One lock is rarely enough. True home security comes from a layered approach—using different lock types for different entry points. With 17 years of manufacturing expertise, YALIS helps you understand the options and build a complete protection system for your home.
1. Pin Tumbler Cylinder
The foundation of most locks. High-security C-grade cylinders resist picking, drilling, and bumping. Choose this as the core of your main entry lock.
2. Mortise Lock
3. Multipoint Locking System
Locks at multiple points along the door frame—top, center, and bottom. Ideal for main entry doors where maximum security is needed.
4. Rim Lock (Surface-Mount)
Mounted on the door surface rather than inside. Often used as an auxiliary lock for added security on entry doors.
5. Privacy Lever Lock
Standard for bedrooms and bathrooms. Features a simple push-button or turn-button lock on the interior side, with emergency release from outside.
6. Keypad Door Lock
No keys to carry. Enter a code to unlock. Great for rental properties, home offices, or as a convenient secondary entrance solution.
7. Fingerprint Smart Lock
8. Face Recognition Smart Lock
Touch-free access using 3D facial mapping. Ideal when hands are full or for users who prefer the latest technology.
9. Keycard Lock
Common in hotels and offices. Cards can be easily deactivated if lost. Works well for short-term rentals or shared spaces.
10. Padlock & Auxiliary Locks
Flexible, affordable security for gates, sheds, or as a secondary lock on main doors.
How to Build Your Layered Security System
Main Entry Door: Combine a C-grade cylinder with a mortise or multipoint lock. Add fingerprint or face recognition for keyless convenience. A matching door handle completes the look.
Interior Doors: Use privacy lever locks for bedrooms and bathrooms. Passage levers work for closets and hallways.
Secondary Entrances: Consider keypad or smart locks for side doors. A sturdy padlock works for gates.
Complete the System: Your locks work best when the entire door hardware system is in harmony. Ensure your door hinges are strong and properly installed—a sagging door compromises any lock. A well-placed door stopper prevents sudden impacts that can misalign delicate mechanisms.

FAQ
Q: Do I need a smart lock if I already have a high-security deadbolt?
A: It depends on your lifestyle. Smart locks offer keyless convenience, temporary access codes, and activity logs. Many homeowners combine a smart lock with a traditional deadbolt for both convenience and maximum security.
Q: What’s the difference between C-grade and B-grade lock cylinders?
A: C-grade cylinders offer the highest resistance to picking, drilling, and bumping. For main entry doors, C-grade is strongly recommended. YALIS cylinders meet or exceed industry standards.
Q: Can I install a smart lock on any door?
A: Most doors work, but check thickness (usually 35-55mm) and existing hole patterns. YALIS provides compatibility guides and templates to simplify installation.
Q: How do door hinges affect lock security?
A: A loose door hinge causes door sag, misaligning the latch with the strike plate. This weakens security and can prevent the lock from engaging properly. Always maintain sturdy, properly installed door hinges.
Q: Does YALIS offer matching door handles and hinges for complete coordination?
A: Yes. We provide coordinated door hardware collections, including handles, hinges, and stops in matching finishes—so your security system looks as good as it performs.
