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.

Stone Mountain is in the news a lot. And not just for controversy, it’s host to many of the region’s great events.

How much do you know about the big hunk of rock?

1. The historical carving on Stone Mountain is the world’s largest bas-relief sculpture and features a trio of Southern generals and their horses: Jefferson Davis on Blackjack, Robert E. Lee on Traveler and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson on Little Sorrel.

2. Robert E. Lee’s likeness measures the equivalent of nine stories.

5. Stone Mountain Park is home to the world’s biggest portion of exposed granite.

6. By calculated “guestimate,” Stone Mountain weighs more than 1 trillion pounds.

7. Granite originally mined from Stone Mountain appears all over the world from places like the Georgia Capitol building to the U.S. Capitol to the Panama Canal and Fort Knox. Frank Lloyd Wright also put it into use for Tokyo’s Imperial Hotel. Because it was constructed of granite, the hotel was one of just a few buildings that made it through the 1923 earthquake.

8. Workers in the granite quarry were skilled stonecutters from countries such as Scotland, England, Wales, Sweden, Norway and Italy.

9. The mountain measures more than five miles around at its base.

10. On a clear day, you can see more than 40 miles from the top of the mountain.

11. The natural district, the undeveloped area of Stone Mountain Park, is home to a Covered Bridge built in 1892 and originally spanned the Oconee River in Athens.

12. The Washington W. King bridge is one of four surviving structures which the King family, prominent in the Black business community in several Georgia cities in decades past, was responsible for constructing.

19. Shrimp live on the top of the mountain. The depressions there gather water seasonally, and shrimp inhabit these pools from spring to fall when there’s enough water. They leave tiny eggs in the soil when the pool dries up, and their young are able to hatch when the area receives adequate rain again.

20. The park is a natural habitat for a variety of animals, insects, reptiles and birds, including fox deer, hawks, coyotes, woodpeckers, turkeys, raccoons, salamanders and snakes, along with numerous fish species in the park’s manmade lakes.

21. A variety of plants can be seen throughout the seasons. They include trout lilies in late winter and ephemeral species that grow for a short time in the forest understory in spring. Lichen species grow on the granite and can wear away depressions, allowing for soil to gather and support moss, then plants and finally, trees.

22. The confederate daisy is also called the “Stone Mountain yellow daisy” because it is only found in a 60-mile radius of Stone Mountain. It was discovered as a new species in 1846. After a rainy spring and summer, the mountain is scattered with the flowers, which grow on the granite outcrops in shallow soil.

23. Stone Mountain Lake is manmade and covers 323 acres.

ATLANTA — Stone Mountain Park, originally created as a Confederate memorial, now features a historic covered bridge named in honor of the 19th century African American who built it.

The Stone Mountain Memorial Association rededicated the Washington W. King/College Avenue Bridge during a ceremony late last week at the site of the bridge on the back side of the 3,400-acre park.

King, the son of a freed slave, engineered, designed and built the bridge in 1891 to cross the Oconee River in Athens, connecting College Avenue and the University of Georgia with the more rural regions of eastern Clarke County.

Floods damaged the wooden bridge on its moorings in 1910 and again in 1961. The bridge was then replaced with a concrete and steel crossing, and the old bridge was set aside on the banks of the Oconee.

The Clarke County Commission later donated the bridge to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association for $1, and it was disassembled and relocated to the park.

“We promised additions here at Stone Mountain Park, and though this bridge has been with us almost from the beginnings of this state park, its story needed retelling and refocus, which is happening here today,” the Rev. Abraham Mosley, the Stone Mountain Association’s board chairman, said during Friday’s rededication ceremony.

The association has successfully submitted the bridge for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The board also has formally renamed the .8-mile trail encircling Indian Island on Stone Mountain Lake as the King Trail.

The bridge and trail are part of a broader plan to deemphasize Confederate imagery at a park dominated by images of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson carved into the side of the mountain.

The board adopted a new logo for Stone Mountain Park last year that depicts the southern face of the mountain away from the carving.

Work also is underway on a museum exhibit aimed at giving visitors the full context of the park’s history, including its hosting of the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan in 1915.

Historical markers soon will be in place at both ends of the bridge.

Georgia Lawmakers Fighting To Remove The World's Largest Confederate Monument

State legislators in Georgia introduced House Bill 794 to remove the official designation of Stone Mountain as a Confederate memorial, and delete the word “Memorial” from the official title of the...

State legislators in Georgia introduced House Bill 794 to remove the official designation of Stone Mountain as a Confederate memorial, and delete the word “Memorial” from the official title of the park.

