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.

Georgia pitcher Emerson Hancock driven by family, competition

When Emerson Hancock was in elementary school his mother, Mona, sometimes watched his games from the outfield to tune out the criticism of other parents. Now, she sits in the stands at Foley Field watching him pitch as a potential No. 1 overall pick in the MLB draft.
Hancock still has the same lanky build and laid-back, Southern demeanor that made many of the youth coaches in his native Cairo, Georgia doubt his ability. Then he steps on the mound and everything changes.
“He double takes and then looks at you, kind of looks right through you and I think if it was acceptable he would knock me out,” Bulldogs pitching coach Sean Kenny said. “He never would but that’s the look in his eyes.”
Hancock and the Bulldogs open the 2020 season Friday against Richmond in a three-game set at Foley Field.
The right-hander figures to get the opening-day start.
Routine is what Hancock thrives on, whether it involves family tradition or his class schedule. But his ability to break character and transform into a totally different person when he is facing batters has treated him well.
Following a sophomore season in which he had an 8-3 record with a 1.99 ERA, the right-hander has surged to the top of many MLB draft boards. For Hancock, the reason he can so easily flip the switch on his personality is simple.
“At the end of the day I want to win,” Hancock said. “I want to win for my teammates and just give them everything I have.”
Hancock always had the drive to win but his father, Don, can pinpoint the exact moment his son became the competitor he is today.
During Hancock’s sophomore year the Cairo High School Syrupmakers were traveling to Valdosta to take on Lowndes High School in a scrimmage game. Despite Hancock’s success as a freshman, his head coach all but assured him that he would be spending his sophomore year relegated to the junior varsity team.
“He came home and he was so upset, so mad,” Don Hancock said. “He said, ‘My coach thinks I’m going to play on the JV team. He is sadly mistaken.’ And he set out to prove him wrong.”
Hancock did prove him wrong, firing multiple shutout innings and earning a starting position that he never relinquished. After high school he was drafted in the 38th round of the 2017 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks but opted to pitch for the Bulldogs instead.
His decision to come to Athens was largely influenced by his grandmother, Martha Ruth Elkins, who passed away during his senior year. Elkins attended the University of Georgia herself and passed on a love of the school to Hancock, who didn’t seriously consider any other offer. He still writes her name on the mound before every start he makes.
“Anytime before a game I do that to kind of have that reminder before I pitch that ‘this is kind of your reason why, your purpose,” Hancock said. “The people you do it for is your family.’”
The loyalty that Hancock shows to family extends to the clubhouse as well. In 2019 the Bulldogs erupted for a 46-17 record, their most wins since 2008, largely on the strength of a strong pitching staff that had a team ERA of 3.25.
Bulldogs’ head coach Scott Stricklin attributes part of that success to Hancock’s presence both on the field and in the clubhouse where he is a leader to many of the younger pitchers.
Stricklin believes that Hancock’s work ethic is fueled by a desire to prove himself more and more to everyone watching, despite his already high status as a prospect.
Teams looking to potentially draft Hancock have taken his behavior into consideration as well. In the fall of 2019, with Hancock shut down from pitching due to a minor injury, a major league scout contacted Kenny about examining his off-the-field behavior.
“Coach Kenny basically said you don’t need to waste your time, just check [the boxes] all off, they’re all positive,” Stricklin said.
Fewer people understand the difference between Hancock the competitor and Hancock the person as well as his teammate C.J. Smith. Smith, like Hancock is a pitcher who hails from a rural Georgia town and can just as easily talk about hunting as he can his breaking ball.
The two met the summer before their freshman year in Athens, and since then their bond has grown beyond baseball. They share a room on road trips and even attend church together on Sunday mornings.
In all that time Smith has never seen Hancock’s personality change, even as he progresses toward a potential major league career. For now, he knows Hancock only has one goal: winning the College World Series as a Georgia Bulldog.
“We always joke with him about, ‘Man it’s going to be awesome seeing your name go in the first five picks,’” Smith said. “And he says, ‘Shut up dude we’ve gotta go to Omaha first.’”
