Front door locksets are a type of lock that is installed on the front door of a home. They are usually installed on the inside of the door and can be opened from the outside by turning a key or using a keypad.
Deadlocks are locks that are also installed on the inside of a door. However, they can be opened from both sides, but they cannot be unlocked from the outside without using a key.
Deadbolts for front doors are locks that can only be opened from the outside with a key, but they can also be locked from the inside with just one hand.
Regardless of your security needs, Yale’s range of hinged door lock solutions is ideal for residential and commercial purposes.
The lock is the most important part of your front door. It protects you and your family from intruders and burglars. There are many types of locksets that you can choose from, but the two most common are knob locksets and lever locksets.
Knob locksets are more popular in residential homes because they're easier to use than levers. They also offer a more traditional look for your front door.
Levers, on the other hand, are better suited for commercial buildings because they're easier to operate with gloves on and offer a more modern look for your front door.

Deadlocks increase your protection of your home because they have a locking mechanism that prevents an intruder from being able to open them without a key in deadlock mode. Deadlocks also have an additional locking mechanism that prevents them from being opened with brute force.
Deadlocks are also installed on the inside of a door, with the single cylinder deadlocks having a keyhole on the outside and a turnknob on the inside of the door. This means that you can only unlock it from the outside with a key or by hand on the inside. Comparatively, double cylinder deadlocks have a keyhole on both sides of the door, meaning they can only be unlocked with a key in deadlock mode.
Deadbolts usually have a single metal locking bolt that protrudes from the door and into the wall, which makes it nearly impossible for an intruder to force the door open. Like deadlocks, deadbolts can be a single cylinder or double cylinder depending on your security needs. And Yale’s range of deadbolts is suitable for residential or commercial purposes. It is only recommended to use the deadbolt only at nighttime or if they are not present on the property.
