A deadbolt is a lock designed to provide extra security beyond that of a handle lock. It functions by driving a locking bar mechanism into the door frame to prevent the door from being pushed open even if the knob is turned. Deadbolts are usually opened on the interior of the door by a hand-turned deadbolt, and the outside by keyed entry only. There are many variations on this, but the basic design of the deadbolt remains.<\/span><\/p>\n
