Amazon Basics Contemporary Round Deadbolt Door Key Lock, Single Cylinder, Matte Black, 1-Pack

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Awesome! Great look, finish and style and installed it myself [71 yr old female]Color:Blk matte finish

Has worked well for a while since I broke a key in my last lock. This lock is used daily about 10 times and has not yet shown any issues after 3 months. Was a little confusing setting it up. The lock got into a state where I could only lock it one way and the key would get stuck after opening but I reversed whatever I did and it worked like a dream. So don't mess with it once you get it

This deadbolt installed very easy. Comes with a template, though I use a jig for cutting the holes. KW1 keyway. I also purchased a lever set and the finishes match. This is a good deal for the price. It's not a Baldwin but seems similar to a Kwikset build. I installed this on a balcony door so the door is already somewhat secured. The screws for the deadbolt are not very long. If I were to install this on a ground floor door, I would purchase a separate deadbolt strike with long screws that can go deep into the framing. Even if you add that on, you are still probably coming out ahead. The finish has a sheen to it, it's not a matte finish.

The lock itself is good. Simple, well-made construction.The instructions are poor. The portion about the 2 1/8 inch collar gives no indication as to how to remove the collar. Similarly, there is no indication about how to separate the interior lock ring from the exterior trim and handle. (There is a one mil Allen key that only fits the set screw to remove the thumb screw required to separate the Loring from the exterior trim]Got the lock installed. Working fine. Had to figure out more than should have been necessary.

have an 2086 5th wheel. i got it for the doors. it was work getting it to fit. however to day the slider part quit working as well and there was a lot of play in it. i couldnt get out the door. lucky i have another door. i got the key to work a bit and finally got the lock to work enough to unlock it. i cant lock it back for fear of not being able to open the door. "revision" vvvvvi took it out today and it looks fine. i guess the old 5th wheel shifted and the door dont quit match up as well as when i installed the lock. my 5th wheel has a metal door with wood filler, and i had to grind that out to fit it in the 1st.place.now it looks like i will have to grind some of the metal of the frame where the lock slides in. oh well~ just another day in the life..two days later jacked up the trailer, the door shifted, and it works fine..

First off, these can be re-keyed by a professional or if you know how and have a Kwikset re-pinning set.But should you buy it? You can, as long as you understand it is of lesser quality than a brand name lock and it's not going to have the longevity of a better built deadbolt. It is made with inferior metals and the internal mechanisms are... clunky. They are not smooth, they get stuck, they just feel inferior.Will they work for your solution? Probably. But depending on how secure you want to feel you'd be better of spending the extra $10 and getting something from Kwikset or Schlage. Those are going to last - this is going to cost you more in the long run because it's going to fail much sooner than brand name locks will and you'll have to buy something else to replace it. The ROI (Return On Investment) will put you in the negative over the long term, and that is something you will want to consider. BUT, if all you have right now is $26-and-some-change, then it will work... for now.

Great deadbolt, very easy to install, and it works great, great value
