Door Locks

The Level Lock + is part of the Door Locks test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Smart Locks models like the Lock + are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Kick-in as sold Resistance to kick-in as sold is how well the lock survived increasingly forceful impacts using the hardware it comes with.

Kick-in reinforced Kick-in reinforced is the same test using an aftermarket Box Strike in place of the included strike or, for surface-mount locks, 3-inch screws; models scoring Excellent as sold were not retested.

Drilling Drilling shows how well the lock stood up to assaults with a drill.
