Overview: Not all entry doors come complete with locking hardware. The paper provides information about the best lock components that are forged rather than cast. In the forging process, a brass rod, or "billet," is heated to cherry-red 1,400°F, then compressed and shaped in a die under tremendous pressure. The resulting component is smooth and dense, with a fine molecular structure that's two and a half times stronger than its rough, die-cast counterpart and vastly superior to the stamped plated-steel components used in low-quality locks.
