Placement of deadbolt on door with glass panes
wrote:
Hello,
I live in a house that approx 45 years old. The rear entry door has
glass panes and does not have a deadbolt. To improve security, I am
planning on installing a deadlock. Since the glass could be broken and
then someone could easily unlock the deadbolt, I was planning on
placing the deadbolt closer towards the floor so that it would be very
difficult top reach. Is there any reason that I should not place the
deadbolt lower?
Buy a double cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on both sides of the
door, and mount the lock at the normal height.
