The best lock depends on how much you value security. If you are installing the lock yourself, it is hard to get the correct alignment with the door latch and deadbolt. The best practice is to use a lock that matches the manufacturer’s model. If you are going to install the lock yourself, your best bet would be to buy a lock from Home Depot or Lowe’s, these stores have professional installers and a trained sales staff to help you select the correct model.

Can I install it myself?

The task is not difficult, but you will need basic home-repair skills. Do you have experience replacing a doorknob or fitting a shower curtain? If you’ve performed these tasks, you can probably install a lock with a little practice. I’m confident that you’ll be able to complete the job with good results. However, if you are worried that the task will be difficult, or if you’d prefer that a professional install the lock, it’s easy to hire a locksmith. These professionals will have the necessary skills and expertise to install the lock correctly and securely.
