ANSI Door Lock Grades Explained

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) grading system was developed years ago to standardize a testing procedure to measure the durability and strength of a door lock. This grading system applies to both residential and commercial door locks. Composed of three different grades, the ANSI grading system gives homeowners and business owners a good idea of lock quality and reliability. ANSI examines six different qualities to determine a lock's grade:

Strength Cycles - How many uses a lock can withstand before a replacement lock is needed)
Operational - This refers to a door's ability to latch when it is closed
Security - The effectiveness of the lock's security
Material - What kind of material is the lock made of?
Finish - Satin, nickel-plated, bronze, etc.

Grade 1 Locks

These locks offer the highest level of security and are most often used by institutions like hospitals, schools, and even museums. These locks also have the highest life expectancy, though they can be much more complex and require an expert residential or commercial locksmith in cityname to install. In today's day and age, many more homeowners are opting for Grade 1 locks (like electronic locks) for the most peace of mind. This classification of lock must hold up against 800,000 cycles, six door strikes and a 360-pound weight test.

Grade 2 Locks

These locks are great for residential areas with more foot traffic, like a door that leads to an apartment complex or suite of rooms. These locks can also suffice for small businesses that need a higher level of security than Grade 3 locks. Use these locks when you want to secure access to areas with valuable equipment or sensitive documents. This classification of lock requires 400,000 cycles, four door strikes, and a 250-pound weight test.

Grade 3 Locks

This grade of lock is best suited for residential purposes and is considered standard door hardware. This kind of lock is the least expensive and should never be used in a high-traffic area like a lobby or storefront. However, these locks would be suitable for areas without much foot traffic like storage closets or areas without expensive merchandise. Because these locks are easiest to bypass, consider upgrading your Grade 3 locks with anti-bump and anti-pick technology. This classification of lock requires 200,000 lock cycles, two door strikes, and a 150-pound weight test.

ACWORTH, Ga. - A 63-year-old man was arrested and charged with assault after he was caught on camera hurling racial slurs towards a truck driver outside a Cherokee County McDonald’s.

The sheriff’s office confirms the incident.

"Dumba** n**** that don’t know where to park his f***ing truck," the man on the video said.

The man in the video is seen and heard hurling insults towards a truck driver outside a McDonald’s in Acworth.

"I never thought that it would happen to me," the victim said.

The man didn’t want to be identified but captured the scary moments outside the restaurant on Bells Ferry Road.

"I parked along the curve here. I walked in and grabbed food and as I was walking out he was coming in and he started yelling and cursing," the man said, walking through the events seen on the video.

He says the man was upset where he parked his tractor-trailer.

"Nobody can get around your stupid a**. They can’t get around your stupid a**. I want to knock the f***ing hell out of you in a minute," the man said in the video.

"I brushed it off and walked out and came back to my truck to do an inspection. He came back out continuing to yell using racial slurs," the victim said.

"You want my name? You want my license? It says f*** you n****," the man said in the video.

"I was shocked. With everything going on, I was afraid, actually, and I just didn’t know what was to come," the man said.

The man was able to get the license plate number to give to Cherokee County Sheriff’s deputies who ultimately arrested 63-year-old David McConnell and charged him with simple assault.

"I held the door open for this guy. I smiled at him as he walked in. Any hate he might have had, I thought he would have changed his demeanor," the victim said.

This man says it took a lot not to go off on the man, but he wanted to combat the hatred with peace.

"Instead of resulting to violence, the video can show my restraint, and show there are other ways to handle the situation," the victim said. "I just want people to respect each other."

McConnell was booked into the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center.

Acworth (Ga.) Kennesaw Mountain four-star offensive lineman and Miami commit Connor Lew was honored as an All-American this week as part of the Road to the Dome Series.

Lew shared the moment with his family, coaches and teammates during a ceremony inside his school’s fieldhouse.

Legends of the game include Adrian Peterson and Joe Thomas.

“Just playing with a bunch of guys good at football and competing,” Lew said of he’s looking forward to regarding his own experience.

Lew committed to Miami in August over the likes of Clemson, Auburn and Georgia.

“We’re building great things,” Lew said. “We still have a lot of work to do.

“I was at the Southern Miss game lat weekend. Me and Frankie (Tinilau) were sitting next to each other and we’re excited to get to work there.”

COMMENTS

Lew said the relationship were what separated Miami from his other top schools.

“The coaches in general, the people is what I always say brought me back to Miami every time.”
