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.

Powder Springs' downtown dreams
Kristal Dixonhttps://www.axios.com/local/atlanta/2022/11/22/powder-springs-develops-new-downtown-georgia
...
Business has been "up and down" for Stacey West since she opened Suga's Cheese Shoppe & Cafe, a restaurant known for its pimento cheeses, in December 2021 in downtown Powder Springs.
What's happening: The city of about 17,000 people has a plan to attract people to its central business district through new developments, and West hopes it will give her restaurant and other small businesses the boost they need to survive in the grouchy post-pandemic economy.
Why it matters: As metro Atlanta's population experiences steady growth, suburban cities like Powder Springs are exploring ways to transform sleepy downtowns into destinations.
Details: The plan, which Powder Springs has been working on since early 2021, involves the city purchasing property and entering into public-private partnerships with developers who would build mixed-use options like retail shops, offices and residential uses.
What they're saying: Marsellas Williams, the city's economic development director, told Axios that the city envisions having more density that could support new and existing downtown businesses.
Get oriented: Powder Springs is about 20 miles west of Atlanta. It's mostly a residential city, with several small businesses housed in brick buildings along Marietta Street, downtown’s main thoroughfare.
The other side: Of course, people have raised concerns — mostly on social media — about the planned apartments.
Zoom out: Suburban communities across the country, which for a generation were built around mega shopping malls, now focus on reinventing downtowns and strip malls, commercial corridors, office parks and other "automobile-oriented" properties, said Ellen Dunham-Jones, professor and director of the Master of Science in Urban Design program at Georgia Tech.
Yes, and: Mayor Al Thurman told Axios that when he was first elected to the City Council, consultants said the city needed more "people to live in the downtown in order for those local businesses to survive."
Jake Hardy, co-owner of Rooted Trading Co., which sells local, handmade items, outdoor gear and rents bicycles, told Axios he's excited to see the changes.

The Powder Springs resident is honored as a Humana Game Changer for inspiring others with her passion for staying active.

|Updated Tue, Aug 8, 2023 at 10:41 am ET
The National Senior Games, presented by Humana, is the largest multi-sport event in the world for people aged 50+. Ever since the first Games in 1987 in St. Louis, the National Senior Games has sought to motivate adults to lead active, healthy lifestyles.
The 2023 National Senior Games, held in Pittsburgh, included nearly 12,000 athletes from across the country competing in 21 unique sports.
Since 2013, Humana has recognized outstanding athletes – those who exemplify active aging and provide encouragement, motivation, and inspiration for people of all ages to pursue lifelong health – as Humana Game Changers.
Today, Patch is shining a spotlight on Loretta Turner, 68, from Powder Springs, who won a gold medal in the women’s 50-meter dash and a gold medal in the women’s 100-meter dash at the National Senior Games. Not only does she love competing in track, but she is also passionate about inspiring and motivating others to be active no matter their age.
Below, Loretta talks about competing in the 2023 National Senior Games and shares advice for other seniors looking to stay active.
Answers have been edited for clarity and length.
How long have you been participating in this sport and how did you get started?
I have been participating in track ever since I was a child. My father got me started in running track.
Can you describe any challenges, health or otherwise, that you had to overcome in order to compete in the National Senior Games?
I had many challenges with my health that I had to overcome for me to compete in the National Senior Games. I suffer from Crohn’s Disease, and it will flare up when I least expect it. I have to push myself through it and don't get upset with myself if I can't complete a workout. I just try again another day.
You were one of 28 athletes selected from the thousands competing at the 2023 National Senior Games for the national honor of being named a Humana Game Changer. Can you tell us more about this honor and what it means to you?
Being selected as one of 28 out of thousands competing at the 2023 National Senior Games is an honor to me because I'm being recognized for doing something that is my passion.
Why is living a healthy, active lifestyle important to you?
Living a healthy, active lifestyle is important to me because I think it enhances my physical and mental health. Running reduces my stress.
What advice do you have for people wanting to be more active who feel like they don’t know where to start?
I would advise anyone who wants to get started being active to start by talking it over with your doctor. It is never too late to start. Make a plan and set some realistic goals.
Please tell us about your experience competing in the 2023 National Senior Games. What was the best part?
My experience competing in the 2023 National Senior Games was exciting and fun. I got to compete with other seniors my age that have the same passion for the sport. The best part was being a Humana Game Changer and winning my races. I hope I can be an inspiration to other seniors to get up and keep moving. God is not through with you yet!
Congratulations, Loretta, on your athletic achievements and helping motivate other seniors to lead healthy, active lifestyles!
More about Humana: Since 2007, Humana has sponsored the National Senior Games and celebrated senior athletes with the NSGA. Specifically, Humana supports the National Senior Games’ mission to keep active adults healthy through education, fitness and sport.
Atlanta's own Coco Gauff poised to make history at US Open final, her coach reflects on her journey

Gauff's former coach, Jewel Peterson, reflected on her success and impact on young Black players
POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. — Atlanta's very own Coco Gauff is poised to make history on Saturday, as she competes in the U.S. Open final, cementing her status as one of the youngest players to reach this milestone since Serena Williams in 1999.
Gauff's former coach, Jewel Peterson, spoke about the 19-year-old's incredible journey and what it means for the next generation of tennis players. Peterson's passion for tennis has deep roots and she considers it a family tradition.
"When I tell you I love coaching, I absolutely love it," Peterson said smiling. "When I'm having a really bad day, I get out on the court, and all of a sudden, I'm excited about life again."
Peterson's love for the sport began at a young age, thanks to her father's guidance.
"My dad taught me at a very early age. I started playing when I was four years old and loved it from the start," she recalled.
Today, she channels that passion into coaching the next generation of players and one former pupil holds a special place in her heart.
"When people ask me about coaching Coco, I tell them it was a coach's dream," Peterson said.
Gauff, an Atlanta native, is set to play in her first U.S. Open final this Saturday.
"I'm going to be watching. And I'm going to have a front row in front of my TV. Okay, I know. I am super excited to watch her play," Peterson exclaimed.
Gauff's journey at the U.S. Open has been remarkable and she is now one of four Black players to reach the quarterfinals at this prestigious tournament. This achievement highlights her exceptional talent and the growing diversity in tennis.
However, Gauff isn't the only Georgia tennis pro that Peterson knows and has coached. She mentioned another rising star, Chris Eubanks, who grew up in her father's academy.
"Chris grew up in my dad's academy, and my father was one of Chris' early coaches. To have been a part of that, it's extraordinary," Peterson said.
Reflecting on the changing landscape of tennis, Peterson emphasized that moments like these were once considered rare. However, she hopes that this trend continues for Gauff, Eubanks, and the young athletes who will follow in their footsteps.
"I think it's so, so, so impactful. I know now that so many players are being inspired by their success," she added.
Peterson expressed her confidence in Gauff's abilities and believes that she can clinch victory in the U.S. Open final as long as she maintains a resilient mindset and executes her strategy effectively.
As the world eagerly anticipates Gauff's historic appearance in the finals, her journey serves as a source of inspiration for tennis enthusiasts and aspiring athletes alike.
