Dear James: I am installing a new front door, so I thought it would be wise to also install a new deadbolt. Are some designs more secure and better quality than others?—Rich G.
Dear Rich: A new deadbolt would likely look nicer and be more secure than an old one. As the tumblers age and wear, it is easier for a thief to pick them. Also talk with your local police department about security suggestions. Even proper landscaping can improve security.
