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.

KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State baseball slashed 20 hits en route to its second consecutive run-rule victory over Jacksonville by a score of 16-5 on Sunday afternoon inside Stillwell Stadium. The win gives the Owls (22-20, 12-9 ASUN Conference) the series sweep over the Dolphins (25-18, 10-11 ASUN) with three weekends remaining in the regular season.

Kennesaw State Executive MBA ranked best in Georgia, No. 12 in the world

For the seventh year in a row, Kennesaw State University’s Executive Master of Business Administration has been rated as the best in Georgia and among the top in the world, according to the 2023 Global Executive MBA rankings released this week by CEO Magazine.

CEO Magazine ranked the Executive MBA in the Michael J. Coles College of Business third in the country and No. 12 in the world, placing it among the “Tier One” programs for the ninth year in a row.

The magazine classifies programs as Tier One or Tier Two based on factors including quality of faculty, faculty-to-student ratio, international diversity and exposure, class size, accreditation, professional development, work experience, gender parity and instruction methods.

“Anyone who has taken even the slightest look at our executive MBA program understands why it's consistently recognized as one of the best in the world,” said Robin Cheramie, dean of Coles College. “The faculty and staff have crafted a one-of-a-kind program that leverages a team-based approach, convenient scheduling, consistent mentorship, and a multidisciplinary curriculum to create leaders ready to take their organizations — and their careers — further than they ever thought possible.”

About 40 working professionals are enrolled annually in Coles College’s EMBA, which promotes collaboration, decision-making, resourcefulness, ingenuity and entrepreneurship. The program, with classes held approximately one weekend per month for 19 months, offers executive coaching and a customized curriculum for ambitious professionals, including executives, mid-level managers and entrepreneurs.

“Being ranked No. 1 in Georgia is a true testament to the value this program provides our students,” said Thomas Devaney, executive director of the EMBA program. “Our goal is to provide students with the tools they need to advance their careers. Maintaining our top ranking in Georgia is validation that we have created a unique program that is internationally recognized.”

The Executive MBA program is not the only KSU program featured in the CEO Magazine rankings. CEO Magazine ranked KSU’s MBA program a Tier One program and named the online MBA among the best in the world. The magazine also named the Coles College a premier Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) provider in its global listings based on accreditation, quality of faculty, geography and international standing.

Kennesaw State’s DBA program transitioned five years ago to a Ph.D. in Business Administration in which students can pursue concentrations in accounting, information systems, management or marketing.

This year, CEO Magazine included business schools across North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, and ranked data from 121 schools offering 239 different programs in 24 countries — 76 online, 68 EMBA and 95 full-time and part-time MBA programs.

The Michael J. Coles College of Business is one of the largest business schools in Georgia, with more than 8,000 students and 160 faculty members. The Coles College offers bachelor’s degrees in 10 majors with 16 minors, seven graduate degree programs, dual-degree options and executive education programs.

Georgia defeats Kennesaw State in midweek matchup

The Bulldogs (16-13) took a 3-0 lead in the first thanks in part to a pair of Owl miscues. Georgia loaded the bases on a leadoff double by Ben Anderson, Connor Tate was hit by a pitch and then Charlie Condon (3-for-5) laced a single to right to extend his on-base streak to 28 games. With one out, Corey Collins drew a bases-loaded walk. A couple of errors followed as Fernando Gonzalez and Cole Wagner reached on a fielder's choice.

The Bulldogs (16-13) took a 3-0 lead in the first thanks in part to a pair of Owl miscues. Georgia loaded the bases on a leadoff double by Ben Anderson, Connor Tate was hit by a pitch and then Charlie Condon (3-for-5) laced a single to right to extend his on-base streak to 28 games. With one out, Corey Collins drew a bases-loaded walk. A couple of errors followed as Fernando Gonzalez and Cole Wagner reached on a fielder's choice. The errant throws came to home plate and to second base. The Bulldogs left the bases loaded but staked senior Nolan Crisp to a 3-0 advantage.

The Owls (13-14) responded with a pair of runs on three hits in their half of the first to make it a 3-2 contest. The Bulldogs answered with another three-run outburst in the second to chase KSU starter Brayden Eidson following a two-run triple by Collins. It was the second career triple for Collins and made it 6-2. In the bottom of the second, freshman right-hander Leighton Finley was the second Bulldog pitcher to see action as part of a staff night.

Finley (2-0) provided a career-high four innings and allowed just one run on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts for the win. In the sixth with the Bulldogs holding a 6-3 lead, Georgia turned to graduate Dalton Rhadans. He pitched 1.2 innings before being lifted for sophomore Chandler Marsh with a runner at third and two outs in the seventh. KSU left fielder Nick Colina made it 6-4 with an RBI-single and then Marsh struck out Donovan Cash to send it to the eighth. The Owls threatened putting two on via a hit-by-pitch and a two-out walk before Marsh came back to register three strikeouts to maintain Georgia's two-run lead.

In the ninth, the Bulldogs brought in junior Collin Caldwell who walked two and struck out two as part of a scoreless frame for his first save this year and fourth of his career. Eidson got the loss, allowing six runs on five hits in 1.1 innings.

"Leighton Finley was really good," said Georgia's Ike Cousins head baseball coach Scott Stricklin. "The plan was for him to go two innings, and he was efficient so he went back out there for the fourth inning and then the fifth inning too. Dalton (Rhadans) and Chandler (Marsh) had good stuff and got it to (Collin) Caldwell who made it interesting but found a way to get it done."

With the victory, Georgia now has won four straight in the series. The Bulldogs return to Foley Field Friday for the start of a Southeastern Conference series with No. 10 Kentucky (25-3, 8-1 SEC). First pitch will be at 6 pm (SECN+), and the game will be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
