Wikipedia
deadbolt
A dead bolt, deadbolt or dead lock is a locking mechanism distinct from a spring bolt lock because a deadbolt can only be opened by a key or handle. The more common spring bolt lock uses a spring to hold the bolt in place, allowing retraction by applying force to the bolt itself. A deadbolt can therefore make a door more resistant to entry without the correct key, as well as make the door more resistant to forced entry. A deadbolt is often used to complement a spring-bolt lock on an entry door to a building.
ChatGPT
deadbolt
A deadbolt is a type of lock that provides superior security for doors. It requires a key or a manual operation from the interior side to unlock, and it cannot be easily opened from the exterior side using a card or a simple tool, unlike a spring bolt lock. It's typically used in conjunction with a spring-bolt lock on an entrance door to a building to provide added security.
