I’ve always been the type who tends to double-check if the doors are locked. My husband, not so much. He’s really not that fussed about home security at all. When he comes home and I ask, “Did you lock the door when you came in?”, his first instinct is to roll his eyes at his silly wife. [click to continue…]

Who hasn’t forgotten their keys? Or hasn’t been able to find them as they’re trying to dash out of the house? If you’re among the absent-minded, you might want to consider the Schlage Camelot Deadbolt Keypad (well, unless of course you’re so absent-minded that you can’t recall numbers and combinations.

In an era of mass production, flimsy materials, and often dissapointing quality, Baldwin Brass is a breath of fresh air. When I was about 14, I remember going to a locksmith with my mom to pick out a lock for our front door. Baldwin had those cool displays with a functional door knob and lock on what amounted to a really small door (it sat on their order desk). I still remember the heavy, solid feel of the lock, and how it automatically unlocked when you turned the lever from the inside.
Not one to break with fanatical brand loyalty, I recently ordered numerous new Baldwin door levers and locks from a company called MK locks in Texas. They had great pricing, a simple but helpful web site and good service. Baldwin makes serious hardware if you’re determined to keep the boogeyman out of your abode in style.
