Double Cylinder Deadbolt Installation
A double cylinder deadbolt requires a key on both the inside and outside -- a common choice for doors with glass panels nearby where someone could otherwise reach in and turn a standard thumb-turn. Call to confirm your door.

Unlike a standard deadbolt with a thumb-turn on the inside, a double cylinder deadbolt requires a key to lock and unlock from both sides -- the main reason homeowners choose one is a door with sidelight glass or a window close enough that someone could break the glass and reach the thumb-turn on a single-cylinder lock. It's worth knowing upfront that some local fire codes restrict or require specific conditions for double cylinder deadbolts on certain exit doors, since needing a key to exit can be a safety concern in an emergency -- we can talk through whether it's the right fit for your specific door and situation. Call with your door type and why you're considering this lock, and we'll confirm whether we can help before any technician is scheduled.
What to have ready when you call: whether your door has glass panels or windows nearby that prompted this, whether this door is a primary exit path, and whether this is a new installation or replacing an existing single-cylinder deadbolt, so we can confirm whether we can help before any technician is scheduled.
