Yes To Deadbolts

From movies, we have learned that a simple hairpin or a card is enough to open a locked door knob. This is why deadbolts are advisable for homeowners that want extra security features that would leave burglars busy trying to figure out how the contraption works.

According to St. Cloud, deadbolts, unlike knobs, don’t have a spring mechanism but have a bolt that must be activated either with a thumb turn or a key. It is best installed on steel or solid wood.