Stone Mountain, located in Georgia, is the largest Confederate memorial in the world. The monument stands 400 feet above ground, and is carved 42 feet deep, “with figures of General Lee, General Thomas ‘Stonewall’ Jackson and President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis [that are] larger than the presidential visages of Mount Rushmore.”

HB 794 would change the name of the overseeing body to “Stone Mountain Park Association” from “Stone Mountain Memorial Association, and “would remove the requirement for the association to stock and sell Confederate memorabilia at attractions such as Memorial Hall or the Skyview gift shop…However, the biggest change would be the removal of the requirement to preserve the…[figures] on the front of Stone Mountain.”

State Reps. Omari Crawford, Billy Mitchell, and Mary Margaret Oliver introduced the bill, and all 16 members of the DeKalb County delegation have co-sponsored the legislation.

In a statement, Mitchell said, “We have been waiting too long for action by the Stone Mountain Memorial Authority to act on needed changes to the false history of the park and the carving…We do not understand the delay and wish to set forth the changes that we see as necessary.”

“I’m a proud product of DeKalb County, and Stone Mountain was integral to my development…The diversity of DeKalb County is an under-amplified gem in the great state of Georgia. Our ability to work together, despite of our diversity, is what makes DeKalb County unique. Honoring any Confederate history in an area with so much diversity is inconsistent with DeKalb County’s present-day values. It is time that our park reflects our evolution, said Crawford.

As Oliver stated, “I am a native of Georgia and DeKalb County, and Stone Mountain has been a part of all the stages of my life…The park is an important asset for our county and state and enjoys enormous popularity and use. As such, the park needs to change its statutory history of honoring the Confederacy and adherence to a ‘lost cause.’ This legislation is consistent with recommendations from other groups and historians who wish to set forth a more accurate history of the Stone Mountain Park and its carving.”

For critics of this bill with claims of needing to preserve history, interestingly enough, Stone Mountain has little to no historical significance as it relates to the Civil War—it was not even a battle site. But in 1915, the United Daughters of the Confederacy hired a sculptor to design a colossal monument to the Confederacy, coinciding with The Birth of A Nation movie’s debut, which “glorified the Reconstruction-era Ku Klux Klan and Stone Mountain played a key role in its resurgence, marking its comeback with a cross burning atop the mountain on Thanksgiving night.” Fifty-seven years later, the sculpture was finally completed in 1972.

The timing of this bill is not inconspicuous—the host city for the Democratic National Convention next year has not yet been announced, and some pundits believe that Atlanta is not leaving anything up to chance that could jeopardize its position.

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA– Featuring more than 350 artists from across the United States, Stone Mountain Park’s 54th annual Yellow Daisy Festival will take place Sept. 8-11.

New in 2022, will be theYellow Daisy Vintage Village. Located within the lower meadow of Yellow Daisy Festival, vendors from across the globe will showcase antiques, vintage collectibles, and amazing farmhouse chic home goods and décor.

The Yellow Daisy Festival gets its name from the September blooming of a special type of yellow daisy, which only grows within 60 miles of Stone Mountain. First discovered in 1846, Viguiera Porteri, grows in bright bands of yellow on the granite outcroppings of the mountain.

The first Yellow Daisy Festival took place at Stone Mountain Park in two picnic pavilions. Over half a century later, it is the Southeast’s largest outdoor arts and crafts festival with more than six acres of art, crafts, music, and food to explore.

More than 350 festival crafters and artists are selected from a pool of applicants by the Yellow Daisy Festival jury to display their distinctive handmade work in categories including pottery, fabric, painting, jewelry, sculpture, fiber, photography, fine arts, and traditional arts and crafts.

There will be a book signing opportunity with author Stacy West, 57 Buttermilk Acres: Mixing Vintage & New for a Cozy, Inviting Home. Discover how West creates layers of cozy home décor in settings large and small, mixing vintage finds with new favorites, for a rich blend of style and functionality.

During all four days of the festival, guests can watch live entertainment on the stage, including DJ Chico, New Orleans Jazz, Yacht Rock, Gospel, and Country. An all-new beer garden will offer a place to rest, relax, and refresh before venturing out to discover more hand-crafted wares. Food trucks and festival food will be on hand as well to satisfy any cravings.

The next generation of festival fans can enjoy activities such as sand art, face painting, balloon artists, and more.

Located this year back in the park’s Special Events Meadow, admission to the festival is free with paid parking ($20 for one-day permit or $40 for unlimited annual parking). Festival hours are: Thursday, 7:30am – 5pm, Fri – Sun, 9am – 5 p.m., Sept. 8 – 11.
