Protect what you love most: How to choose the ideal lock for your home
Introduction
Your home protects what is most valuable: your family, your memories, and your peace of mind. Yet, too many individuals entrust protection to an old, worn-out, or unsafe lock. Choosing the right lock is more than a security decision — it's an investment in tranquility. (ηλεκτρονικοί κύλινδροι)
Below, we tell you how to choose the right lock for your house or apartment based on needs, lifestyle, and even type of door.
1. Why Changing Your Lock Can Change Your Peace of Mind
Many of our customers say they never really thought about their lock… until someone tried to force their door — or succeeded.
A lock is not “just a piece of metal.” A modern, secure lock:
-
Protects your home against forced entry
-
Provides an added element of safety for you daily
-
Minimizes risks for families with children or older adults
-
Gives you control over who comes in and when
A small upgrade can make a huge difference in your everyday peace.
2. What Type of Lock Do You Need?
Mortise Locks
A classic choice.
They are mounted inside the door and visible only at the keyhole, giving a clean and attractive appearance. Newer versions with multiple anchor points offer much better security.
Overlay Locks
Installed on the exterior of the door.
They may not be the most visually appealing, but they are strong and secure — a great option when safety is the top priority.
Multi-Point Locks
The “premium” option.
They secure the door at several points (top, bottom, sides), making forced entry extremely difficult. Perfect for main entrances or high-risk areas.
Electronic or Smart Locks
Increasingly popular in Uruguay, these open via password, fingerprint, card, or cellphone.
Ideal for:
-
People who frequently misplace keys
-
Frequent travelers
-
Families wanting more control and convenience
Some models even notify you when the door opens.
Auxiliary Locks
A secondary lock for added reinforcement.
No need to turn your home into a bunker, but adding a second obstacle can be a powerful deterrent.
3. Extra Tips Before Choosing
Door Material Matters
A lightweight wooden door does not require the same lock as a steel or armored door.
Your Home Setup Makes a Difference
A house on the ground floor requires more protection compared to an apartment on the 10th floor.
Think About Who Lives With You
If children or older adults use the lock daily, a complicated mechanism may not be ideal.
Design Still Matters
Modern locks come in matte black, gold, bronze, stainless steel, and more.
Security no longer conflicts with design — it enhances it.
4. When Was the Last Time You Reviewed Your Home’s Safety?
Most people say, “Never.”
That’s normal… until something happens.
Smart decisions about home security are made before problems arise — starting with updating your lock.
