Review on Enhanced Security Cylinder Lock - 1-1/4 inches - Includes Schlage Shaped Keys by PRIME-LINE Products by Ron Mohammed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lockable tip does not work

Installation is a bit tedious. It looks like the original lock cylinder, has the same dimensions, but is clearly not an exact replacement. As mentioned earlier, the door will open but not lock. The shaft (the part you cut to length) is thicker and wider than the original lock. Internally, the product is not identical either. Solution. I removed the stock from the original lock set and used the internals and stock in the new lock set and after half an hour of fiddling it worked like a new lock should. I also had the problem that the key didn't come out after plugging it in. Too bad when I put the old parts in the new lock I didn't tighten the lock cap tight enough. I had to tighten the cover three more latches and it worked like clockwork. However, he did not expect that he would have to rebuild a lot and study the mechanics of locks.

Pros
  • Heavy duty
Cons
  • Large and bulky
