Door Locks and Handles Ideas

Door locks are used to secure your home from unwanted intruders. They are designed to make sure that no one can enter your home without your permission. This is done using a lock method. You have probably seen many different types of door locks at some point. Some of these include deadbolts, push-button type knobs, and lever handles. Handles are used to help open doors. There are two common types of catch designs: pull-type and push-type. Pull-type handles require a person to grab hold of it and then pull down to open the door. Push-type handles require a user to push down on them to open the door.

Lock - A lock is a device that protects something. In this case, it is securing a door from being opened. There are many different types of locks, but the two most common are deadbolt locks and keys loaded in the spring. Deadbolts are generally heavier than spring-loaded locks, but they can't be easily picked.

Handle - A handle is a grip or a way to hold onto something. In this case, it is a handhold for someone to grab onto to open a door. This could be a doorknob, lever, or knob.

Lever - A lever is a tool used to lift heavy objects. Levers are usually held in place with a hinge or pivot point. They move back and forth when they are pushed down or pulled up.

Spring - A spring is a type of elastic material that returns to its original shape after having been stretched or compressed. Springs are commonly used to help keep things upright.

Keyhole - A keyhole is a small opening that allows a person to insert a key into a lock. When the key is inserted into the keyhole, you unlock the lock. 

Doorknob - A doorknob is the part of a door that holds it closed. It consists of a hole where a key goes through to turn the lock.

Deadbolt locks are designed to prevent entry into a building. These are commonly used in homes and businesses. A deadbolt lock has a bolt that slides back and forth from side to side. When locked, the bolt extends outwards preventing anyone from entering. Lever handles are similar to the deadbolts but they have a lever instead of a bolt. The lever is pushed towards the inside of the door to unlock the door. Then, the lever is pulled outwards to allow access. Knob handles are small round buttons that are attached to the outside of a door frame. They typically only work if someone pushes directly against them. Tumbler locks are designed to prevent people from opening a door that has been locked shut. To do this, the tumblers are set inside the lock casing. Each tumbler has a unique number and when the correct combination is entered, the tumblers line up and unlock the door.
