Something you may not know is that, when it comes to your lock hardware, your door matters a whole lot more than you think – and, perhaps, in a different way than you may assume.
It’s obvious that, if you’re seeing holes, or if the wood is crumbling and rotting and falling apart, your security is compromised. But did you know that even the alignment of your door – the way that it hangs in reference to the frame – can affect your home security?
If your door is not hanging correctly, or if it has come out of alignment from its original place in the frame, then most likely, your lock hardware is out of place as well, meaning it will not be able to properly latch or close in the place it’s supposed to. This means that, though you turned the latch on your handle, your lock may not actually be engaged…
Or perhaps your deadbolt won’t go all the way into your door frame. This could also be a sign that your alignment is off and that your security is thus compromised. Your deadbolt should be able to slide all the way into its place so that it is functioning the way it was intended to do so, and a proper door alignment can make sure that this happens as it should.
