- Single vs Double Cylinder Deadlocks – Which Is Better for Your Home?
Not all deadlocks are created equal. When choosing the right one for your home, it’s important to understand the difference between single and double cylinder deadlocks. Both offer excellent security, but they suit different needs and entry types.
A single cylinder deadlock features a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. It’s ideal for main entry doors where you need to exit quickly in case of an emergency. However, it may not be suitable for doors with nearby windows, as an intruder could reach inside and unlock it.
A double cylinder deadlock requires a key on both sides. This type provides higher security, as even if someone breaks a nearby window, they can’t unlock the door without a key. It’s perfect for back doors, garage entries, and doors with glass panels.
Fast Locksmiths Cranbourne supplies and installs both types of deadlocks from trusted brands, ensuring compliance with Australian safety standards. Our team can assess your doors and recommend which model best suits your home’s layout and security requirements.
We also offer combination installations, where single cylinders are used on front entries for safety, and doubles are used on secondary doors for enhanced protection.
Whichever style you choose, professional installation is key. Call Fast Locksmiths Cranbourne for reliable, expert deadlock installation and advice on the best security options for your property.
