Me too!

Great information thanks for sharing, cheers

Hi Mr. L. What is your recommended deadbolt set up height from door handle? 6”? 8”? Does it make a difference security wise?

The Kwikset Titan deadbolts, were good locks.

I may have missed it, but is there a link to the 660?

Are they good for metal doors?

Thanks for the video Mr. L. What is your opinion of the pick and bump resistance for each of these locks ? Are they better than the B60N in these areas ? Thanks !

Good locks and hard to pick but not impossible. Same with bumping, difficult but not impossible. The Everest (C123, etc.) cylinders are even harder to pick. For UL Pick Resistance get the Schlage Primus cylinders, Medeco or Abloy.

B60 is not Kwikset but its not much better. The nice thing about these deadbolts is their capability to swap the cylinder for more secure kinds (provided they fit). A b60 is ok if you can't get these models

They bump easier than a Kwikset smartkey. You can always add some ILCO “bump halt” spring pins...

Hi Mr Locksmith. Great video!i have a schlage door lock deadbolt that lock on ots own for door gate. I need to replace it but I do not see the type on any big box stores.

You can order them through a local locksmith, but the gate style latches you are talking about are about $75 now by themselves.

Consumer report says a yale yh82 is excellent for standard deadbolt or the medeco Maxum 11 603.?

Medeco and Multilock are strongest and most pick resistant but are expensive.

How does it compare to the LSDA grade 2 single deadbolts?

@24hrMrLocksmith

3 жыл бұрын

The Schlage Deadbolts are 10 times better than anything LSDA has.

The B660 also has anti-drill ball bearings (not sure about the 560). I was able to pick my 660 with the original spool pins, so I added serrated pins. I'm embarrassed to say I haven't been able to pick it yet with a combination of serrated and spool pins. Need more practice. :)

The Schlage Everest C123 cylinder is tough to pick stock from the factory.

Thanx for the Video. I thought the B560 no longer comes with the shroud. Nice comparisons.

The B560 still has it. It's the B60 that lost the latch. I imagine Schlage realized the B60 was encroaching on the B560's turf, so they knocked it down a bit.

Do you have a video on how to take a standard shlage lockset and make them more secure? I repinned all of them to use the same key but wasn’t sure what i should change to eliminate bumping and other low skill attacks. These were purchased from home depot.

Can these be ordered with the old "e" keyways and security pins? Need to upgrade several deadbolts from Weiser and Kwiset low security units. It's been a while, but I seem to remember that Schlage had a less common "E" keyway that only regular locksmiths carried and that it was set up for 6 pins vs the everywhere sc 5 pin set up.

Upgrade to any of the Schlage Everest cylinders. (C123, S129, etc.) Very hard to pick. The old “E” (C, CE, etc. ) is now called the “Classic” cylinders. Also, the corner Hardware store usually doesn’t have the Everest key blanks in stock and if they do their key machines are not accurate enough to duplicate them.

@@24hrMrLocksmith depends on the machine really. If they use something like a rytan then they may be able to duplicate them if you bring blanks but at that point just go to a real locksmith since most hardware stores don't calibrate their own machines, there lies the real reason for being inaccurate

Correct title should be top deadbolts from Schlage because these are not top overall deadbolts. Abloy Protec II and Primus are harder to pick.

@24hrMrLocksmith

Abloy and Primus video is coming. Still about 2 cases of Schlage deadbolts for every Abloy Protec 2 sold.

Says top deadbolts and posts b series. Ahh I see you are a man of culture as well 😌

Why is an adjustable bolt such a big deal? How hard is it to just order the correct bolt for your door's backset? I can't imagine choosing a certain deadbolt because it has an adjustable bolt.

how to remove screw less deadbolt

These and all North American locks are garbage and a joke. You want to secure your house both from the inside and out, get an Australian deadlock Stops a robber breaking in through your window and walking out with your stuff through the front door.

We have stricter fire codes in North America. If a firefighter is doing his job and gets into your house and in a pinch if he needs to go through your house and get out the other side, he does not want to be looking for keys or a pick ax to exit that door. Thus a Thumbturn.

Double cylinder deadbolts are found anywhere in the world, not just in Australia. Fire codes prohibit these from being used in residential applications. They’re a death trap.
