Ballard Lock & Key

Locks on homes and buildings are there to keep people and property protected and safe, but a lock is only as secure as the latch is. Latch guards protect the latch by covering the gap between the lock and frame. The best latch guards make it impossible for people to try to manipulate the latch and open the door by sliding a credit card or thin piece of metal between that gap. Even if the latch is protected a motivated criminal can pry the door away from the frame. Astragals cover the gap between the door and the door frame making it much more difficult to pry the door away from the frame. The best astragals also make it very difficult to manipulate the lock’s deadlatch with something like a knife or screwdriver. Adding astragals and lever guards will keep the entry and exit points secure, giving you the protection you need and the piece of mind you deserve. After many years of installing and replacing failed astragals and lever guards, we’ve learned a lot. This is why we’ve developed our own line of heavy duty stainless steel astragals. One of the most important differences is our high-quality astragals interlock with the door jam, which makes it almost impossible to breach. We also keep a large inventory of different shapes, sizes and finishes so we can respond to emergency situations and do the installation the same day. We also have some of the best pricing for what we know is a superior product, the best service, and same day installation. Call us today, get a quote!
