ANSI Door Lock Grades Explained
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) grading system was developed years ago to standardize a testing procedure to measure the durability and strength of a door lock. This grading system applies to both residential and commercial door locks. Composed of three different grades, the ANSI grading system gives homeowners and business owners a good idea of lock quality and reliability. ANSI examines six different qualities to determine a lock's grade:
- Strength Cycles - How many uses a lock can withstand before a replacement lock is needed)
- Operational - This refers to a door's ability to latch when it is closed
- Security - The effectiveness of the lock's security
- Material - What kind of material is the lock made of?
- Finish - Satin, nickel-plated, bronze, etc.
Grade 1 Locks
These locks offer the highest level of security and are most often used by institutions like hospitals, schools, and even museums. These locks also have the highest life expectancy, though they can be much more complex and require an expert residential or commercial locksmith in cityname to install. In today's day and age, many more homeowners are opting for Grade 1 locks (like electronic locks) for the most peace of mind. This classification of lock must hold up against 800,000 cycles, six door strikes and a 360-pound weight test.
Grade 2 Locks
These locks are great for residential areas with more foot traffic, like a door that leads to an apartment complex or suite of rooms. These locks can also suffice for small businesses that need a higher level of security than Grade 3 locks. Use these locks when you want to secure access to areas with valuable equipment or sensitive documents. This classification of lock requires 400,000 cycles, four door strikes, and a 250-pound weight test.
Grade 3 Locks
This grade of lock is best suited for residential purposes and is considered standard door hardware. This kind of lock is the least expensive and should never be used in a high-traffic area like a lobby or storefront. However, these locks would be suitable for areas without much foot traffic like storage closets or areas without expensive merchandise. Because these locks are easiest to bypass, consider upgrading your Grade 3 locks with anti-bump and anti-pick technology. This classification of lock requires 200,000 lock cycles, two door strikes, and a 150-pound weight test.

Featuring percussionist Britton-René Collins, Grand Prize Winner of the 2022 Yamaha Young Performing Artists Competition
Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra, Community Contributor
JOHNS CREEK, GA – Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra (JCSO) will welcome guest conductor Howard Hsu and percussionist Britton-René Collins to the stage at its November 9 concert, titled “Magnificent Marimba.” With an incredible setlist, this concert will be a must-see event for classical music lovers! “Magnificent Marimba” will be held at the Johns Creek United Methodist Church, 11180 Medlock Bridge Road in Johns Creek, on Saturday, November 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for this concert range from $22-$55. To purchase tickets, please visit www.johnscreeksymphony.org or click HERE.
The 2024-2025 concert season centers around a Music Director search, as the JCSO looks to place its next Music Director. As a Music Director finalist and guest conductor, Howard Hsu has curated a dynamic setlist of three different works. The JCSO string section will bring to life TCHAIKOVSKY’s Serenade for Strings in C Major, Op. 48 and MONTGOMERY’s Starburst. Up-and-coming composer Jessie Montgomery is Musical America’s 2023 Composer of the Year, and she described this piece as “a play on imagery of rapidly changing musical colors. Exploding gestures are juxtaposed with gentle fleeting melodies in an attempt to create a multidimensional soundscape.” ROSAURO’s Marimba Concerto No. 1 features masterful percussionist and guest star Britton-René Collins, who will have performed at Carnegie Hall just a few months prior to making her JCSO debut.
“Britton-Rene Collins is an up-and-coming, dynamic young artist who is making a real difference in her field,” said Linda Brill, Executive Director of the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra. “It is not often that a percussionist is featured as a soloist with an orchestra, and we feel that our audience will appreciate the opportunity to witness her astounding level of artistry at the front and center of this performance.”

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Author Martha “Marti” Peterson said she had to push for a “real” assignment in the CIA, one on par with her male counterparts.
Speaking to a crowd of more than two dozen at Johns Creek Books Sept. 17, Peterson recalled it was the early ’70s, and she had just lost her husband John while they were on a tour in Laos. She wanted to do what he intended to do before his death — assess and recruit foreign spies who would give the U.S. government secrets from their country.
“I was a piss poor secretary,” Peterson said.
The 79-year-old Wilmington, North Carolina, resident was at the store promoting her autobiography “Widow Spy,” published in 2012. Peterson assured visitors that she ran the book script by the CIA, but that the story had already been out “in a vague way.”
The CIA’s training had been intense. Peterson said it was nine months of learning all the necessary skills, including “sneaky photography” and how to detect whether you were being followed.
After pushing back on a couple of offers, Peterson was given a job in Moscow, becoming one of the first women operations officers assigned there. She went through 44 weeks of Russian.
In November 1975, she landed, and reality hit her, when she noticed the plowed snow by the runway.
“I went from Fort Lauderdale to Moscow, and I tied my belt around my camel hair with a pile lining coat, and thought, ‘Oh, Martha, this is the beginning. What have you done?’” Peterson recalled. “In a moment there, I realized this was a big thing to take on.”
In Moscow, she became the handler to Trigon, a Soviet recruit out of Bogotá, Colombia, whose real name is Aleksandr Ogorodnik. Peterson said he had been aggressive at bringing documents out of the Soviet embassy for the CIA, adding that he would take pictures of them, tuck them in his pants and place them back where they were found.
Trigon’s aptitude for the work landed him in Moscow, what Peterson said was referred to as the “Lion’s Den.” His condition, that he be given the means to commit suicide, had been met.
“I was a young officer. I was 30 years old. I didn’t have a lot of experience, and this horrified me,” Peterson said. “I also realized that it’s like sending someone to war without bullets.”
She was responsible for keeping in contact with Trigon via dead drops. She showed the small crowd the sorts of packages she would leave for him — a limb, a slab of concrete. These would be hollowed out.
During one of the timed exchanges, Peterson was caught by the KGB and taken to Lubyanka, “Stalin’s very favorite prison in the center of Moscow.”
“People say, ‘Were you afraid?’ No, I was angry,” she said. “Something had happened to Trigon, and I knew it.”
Trigon had already been compromised, using his poison pen to kill himself while being forced to write a confession, though Peterson didn’t find that out until years later.
Russian officers grabbed her by the arms and restrained her.
“I don’t know how you would react, but I got angry, and I started kicking people,” Peterson said. “One guy showed me the bruise on his shin, and there is word — it’s a legend that I kicked a man, and he was hospitalized and had no sex for a few days.”
Because of diplomatic immunity, Peterson was released.
She retired from the CIA in 2003.
When a visitor asked about the rest of her career, she said, “No, that remains.”
