Locks have grades. There are good grades of locks and there are bad grades of locks. Without getting into specifics, most locks you find for $10 are not the highest grade of locks, unless you got yourself a really good deal!
Homeowners and business owners should be aware of the repercussions of installing cheap, inexpensive locks on their home or building. These discount locks, break down quickly. I am a locksmith, take my word for it. When they do break, and it is almost inevitable that they will, you are going to end up buying new ones. Because they are so inexpensive and cheap, it would cost more to order replacement parts for them. When purchasing a new lock, hold it in your hand. The $10 lock will feel significantly lighter than a heavy duty lock and there is a reason. Less material ultimately means a cheaper price, however less material ultimately means much easer to break into and much more likely to break down. This is YOUR security, and you have one chance to do it right before it becomes an issue.
People wonder if certain brands are better than others and the answer is ?no? with a few exceptions. Is the place your buying your new locks from, a place that should be selling them? In order to get something that will last and work well for years to come, go to a local locksmith or security provider. It?s what they do, take advantage of their services. I just have to reiterate that this is YOUR security and you get one chance to do it right before it turns into a big problem.
