Do not put a lock on a door Just because It Is a door. Perhaps, after all, you will never lock It. At any event a bolt or a Jiunib turn will serve all the purposes of a lock and you will not have a key to look after. However, It should be said that a aiortlsed latch will usuntly cost more than a bit key lock. Of course If you have a small boy In the house you will want a lock on the pantry door.
