Hi all,
I've just bought a new oak front door and am thinking about security combined with looks but have hit some confusion about locks.
I'd rather go with a multi point lock over a standard Yale lock for security & insurance reasons but I dont want a handle on the outside; all I want is a long pull handle on the outside with just a key hole visible.
On the inside I dont mind having a traditional lever handle, so could I get away with a lever/pad lock and only install the inside handle? This would be less secure though when I'm out the house as I can only engage the additional hooks/rollers from inside?
Yale have reference to a key wind lock on their website but I can't see this anywhere to buy.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
