Front door only has deadbolt.

I currently have the yale keyless zwave deadbolt it works with smartthings but only to lock or unlock and polling of it s status no management of the codes. A standard deadbolt will only have one deadbolt cylinder on the exterior side of the door. They are often chosen for doors that feature windows and glass so the lock is not easily unlocked by a potential intruder. Lock your front door leave home then return within bluetooth range and your front deadbolt will automatically unlock.

Check your existing deadbolt. Any exterior door that only has a lock in the doorknob isn t secure. A secure entry starts with a solid door and a grade 1 or grade 2 deadbolt with a solid 1 in. Double cylinder deadbolts are used when homeowners want a little extra security.

Long throw bolt see buying a deadbolt. A sturdy screwdriver or small pry bar can quickly bow the doorjamb enough to release the latch. Additionally it s just a deadbolt the handle below it is just a latch for the door. On the interior there will be a thumb turn or similar actuator.

A thumb turn allows anyone inside the building to retract or extend the bolt of the lock without using the key. And there isn t enough room to mount an electronic handle.
