How to Upgrade the Lock on Your Door

If you have an in-swinging door, the door handle is not designed for security, meaning it can be opened from both the inside and the outside. If you want a more secure option, you can find a barrel lock or bolt lock at any hardware store. This type of lock slides closed to secure the door in place, preventing it from being opened. Installation is straightforward, requiring only four simple bolts, and most hardware stores will carry these locks.

Summary:

Inswinging doors typically do not have security features. For added security, consider installing a barrel or bolt lock, available at hardware stores. These locks can be easily installed with four bolts and provide a secure way to latch the door.
