When I try to order hardware or doors I’m regularly asked for the “handing” of the “opening.” What is considered an opening and what is door handing? Is there a door handing guide that will allow me to figure this out prior to requesting a quote or placing an order? Door handing can get confusing […]
When you think of doors and locks, where does your mind go? For most people, it’s directly to securing entrances, exits, and valuable merchandise – rarely would you think about restrooms. Yet, failure to have the correct doors, locks, and hardware in your facility’s bathroom can cause major headaches ranging from customer complaints, to broken […]
On Tuesday, we discussed the issues that commonly arise when using wood doors on an exterior opening. While wood doors are beautiful, they just can’t hold up to the elements like they need to. CurriStain doors solve this problem, but that still leaves you scratching your head on what to do about your interior wood […]
It has been more than a while since we’ve done a Locks and Links and I feel like we are more than overdue. Come on. Who doesn’t love a friendly round up of some of LockBytes’ most exciting material?! Except this week I’m venturing out a bit; expanding my horizons, if you will. If you […]
It’s October and I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been taking in my fill of horror movies. It’s a requirement for this month and I do my part. Granted, I watch a majority of them with my hands over my eyes, but it still counts. Because of my Halloween preparedness, I’ve noticed there […]
I just finished filming the latest LockNet video newsletter (which you can find here) and this week I had the pleasure of discussing cabinet and drawer locks with Vicki Heilig.

A fire code inspection is never announced beforehand. It can be the middle of the week and all you can think about it are your plans for the weekend and out of nowhere the local Fire Marshal shows up to take a look at what you have going on in your facility. Yes, technically, you […]
Looking back at some of our most informative (and zombie-riffic) security education posts It’s been a while since we’ve revisited any of the topics LockNet has covered here on LockBytes, and since there’s no time like the present… We all need a little joy in our lives and what better way to do that than […]
Ladies and gentlemen, you’re welcome. I know you now have Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got to Do with It stuck in your heads. The 1980s aside, I do believe parts of our society have deteriorated to an all-time low. There is a new trend in theft prevention; lock up your razor blades. I went to […]
I wear glasses. While I don’t have really bad vision, I do get super squinty if I take my glasses off and I have yet to muster up the nerve to go in and get fitted for contacts. It’s not really the thought of placing a tiny lense on my eyeball that grosses me out. […]
