Short of turning your home
into a fortress there isn't much
you can do to stop a determin-
ed burglar. But you can make
his task much more difficult
by installing good locks on doors
and windows.
DOOR SECURITY; The accompl-
ished housebreaker prefers a
door because his work is less
noticeable and faster, He can
either force the door open in
a few seconds or 'pick' the lock,
leaving no signs of forcible
entry.
Good door security involved
door and frame; lock bolt;
lock cylinder; key control.
Even the best lock is useless
if the door frame can be forced
back far enough to release the
locking bolt. If you are a
handyman, you can remove the
moulding around the inside of
the door frame to expose the
space between the wall and
frame --usually about 1" wide.
Placing solid blocks of wood in
this section makes it almost
impossible to "jimmy" the door
with a crowbar or 'spreader. '
Doors that are hinged to open
out pose another threat. The
exposed hinge pins can be rem-
oved, allowing the door to be
open on the hinged side. A
locksmith can quickly and in-
expensively drill the hinges and
insert set screws to hold the pins
firmly in place.
LOCK BOLTS:
1. Latch bolts, commonly
called spring latches, have a
wedge-shaped edge and work
on a spring action to lock auto -

matically with no key required,
A latch bolt is usually found on
inexpensive locks and can be
easily opened by a burglar with
a credit card, a piece of plastic
or a metal strip.
2, Dead latch bolts are simil-
ar with the added feature of a
spring -action button or trigger
along with the bolt. Inexpens-
ive versions of this type of lock
usually wear enough that they
can still be opened with a credit
card.
3. Dead bolts provide much
greater security as the bolt can
be moved only with a key from
the outside or a thumb -turn on
the inside, There is no spring
action behind the bold. On a
typical dead bolt lock you must
use the key to lock the door as
you leave --a little less conven-
ient but a lot more secure.
AUXILIARY LOCKS; back up the
lock already on you door. They
vary in strength, design and
size and are usually of the rim
type. A iimple and effective
version often used by businesses
is the vertical bolt lock which
works by a key on the outside
and a thumb -turn on the inside.
NIGHT CHAINS; The non-lock-
ing type can be removed easily
(from the outside; and all types
will give way to a heavy blow
from a shoulder or foot. They
can also be snipped with bolt -
cutters. A safer investment is
the wide angle peephole device
which is inexpensive and simple
to install.
WINDOW SAFETY: The answ-
er is a window lock controlled
by the use of a key. Some types
permit the window to be locked
open a few inches to allow
ventilation, Window key locks
should be used on all ground
floor windows and vulnerable
upper level windows, Consult
a locksmith for advice on prot-
ecting casement windows and
sliding doors.
SAMPLE COSTS; Key- operates
dead bolt - $13.00 plus $13. 00
installation; Window lock - $2.
50 to $15. 00 installation extra.
A recognized locksmith can
recommend the type of locks
you need for the degree of prot-
ection you want.
