This makes them much harder to gain entry into and could give you peace of heart that your home is well secured from intruders who aren't yours.

Some systems include a central deadbolt as well as a livebolt and hook bolts on the top and bottom panels. They can be locked by key or handle. The locking points are then rotated to create an airtight sealing.
