Note: Measure your door's backset, cross bore and thickness to ensure you find the right fit
  • EASY INSTALLATION –The use of included instructions and template ensures a quick and easy installation. The deadlock is a surface-mounted, cross-bolt locking device which can be mounted to 1-3/8” to 2-3/8” thick, wood or metal doors. It can be installed inside or outside, on left- or right-hinged doors.
  • DURABLE CONSTRUCTION – Constructed of diecast metal with a brass-colored finish, this single cylinder deadbolt is strong, high quality and durable, giving you peace of mind that your home will remain protected against intruders.
  • INCLUDES - This door lock includes an angled strike, a rim cylinder, two keys (keyed differently), a cylinder trim ring, fasteners, a mounting plate, instructions and a tamper-resistant shutter guard. This lock requires a 1-1/4” hole and uses Kwikset keyway.
  • INSTALLATION TIP - Snap-off or cut-off end sections of tailpiece as needed, if it is too long for your door. Having the tailpiece too long can negatively affect the performance of the lock. Use pliers to snap-off, a hacksaw or small disk to cut-off, and a file to remove sharp edges and burrs. Position the deadbolt mounting plate on the inside of the door with raised side facing the outside of door to ensure flush installation of inside lock assembly.

This works but it is very flimsy. It is very light weight, compared with the one that it replaced. The locking mechanisms are not well aligned and don't move smoothly. Sometimes it gets stuck. I hope we don't get locked out at the most inconvenient time and end up paying serious money for a lock smith. Having said this, a more expensive "name brand" lock that I purchased, albeit studier, doesn't work much better than this one. Quality has gone out the window across the board!!!

My Dad installed this lock at least 20 years ago. It finally quit working. The cylinder would turn but the locking mechanism would not engage. It was not available locally at the 3 places I checked so I went to Amazon to get it. It is just like the old one and fits exactly. This made it easy for me to install with no problems. The door is 70 years old. If this new lock quits working, I will probably have to replace the door instead of the lock. Glad I found it on Amazon, and really glad the style has not changed since my Dad bought the first one. Recommend it for durability and safety. If you are installing it on a door that has never had a lock like this, it will be more complicated. I am not that skilled. The instruction are very clear and explain how to do it, and templates are included.

Replaced one just like it that was at least 15 year old. Using it on a very old and lightweight door that‘s too thin to take a deadbolt assembly. This is a reliably built, jimmy-proof surface lock. I don’t believe it’s as stout as a deadbolt. But it does a fine job on a door that anyone could easily blow through regardless of which lock was on the door. Probably better suited for a utility room than the front door of your house.

This is a pretty good deadbolt, especially for the price. As I think has been mentioned, the hardware that comes with it is kind of sub-par. That said, I got extra long screws because my door frame didn't have a lot of solid wood right where the plate makes contact to the door frame, so really long screws were necessary to ensure that the plate will stay put even if an intruder gives the door a good kick. I did re-use the screws from my old deadbolt to attach the cast portion.Something that's a bit aggravating to me is that there's apparently no standardization regarding the actual dimensions or screw locations. This would have made replacing the old deadbolt with the new one a lot easier.One other plus is the keys are basically the same as the common Kwikset style, and the ones that come with the deadbolt are nice quality.Something to beware of is the bolts for the tumbler assembly itself may have to be shortened depending on the thickness of the door. They are designed to be able to snap off about 3/8" of the tips, but I had to use a combination of tools along with brute force to snap them off (it wasn't easy to do). I would have used the bolts from my old tumbler assembly, but the thread pitch was completely different (again, an issue of no standardization).
