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.

AUSTELL, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Dozens of people are without a home after an apartment fire in Cobb County.

Cobb County Fire responded to the Lake Crossing Apartments at 1325 Riverside Parkway in Austell around 11:15 p.m. Thursday night and found an apartment building at the complex engulfed in flames.

“It’s a total loss. We just moved here. It’ll be a week tomorrow man and everything is gone,” said resident Demetris Wyatt.

Officials say 20 units were affected and 59 people are displaced.

A resident told Atlanta News First at the scene that the sprinklers and smoke alarms did not go off.

“The sprinklers never went off, the smoke detector never sounded, only thing that alerted us was the loud noises from the tenants. Thank God they said what they said for everybody to get out because we were about ready to go to bed; the baby was already asleep,” said Wyatt.

Firefighters say these apartments are fairly old so that makes the fire spread quicker.

“It is fantastic that everyone was able to warn the other residents to get out. that way we had no injuries, no fatalities, that was very good,” said Lt. Steve Bennett with Cobb County Fire.

Investigators believe the fire started outside but continue to investigate the cause.

The fire reignited just before 7:30 a.m. Firefighters plan to remain at the scene for several more hours to continue monitoring hotspots.

The fire has reignited here at the Lake Crossing Apartments. Firefighters are getting ready to put their ladders up and start spraying it again. The fire started at 11 last night. @ATLNewsFirst pic.twitter.com/niw4F5PRQI

The Red Cross is at the scene to help those affected.

“I cannot say I know how they feel, I’ve not been through this disaster myself, but I’ve been doing this 15 years and I’ve seen the reaction people have and what I’m doing is just let them know, ‘Hey, we’re there for you and we’re going to help through this and you’re not by yourself,’ ” said Red Cross Volunteer Mike Richardson.

New food bank center targeting another area of major need: Cobb County

It's expected to be open by the end of July at 1605 Austell Road and is hoped to be a lifesaver for the families in and around the Fair Oaks communities

MARIETTA, Ga. — A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday brought much-needed attention to a new food bank opening in the Cobb County community, where organizers said the need is greater than the resources.

Atlanta Community Food Bank said it expects the location to be open by the end of July at 1605 Austell Road and is hoped to be a lifesaver for the families in and around the Fair Oaks communities of Cobb County, just south of Marietta Square.

“This community, the Fair Oaks community just south of Marietta, has a really large Hispanic population,” Kyle Waide, President and CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, said, adding later, "We really designed this location with that community in mind after working with other stakeholders in the community to really zero-in on this location.”

Waide said they look to meet the community where they are and offer culturally relevant foods for the families. He expects that 700 families a week would cycle through the local once it's open.

“We're seeing about 40% more people access food through our network than we did only a year and a half ago,” Waide said, “and at the same time, we're seeing a real big pullback in federal supports for these families."

And still, the bank is looking for ways to make the process easier on families; according to Waide, residents can make appointments to pick up food. This makes it easier to get in and out and not add another hassle to the family's day.

“They’re going be able to call or text to make appointments so that when they show up to get food,” Waide said, “they can get in and out very quickly and really get on to the other things they need to do to support their families."

With prices fluctuating, often towards the higher side, and fewer benefit programs available, Waide said this leads to "more people who are vulnerable and in harm's way." The new food bank center aims to be a bridge to a family’s survival and future.

“They will get access to really high quality, nutritious food at no cost to them,” Waide said. “They'll get connected to other benefit programs. They'll get connected to other community resources. And all in all, that'll help them build more stability and really get on a pathway to a brighter future.”

Waide said it will fill a gap in the food bank’s network in that part of Cobb, where the need is, as the food bank works to expand its network.

“We've got to find a way to get more food into the community to ensure that those families don't fall farther behind,” he said.
