Double door security relies on security on both sides of the door. You can push the active side open and slide the deadbolt out of the active door when you pull it open. This type of security can prove to be a good choice for parents who have children, or are wary about allowing strangers into their homes.
Single-sided deadbolts
Single sided deadbolts are an excellent option for homeowners who value privacy and security. Single-sided deadbolts can't be accessed from the outside of doors, unlike traditional locks that are easy to pick or tamper with. This means that only someone with heavy equipment or a key will be able to open them and enter the home.
These locks are ideal for double-doored doors. These locks offer additional protection from picks, bumps and jimmy attack and will keep intruders away from your door. Single-sided deadbolts are also easy to rekey if you have to leave the house for a long time.
When selecting the right deadbolt to fit your home, take into account your family's security concerns. A single cylinder is a better choice if you have small children or live where deadbolts can't be installed. Single-cylinder deadbolts may not be suitable for all doors, including closets and doors with glass panels. These doors are not as secure as double-sided deadbolts.
Multiple positions for cremone bolt locks on the door
A cremone bolt locks the door into the frame. It consists of two spindles that are each half-spindles. Each has a number of holes along its length and at least one pin. The two halves engage with each other to form a cylindrical spindle with a generally circular cross section, and it can be operated from either the inside or outside of the door by a turnpiece.
Cremone bolt hardware is available in different styles and designs. While most have a conventional knob or lock cylinder, some feature a specialized cylinder that allows operation from both sides of the door. These types of locks are comparatively cheap but provide only minimal security and should only be used in combination with other, more efficient locking systems.
Ives flush bolt for double door security
The Ives flush bolt can be used on the inside of hollow metal doors. Alternatively, it can be installed on the top and bottom of a single leaf door. In either case, the edge of the door is inaccessible. The bolt comes in four different finishes. Each of these options has its benefits for security.
There are many types available and all are suitable for fitting in the top and bottom of doors. Once in place, they slide downward or upward into the threshold or jamb of the door to secure it. Typically, this type of bolt is used on double doors.

How do I decide between the different types of home security system?
You need to assess the level of threat in your community. For example, if there's a lot of crime in your neighborhood, then you might want an alarm that will sound when someone enters your property. You may not require as much security if your home is in a rural area with few burglaries.
Also, consider whether you are willing to pay extra for additional features. Some systems have cameras built in while others do not. Some systems let you remotely monitor your house, while others require you being physically present to view the footage.
Do motion sensors have alarms
Motion sensor alarm systems have been around for decades, and they have become increasingly popular due to the rising number of break ins and thefts. These devices are expensive and don't work well in cabinets. If you are looking to protect your home from potential intruders, a motion sensor alarm system might be worth considering.
Can I install a security camera by myself?
Yes! If you know how to install an alarm system, you can do it yourself. If you don’t have the skills to do it yourself then you can hire a professional to help you.

How to test a home alarm system
How to test a Home Security System
Installing your alarm monitoring software on your computer is the first step. You can download the most current version from manufacturer's website. Next, set up your phone number to allow monitoring centers to route calls directly to your number. If you don’t know the right way to do this, your local service provider can help you. Now you can start testing once everything is in place.
There are two main ways you can test your system. The first is to use a dummy. This is basically a fake device that looks like a real one. It doesn't function as well as the real device. The sound it makes when it turns on is identical to the real thing, if it was functioning properly. But there are some disadvantages to using the dummy. The first is that it doesn't reveal anything about your system's functionality. People who see it sat around might find it suspicious. Third, it might be stolen and cause trouble.
The second method is to test your system manually. This is where you examine every part of your system to ensure that it functions properly. Check to make sure that motion sensors, cameras, door locks, and other devices are working correctly. Make sure that you test all of these things at least once per week. Once you have tested everything thoroughly you can be confident that your system works well.
