LOCKS

  • Locks which have the keyhole in the knob are not reliable; they can be easily forced from the outside.

  • Install 1-inch deadbolt locks on all exterior doors. Caution must be used when installing double-cylinder locks on emergency exits.

  • Padlocks should be of good quality with heel-and-toe locking.

  • Key control is important. If keys are lost, or new owners or tenants have moved in, locks should be changed.
  • Don't hide keys outside
