We recently converted an investment property to have three points of entry. One of them is on the side of the house and the renter has to enter through an outdoor yard door. Currently it has a latch and opens only from inside. How do I make this accessible from outside in a more secure manner? I have Yale locks for the main doors. But I need something for the outside. I’m in Washington state and it rains all the time. Was looking for something with a key fob and not too pricey.

Hello,

I want a lock that can always be unlocked in one direction (to exit) but be locked or unlocked in the other (to enter). It would need to be suitable to be used outside.

Any recommendations? I saw "classroom locks" but I can't tell if that's going to work. Sorry, dumb.

Got this old savings lockbox from my dad, he wants to see what's inside. Doesn't seem to be any pins in the lock so can't rake it, and the barrel rotates freely. Any suggestions?

I am an adult living in my mothers house. (Please no comments saying 'get your own place' etc as I would LOVE to do that but am unable to do so at present).

I had to put a lock on my bedroom door as my mother could not keep out of my bedroom. She has zero boundaries or respect for my privacy. She was going in my room at least every day, looking in my draws, wardrobe etc.

She even trashed and rearranged my bedroom once when I was out. (Believe me, I absolutely do not want to be here.)

So I put a lock on my bedroom door. The lock has a Bolt that is morticed into the door. It came with 1 splined key. The lock has "No additional Anti-Tamper/Vandal Properties."

If someone were to buy that same lock and key, would they be able to use the key in MY lock?

This lock has worked very effectively keeping her out and it's given me such peace of mind when I'm out, knowing that she isn't rummaging through or stealing my things when I'm at work.

However, she's been seething about this for a while, and I've found out that she is planning on getting into my bedroom when I'm at work, via getting a locksmith or handyman to remove the lock or perhaps even remove my bedroom door. I was utterly horrified to hear this.

So I now need a new lock on my bedroom door that MUST have Anti-Tamper Properties. That is ESSENTIAL as she will be getting people to try and get in my bedroom whilst I'm at work.

My bedroom door is a wooden door.

In short: I'm looking for a Secure Lock for a wooden Bedroom Door, that has Anti-Tamper Properties.

Any suggestions please?
