While front entry locks attract the most attention, many Columbus break-ins occur through side, patio, or garage doors. A holistic strategy ensures no weak link is left behind. CountBricks simplifies multi-opening coordination by assigning each door a unique ID on your digital blueprint, then auto-generating an installation sequence that fits your project calendar.
• Basement Egress Doors: Often overlooked during above-grade remodels, these doors require hardware rated for moisture fluctuations. CountBricks flags any non-compatible finish and suggests stainless steel latch bolts.
• Detached Garage Side Entries: Homeowners frequently add smart locks to the main house but leave garage doors with basic knobs. Our AI recommends matching smart hardware so access logs remain consistent in the client’s mobile app.
• Interior-to-Exterior Transitions: Mudroom doors connecting to screened porches face humidity and temperature swings. CountBricks calculates seasonal movement and upsizes strike plates to prevent latch misalignment.
