"Half Deadbolt Customer Testimonial"
NOTE: Identity of Consumer Withheld at Their Request
Hello Robert,
A few months ago I had a half deadbolt installed in my front door [by ACME Locksmith] to keep my toddler from being able to open and exit the front door. This device is placed much higher than the regular deadbolt and is only seen from the inside of the house. The intent was to keep the kids in but just a few months later, someone tried to break into my home via the front door (presumably using the "lock-bumping" technique). A key was inserted into the only visible keyhole. It didn't take long for the dog to start barking and alerted us to the situation. The person left. I felt much safer knowing that if they had been able to "pick" our lock, they would have not been able to get in due to this second unseen lock.
Thank you ACME locksmith for recommending this and also pointing out some other safety recommendations while at my house.
Sincerely,
Sharon
Note from ACME:
A single-sided or half deadbolt is a deadbolt that only has one visible side (see photo). On the inside of your home, you lock the deadbolt with a thumb turn, but on the outside of your home, there's nothing. No hole to pick, no lock to bump (What is Locks Bumping), nothing to pry, break or jimmy. It's ACME's top residential security improvement.
