Conventional door locks:

Locksmiths generally feel the conventional door locks as butter and bread. It will not be an overstatement to say that conventional door locks have been the cornerstone of residential security. In the present situation, there is a wide range of locks available for homeowners to provide different levels of security. Right from the creation of electronic locks, the term “conventional door locks” is being used. The term is used for denoting the classic deadbolt and cylinder locking mechanism. Apart from being used in home security, these kinds of locks are also used in light commercial applications. They do not contain any automatic function and they are generally operated manually. The mechanical function that locks and unlocks the door is either activated with the help of a traditional key or with the help of a thumb lock or push-button lock.
