But let's start with the mounting method. Door locks are cut and overhead mechanical. The former almost do not stand out on the surface of the door array, although they can noticeably weaken the door at the place of fixation. This minus can be avoided if the installation work was carried out correctly. Smeal locks are ideal for armored and metal entrance doors, since the doors reliably close the lock, making it inaccessible to crackers, and the lock reliably locks the door. False locks differ from the mortise outwardly - they stand out on the intra -apartment side of the door.
