Upgrading a deadbolt
A deadbolt is only as strong as the frame it locks into. Longer strike screws that reach the wall stud, a reinforced strike plate and a bolt that throws its full length all make a real difference. If you are replacing the deadbolt anyway, ask about a higher-grade cylinder and whether one key can operate both the deadbolt and the knob.
File cabinet and desk locks
Office file cabinets and desks usually use small wafer locks that are easy to replace. When the key is lost, a locksmith can often open the cabinet carefully, then fit a new lock or cut a key from the code stamped on the lock face. Keying several cabinets alike makes them simpler to manage.
Duplicating keys and restricted keyways
Standard house keys can be copied at many counters, which is convenient but means anyone holding your key can make more. Restricted keyway systems limit who can cut copies, usually by requiring an authorised card or signature. They suit offices and landlords who want tighter control over who holds keys.
