What types of deadbolt locks are there?
The single or one-way deadbolt locks can be operated only from the outside and don’t offer a high level of security when you are at home. The double deadbolts can be locked and unlocked from both sides. While this results in higher security, it will be impossible to use the door as an emergency exit if the key isn’t around. The alternative is a deadbolt which can be operated with a key from the outside and with a thumb turn from the inside.
