Installing Group 2 as Front Door Lock

[kld1648]

Just for fun...

Has anyone seen an old safe lock installed on a front door (residential)? Or performed this mod?

Ways to modify bolt mechanism to provide beefier engagement?

Thought experiment. Novelty. May try it someday. Input appreciated.

Have seen it done on a steel office door. With a steel door and a steel frame, I can't see a real need to reinforce it.

There are products like this from S&G:

I believe there is also a version based on the 8500 and locks of this type can be found on ebay.

Have one of those in my collection. They are used by the military in some secure areas. Most I have seen have used the Kaba Mas X-09 or X-10 lock.

Neat. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Building a cabin soon... This seems like a fun way to open the front door. Probably complement it with a standard deadbolt or similar... but the novelty factor is right up my alley.

I put a digital combination safe lock and mechanism on my kids bedroom door to mess with them. They were not amused. Smart though. They just took the door off the hinges nd gotten anyways!

See, next time you'll remember to add the security hinges as well.

It was moron exercise to keep them thinking on their feet. Security hinges in our house are only on exterior and safe room(S).The kids installed them

Ah, I see. Like an escape room but in reverse.

I've seen group 1 locks on govt secure sites, but there the doors and other access points are hardened. A group 2 lock would be fun, but your wife or girl friend might just see it as a pain. So...provide an alternate (easier) way of locking the door too.
