Schlage B60 N 622 Deadbolt, Keyed 1 Side, Highest Residential Security, Matte Black

Easy to install. Feels sturdy. Looks nice

We purchased this to replace the deadbolt on our front door. We have a sweet son with an assortment of diagnoses who has absolutely no risk assessment ability, little impulse control, and a complete inability to understand and therefore navigate safely the dangers of the streets outside of our house at this time. So to put it bluntly, if we didn't have some way of keeping him inside he couldn't defeat, he'd probably not survive alone outside of our house. We did have a gate blocking off the front door which he was unable to open because his fine motor wasn't developed enough to do it, but he's become strong enough to rip it out of the wall mounts, and he's recently gained the ability to get the chain undone we had as a back up plan. He currently can not pick out a particular key matched to a specific lock out of a line up, much less get one inserted in a lock, so we replaced out the deadbolt with this as a back up layer of protection for him. We got this color because it perfectly matches our other hardware.The installation was easy enough, my husband did this one for us. Both of the keys that came with it work, and the key copied well when we made a copy so that our daughter could have one as well. I have had some lock keys that did not copy well so...yes, that really is a thing. My only note on this is for those of you that are very particular about aesthetics. There are these little metal caps that go over the screws to hide them and make the lock more attractive/ less of an eyesore. If you look at the right hand one, notice the visible crescent moon of screw that is underneath the cap. So, this could be attributable to a couple of things, I did make sure the screw was in there correctly. It appears that the whole on that side is slightly larger...Honestly, given what you now know about my son, I'm sure you can see why I didn't deduct from this for that. I've got much more serious matters that this lock is working great right now to solve, and it could be the ugliest thing in the world and as long as it keeps him safe, it's going to be a 5 star lock system in my book. And chances are, most people probably aren't going to notice it. Unless you're just a wee bit like me, and it practically calls out to your eyes every time you walk by it ;) In which case, all I can say is I don't know how common this situation would be with this lock model, but it is what we experienced. But every hair on his head is safe at this time, so it's still a 5 star lock in my book...

Schlage makes a quality lock and comes with "detailed instructions" for adjusting to different door offsets and a no mortise press ring for the door is provided . I am installing this lock on a double steel door so the press ring for the bolt will come in handy. Excellent finish and smooth working lock. Schlage quality at it's best.

This deadbolt was used on an outside door for a small shed. It is not only a very attractive deadbolt, but a very strong one.

The lock was as easy to install for me as any other dead bolt I have put in, and the construction seems very solid. The only issue I had was due to my ignorance. I found that due to the other dead bolt in my house is a kwikset and my other locks are not Schlage locks since one of them is over 90 years old like my house and I really like it since it still works well and is very unique, I could not get them a single key. According to my locksmith Schlage's use a different key stock for their locks than the others I have in the house, therefore I have to have two different keys for my locks in the house which is a real drag since I was hoping to have one key for all the locks thereby making my life that much easier.This is kind of a small gripe, but had I known this, I probably would have bought another lock. Also, I saw some comments related to the color. you can always sand these locks down and paint them with spray paint if you like. I did this so the previously mentioned 90 year old lock and knob would match this new lock. I gave them all a nice looking satin black finish to go with a glossy blue door. It was not very hard and still looks good a few months later.

I recently purchased a single key & knob ordinary dead bolt from Schlage for a family member. The old lock had gone bad and I wanted something better. It works so well I decided I could use one - a 2-key type since I have a side window next to the door and if broken would allow a knob type to be turned. Unfortunately none of the hardware stores in town carried the 2-key version so I was forced to purchase this online. Price was comparable. There isn't much bad new, thus the 5-stars. Had this been a replacement I'm sure installation would have been easier. The only flaw was the cheap paper template for lining up the drill. Make sure if you purchase this that you set the center points of both holes with a nail so the drill has a proper guide in case the paper slips or tears.Other than that, this is a fantastic lock. It gives you two options for the strike plate: Two ordinary short screws, or as I opted, two very heavy duty 2 1/2 - 3 inch screws to guard against outside leverage. The lock operates very smoothly and the key glides in and out. I used WD-40 on the inside and powdered graphite in the key hole, but this was probably not necessary. If you are looking for a step up from the basic dead bolt, I highly recommended this. No special tools were necessary. Installation took about 20 minutes after drilling.Looks great in brass.

Always the best quality, fit and finish. As a locksmith its nice to rekey and work on locks that are manufactured with tight tolerances.

I'm a Locksmith and I have vendors that I use to purchase products. It's supposed to save me money doing things that way. These are the exact same ones I always use and they're $22 cheaper than my vendor.I stand behind Schlage (Allegion)They're definitely the top for door hardware. Tolerance is better, they're more secure, and quality is so much better than kwikset or any of the generics.They also have Dexter and Falcon at a cheaper price to be competitive. You know those will be just as good quality-wise.
