Working from home puts laptops, client files and sometimes inventory inside a house that was never designed as an office. A few lock decisions help.
Lock the room, not just the house
A keyed lever or deadbolt on the office door keeps visitors, contractors and curious kids out of work materials. Interior privacy locks are easy to defeat, so use a keyed lock if the contents matter.
Secure the paperwork
Locking file cabinets and a small safe keep documents and backup drives out of reach. Bolt a safe down if it is small enough to carry away.
Think about keys
Keep office keys separate from house keys you hand to sitters or cleaners. Extra keys should be counted, and a keypad lock lets you change a code instead of collecting keys.
