Deadbolt - Definition and Overview

See also: Deadbolt (band), a rockabilly music band


A deadbolt is a special kind of locking mechanism. They are more secure than ordinary key-operated locks because the weight of the locking bar is usually sufficient to increase break-in time to 10 or 15 minutes.
