Springlatch locks are the most common type of inside door lock, they are on most inside doors like bath rooms, closets, offices, etc. To know if your lock is a springlatch, push in the latch and if it is spring-loaded, that means it is a springlatch. Next is a deadbolt, a deadbolt is most commonly found on the front doors of homes. Is  more secure than a springlatch lock, but only available for certain applications. The last kind of fingerprint door lock is the mortise latch. This is a commercial style latch found on most commercial locations that need higher security and also have higher use, therefore, this highly secure and durable latch is the choice for high-tech, highly secure environments.
