Digital Lock: are they safe?

Common digital lock are normal, in terms of locking strength. Which is single bolt with a latch.

But there are higher security version, with TRIPLE BOLT, like this.

Just in case you do not have some common sense, more bolt means it’s harder to pry/ kick open. A single straight bolt, can be said is 100% pryable.

Single straight bolt mortise locking system originates from Britain. A country which we know, comparable if not better than our neighbour Singapore. So safe. Just need to lock it for privacy purpose. Rarely you heard of a burglary case there, although it do happen sometimes. They just want a durable lock, with some safety. So there come a straight bolt mortise lock.

In Malaysia? People kick, pry, break, cut, bent, rob. You can’t compare UK lock to Malaysia lock. Because we need higher level of security. Much higher.

So double bolt will do better, and triple bolt the best. For Main Door, better add another lock on top of a main lock, be it digital or not. 

If you do have some extra budget, get the one with hook. Even stronger than triple bolt.
