Security Difference between deadbolts and doorknobs

Doorknobs and deadbolts are two of the most common types of door locks used in homes and businesses. While both offer security, there are some key differences between them.

Doorknobs are the most common type of lock, and they offer basic security. They are generally easy to install and use, and they are relatively inexpensive. However, doorknobs can be easily picked or forced open, making them less secure than other types of locks.

Deadbolts are more secure than doorknobs and are usually more expensive. They are typically made from stronger materials and have a longer throw, which makes them more difficult to pick or force open. They are also usually installed with longer screws that go deeper into the door frame, making them more secure.
