The decision on whether to have your locksmith install a mortise, deadbolt, or keyless lock is an individual one. It is important to know the benefits of each type of lock to determine which makes the most sense for your particular situation. There are advantages to each type of lock, and a NYC locksmith can help you determine which choice makes sense for your building.

A mortise lock requires more work on installation than other locks. This lock includes a pocket that is cut into the door where the lock is fitted. They are generally found in older buildings, although they are becoming more popular in upscale new constructions.

A deadbolt lock adds an extra layer of security to doors. The door cannot be unlocked without rotating the lock in the cylinder. This makes it more secure than a traditional spring bolt lock, and deadbolts are often added as a second lock on doors with a spring bolt lock.

The fact that keyless locks don’t require a key is only one of the reasons they are so convenient. Rentals and businesses with key-less locks can have the code changed quickly and easily at any time, which is much more straightforward, and less confrontational, than collecting keys from individuals who no longer need access to the building. Keyless locks are available with deadbolt and mortise fittings.
