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.

All homeowners are calling for a jury trial, court records show.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Four more homeowners are now blaming a Smyrna medical sterilization plant for a drop in their property value.

Eric J. Hertz, P.C. Trial Attorneys in Atlanta are taking on the property damage cases. The lawsuits allege the homes' proximity to Sterigenics is not only a health hazard but is ultimately detrimental to their home values.

Documents show that the furthest plaintiff lives 2.7 miles away from the plant located at 2971 Olympic Industrial Dr. SE -- the other three live even closer.

The plant has been under scrutiny for releasing a cancer-causing chemical ethylene oxide into the air for years. Some of the highest readings have been found in Smyrna and Covington, resulting in a wave of lawsuits as children have fallen ill allegedly because of the gas. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has labeled the gas on its list of chemicals that "definitely causes cance r."

As Georgia's facility is believed to endanger the health of residents in its vicinity, more than 100 lawsuits have been filed. This new wave of suits now focuses on the monetary impact of the site's location.

In the Jan. 23 court filings for the Cobb County residents, attorneys cite the Cobb County Board of Tax Assessors devaluing the properties. Appraisers with the county cited the apparent drop in value as partially because of "EPD-identified environment issues" in May 2020, according to tax documents filed within the lawsuits. Attorneys representing the Cobb County residents allege county tax assessors devalued properties by 10% in large part because of the embattled Sterigenics plant nearby.

All four Georgia cases call for a jury trial.

Sterigenics announced on Jan. 9 would settle 870 lawsuits alleging its Willowbrook, Illinois facility exposed residents to the gas and caused illnesses. The settlement is estimated at around $408 million, according to reporting from NBC 5 Chicago.

Last year, EPA officials also required the company's 29 sterilization facilities to report their ethylene oxide releases to the agency. 11Alive has reached out to the EPA for those reports.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Roaches, locked trash rooms and more — several residents who live at an apartment complex for senior citizens say they are concerned about their living conditions.

These pictures were taken inside the Galleria Manor — an apartment complex in Smyrna for senior citizens.

“We don’t want them to come after us. We don’t want to be evicted,” a neighbor told Channel 2′s Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell.

That’s why we’ve distorted the voices of residents who are concerned about their living conditions.

“It’s filthy, the entire building is filthy. You have carpets that are torn,” one neighbor said.

“You have roaches crawling on your walls. You have roaches dead. Laying in the hallways for days for weeks,” another neighbor said.

The neighbors say trash rooms that are located on each floor have been locked for one month.

“The trash has been allowed to accumulate sometimes six days without being emptied,” the neighbor said.

TRENDING STORIES:

They’ve had to take their trash to the outside dumpster, a job that they say a maintenance worker usually handles.

“We have to take our own trash out. We have people who are in wheelchairs and walkers,” the neighbor said.

They say they’ve voiced their concerns to management, but nothing has changed.

“We just want a clean place to live in. These are our final years. Our golden years are filthy?” the neighbor said.

Channel 2 went to the apartment complex and spoke with the property manager. We also received a statement from the company that owns the building.

The company says the trash rooms are temporarily locked because a maintenance supervisor quit without notice.

The dumpster that residents now have to walk to is ramped and is fully accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

[SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

The statement goes on to say that pest control services are available weekly and that maintaining trash and cleanliness inside each resident’s apartment key to preventing unwanted pest issues.

As for building cleanliness, the company says it has team members who inspect the building daily and maintain cleanliness.

A new team member was just hired, and the company expects the building to be cleaned daily.

SMYRNA, Ga. — More than a dozen people have come forward as victims of sex trafficking at metro Atlanta hotels.

[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks]

Channel 2′s Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell was in Smyrna Wednesday, where a lawsuit alleges that sex trafficking took place at a Red Roof Inn off Windy Hill Road in Smyrna as well as three other metro Atlanta hotels.

Eleven victims initially came forward, but now there are a total of 15 survivors. Some of the victims were as young as 16 years old.

TRENDING STORIES:

According to the lawsuit, filed on behalf of nearly 20 women by attorney Patrick McDonough, a front desk employee at the Red Roof Inn said there was never a minute that prostitution wasn’t going on at the motel from 2008 to 2016.

“Their own employees would testify that there would be 10, 15 different girls that were being trafficked everyday,” McDonough said. “Multiple of the clients were at the Smyrna Red Roof hotel, and it’s all the same pattern. Horrific things happened. We have 16 year old children that were literally choked in front of hotel employees”

“We think it’s abundantly clear on all of the public record that the hotel not only should have known about it and (not) turned a blind eye, but had actual knowledge that sex trafficking was going on at this hotel,” McDonough said.

Lawyers initially filed four individual lawsuits in 2019, but since that time, another 11 survivors have come forward.

McDonough said the survivors came forward to try to “change the behavior at the hotels so this doesn’t happen to any other young girls in the future.”

Hotel lawyers have now filed a motion for summary judgement, arguing that the lawsuits shouldn’t be allowed to go forward.

Newell stopped by the Red Roof Inn on Wednesday and was told the manager was not around.

A representative for the Red Roof Inn sent a statement, saying,

“The company will fight these allegations vigorously. We condemn sex trafficking in all forms.”
