Our detailed buyer\u2019s guide can help if you\u2019re struggling to decide. Read on to discover everything you must consider before purchasing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction material is an essential factor. After all, you want to be sure that your model is tough and can withstand tampering by potential intruders. Strong metals such as steel are the best options, although chrome and die-cast zinc can also be great choices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ease of Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your lock must keep the bad guys out and be simple for you to use to get in. Check the locking\/unlocking process before buying to see if it is straightforward to manage. Some models require a simple key operation, while others use programmed fobs, code inputs or even a smartphone app. Consider whether this method will suit your needs, or you may become frustrated later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Locks are not universally compatible. In many cases, your preferred lock may not be the right design or fit for the door you wish to install it on. Some models may require you to first knock or drill through the wall to mount it. To avoid this, ensure you read up on the installation process before purchasing. Locks that are more complex to fit are not necessarily more secure, and you could save yourself a lot of hassle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corrosion Resistance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For exterior security, go for a door lock made from corrosion-resistant materials to prevent rusting. A rusted lock will not be as reliable and may malfunction, causing you to be locked out or leaving your property vulnerable to intruders. The best options are chrome-plated models that are resilient to the elements for improved durability over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart Integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a smart home, selecting a lock that can integrate with your existing system can be beneficial. These models use the WiFi network to connect to your smartphone and other WiFi-enabled devices, so you can operate your lock from anywhere. This is a good choice if you are often away from home and wish to be able to control access in your absence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our overall winner and Editor\u2019s Choice is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Yale-P-89-DMG-PB-60-Deadlocking-Nightlatch-Automatic\/dp\/B000TAP59W\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Yale Deadlocking Nightlatch (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Yale Deadlocking Nightlatch<\/a>. This model impressed us thanks to its attractive design and ease of operation. The subtle colour is aesthetically compatible with most surfaces, and it automatically locks when the door is closed, so you won\u2019t have to fumble with your keys. The inclusion of a deadlock offers an enhanced level of security, while the easy-to-manipulate snib button makes it simple to manage. It also comes with two keys and all the necessary fixings.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our editors independently research the best products online to produce this list.
