🔒 Schlage B60 N 622 Matte Black Deadbolt – Keyed 1 Side, Top Residential Security Review

I'm not a locksmith or criminal so I don't know how they work on those levels but I really like them (Bought 8 pieces). Beautiful appearance. Very pleasant tactile sensations when locking / unlocking. Unlike other styles, each page only installs one way, so you don't have to worry about page orientation. Insert the latch into the door with the face up. How difficult is it? Place the outer 1/2 of the lock on the outside of the door, keyway down, insert the inner 1/2 and install with 2 long…

Long positive experiences with Schlage made this purchase a bargain hunt. An identical product will sell for $$ more at Lowe's, carefully packaged, more consumer-centric (and maybe with expanded instructions). a plus in safety. It comes from Revain with simplified instructions that assume some familiarity with installing locks, so I would call it a "locksmith pack". The steps to adapt the lock to different hole sizes and firing pin options weren't entirely clear to me, but I eventually figured…

This is a premium Schlage residential lock launched in 2016 or early 2017. It has several security features. was designed to prevent brute force attacks such as hammers, wrenches and "pokes" and has received a lot of good feedback on this. However, it was a major disappointment that the B60N has an aluminum alloy core and bible instead of the traditional brass core and bible. And you'll feel it as soon as you insert the key and turn it. The mechanism is rough and prone to snagging, and while I…

I bought this to replace a Kwikset latch as I have a Schlage doorknob and I wanted them to match. The reviews told me the Schlage is a notch above the Kwikset, which is certainly reflected in the price. However, the real components are just as terrible as Kwikset. The keys stick, the parts dangle. Crucially, Kwikset allows for slightly larger openings in the door. So if you replace one latch with another, you end up with a gap. If you can get over that, it's still worse than Kwikset. You can…

FYI - I ordered this and my licensed very experienced contractor was unable to install it. That's a bad sign. He suggested I order another one in case it broke and then I installed this second one, but I learned a lot. I find it really hard to believe someone just installed this and gave it 5 stars. Here are the main problems: 1: You can't put the left screw in the hole. That's why my contractor gave up, but I didn't give up the second time around. It was really damn hard. The matt black finish

We bought this to replace the latch on the front door. We have a sweet son with a number of diagnoses who has absolutely no risk assessment skills, poor impulse control and a complete inability to understand the dangers of the roads outside of our home and therefore navigate safely. So, to be perfectly clear, if we hadn't had a way of keeping him inside that he couldn't defeat, he probably wouldn't have survived outside of our home on his own. We had a gate blocking the front door which he…
