Decide on the furniture i.e. locks, keyhole, letterbox, door knocker, door
bell, door chain, spy hole, bolts and striking plate/weatherboard and fit accordingly the most
suitable for your door. It is worth remembering that a rim lock is not as secure as a mortise
lock, because it is screwed to the inside of the door and could be forced off. The mortise lock
is fitted in the door itself on the edge. To force this lock open, the door would have to be
smashed. However, for extra security a rim lock or cylinder nightlatch can be used alongside a
mortise lock.
