doors to validate coverage. A deadlock is typically defined as a lock that can be secured from both the inside and outside, usually requiring a key to operate. It's essential to consult your insurance policy or provider to understand specific requirements and ensure that your locks meet the necessary standards.

Which is more secure for my home: a deadbolt or a deadlatch?

Both deadbolts and deadlatches offer distinct security advantages. Deadbolts provide robust protection against forced entry due to their solid bolt extending into the door frame, making them highly resistant to tampering. Deadlatches, while offering the convenience of automatic locking, may be more susceptible to certain bypass techniques if not properly installed or if inferior quality products are used. For optimal security, especially in high-risk areas, a deadbolt is often recommended.

Can deadlatches cause accidental lockouts?

Yes, deadlatches can lead to accidental lockouts because they automatically lock when the door is closed. If you exit without your key, you may find yourself locked out. To prevent this, always ensure you have your key with you when leaving, or consider installing a deadlatch with a hold-back function that temporarily disables the automatic locking feature.
