electronic door locks

I have als  seen this advice given, and would usually concur... however,
in
my case, I have a couple of downstairs doors between the lounge &
dining

room t  the hall which are the original Victorian solid timber doors,
they
are nearly 2" thick, and I can barely lift one as they are s  heavy.
These
doors are considerably more substantial than either of my outer doors! -

ain't no way anyone's kicking their way through these! They als  have
very
substantial steel hinges on them, s  they're not going t  be kicked off
the
hinge either. In this case I have fitted a substantial dead lock already
t
one of them, and plan t  d  the same t  other when that door is
reconditioned (I had them both dipped some time ago, but have only got
round
t  reconditioning one of them s  far.) I got my local locksmith t
source me
a several deadlocks that use the same key, s  I will only have 1 key for

about 5 doors around the house.

I would have to agree though, that I will >not< be bothering t  lock
any
of
the internal doors that I have had t  replace with new modern ones, -
those
things are flimsy by comparison!
