Dead Locks Locks and Latches (287)
A dead lock or dead bolt is a type of lock that can only be operated by a key, as opposed to a latch or bolt that can be engaged or disengaged by turning a knob or handle. Dead locks are commonly used for doors and provide a higher level of security since they cannot be retracted without a key. This makes them resistant to forced entry methods, ensuring that the door remains securely locked when the key is not in use.
