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.

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news about the Kennesaw State University Libraries and invite you to be a part of our journey.

KSU is one of the most dynamic and innovative universities in the nation, and the University Libraries play a critical role in our mission.

I have been at KSU for twenty years, and became Associate Vice Provost of Museums, Archives & Rare Books and University Libraries (MARBL) in November 2023. During that time, I have seen firsthand the dynamic and innovative nature of our institution. As the newly appointed AVP of MARBL, I am thrilled to be leading a team that is making a significant impact both locally and globally.

I believe that the best academic libraries are more than just repositories of information. They are….

To further enhance our mission and promote student success, the KSU University Libraries recently completed a major reorganization. This strategic move has brought together a team of talented professionals who are dedicated to promoting student success and advancing KSU's vision. We have established strong partnerships across campus, the state, and the region, positioning ourselves to become one of the most dynamic and innovative universities in the nation.

As we continue to grow, we are excited to announce that we are in the process of hiring new positions within our team. We invite you to consider joining us on this journey.

By joining the KSU University Libraries, you will have the chance to be part of a thriving community that values collaboration, innovation, and personal growth. We offer a supportive work environment, professional development opportunities, and a chance to make a real difference in the lives of our students, staff, faculty, and community.
