@@mikesmith-wk7vy burglars only have approx. 8 to 12 min before they're caught!!! The amount of time it takes to lock pick, they're just going to move on anyway
Oh yeah, the Schlage deadbolts will last a long time. The Schlage locks on my house have lasted 25 years, they have gotten a little worn and stiff, so I recently changed all the pins, and replaced all the keys and they work as good as ever.
I had Kwikset for 24 years. The lock mechanism breaks, the finish comes off every single time. The only thing not crap about it is the warranty, which you will definitely use.
Additionally, the Schlage has armor to prevent drilling out the mounting bolts with regular HSS drill bits, and there's usually a hardened steel plate set into the core face to prevent drilling the shear line.
Cobalt drill bits aren't hard to come by though and those are made to drill through high carbon hardened steel. So I don't know if it would be much help, it would certainly buy you time though.
BION, I use a Spyder Mach Blue 1/16 x 2 1/2 inch bit for drilling most locks. Yes, it's tiny, but ya can't beat it for strength and precision, especially when you hit the sweet spot.
Sadly that does very few any good. No one drills a lock when breaking in, not well anyway, so the only people this stops are locksmiths unable to open the lock through other means. Not to mention it doesn't work lol. Medeco will keep people from drilling effectively, schlage does not. Since lishi tools hit the scene drilling a lock is very rare even for new smiths.
I contacted the local locksmith by email today, asking if his locks had metal internals vs plastic at big box stores and he told me that there has not been much of a difference between big box stores and what he sells for 10 years. I asked about the B60N or would he recommend something else, he said it is a decent residential system.
I have a heavy stainless steel security door. When you turn the key to enter, the lock stays unlocked unless you turn the key back to lock it. How can I make it so the the lock automatically relocks after you unlock it?
Dead bolts are very good locks. Actually, I use it for alternate entry points. But for main entrance, I prefer to use a mortise lock with high security profile cylinder.
Kwikset locks are easy to rake open new from the store right out of the box. opened a dead bolt and a knob lock within seconds after unboxing them. Schlages are way better I totally agree.
I Like The Schlage B660 Deadbolt Because it Has A Solid Housing Not Hollow . Plus It Has A Ice Pick Shield . I Use Them On My House Keyed Alike , And install Them For Customers.
I do home improvements including door installation, I always tell the homeowner that Schlage is the only good residential one. If the striker is slightly hitting the plate after figuring out where it's hitting you can take a Dremel and grind a little bit off the edge of the striker plate. If you're only removing a little bit you can't even talk but if it's any worse you have to remove it and relocate it in the proper place. If you need to move the striker plate just remove the screws and hammer golf tees into the holes, then score of the golf tees and break them off. This will keep the screws from following the existing holes. This technique also fixes screw holes for hinges that are stripped out. They make a special drill bit that will perfectly center the hole for the striker plates and hinge plates. This is well worth the $5 price to be able to perfectly center the hole for the screw. For some reason Home Depot does not carry this drill bit but Lowe's does. If Home Depot does have it I've never been able to find it. Avoiding over tightening all the installation screws is definitely the key to not having the lock binding up.
@@BallisticSuperiority I've not encountered any holes small enough for toothpicks but I'm sure that would work. Another thing that I have found out works really well for filling in the holes are chopsticks like the ones you get at Chinese restaurants. Actually I'll use any wood that I can Whittle down and Hammer into the whole it all works. Although I think hardwood works better than softwood obviously but softwood has even saved the day for me a few times.
I need to buy 3 deadbolts right away. Can you tell me what the difference between Home Depot Schlage B60N deadbolts as I can't wait for the video. By the way when I was on the Schlage web site their links to where to buy them were for Amazon and Home Depot.
The locksport community has a 'blue belt' rated lock that's a Paclock 90A Pro that's 7 security pins that we pick and gut for fun. The higher rated pickers are going through Medeco locks. Take that Schlage lock to a locksport meetup and someone will open it like they have the key.
I have a Schlage deadbolt single cylinder. There are no allen screws behind the plate. There is a small hole on the side of the thumb knob that does not have an allen screw in it. Was a pin driven into this hole to keep the knob on and if so is there a non-distructive way to remove the knob. The screws to remove the lock are behind the trim plate behind the knob.
I'm a commercial locksmith that swears by Schlage products. Although I do like the B60N, I still say that the B560 is the best deadbolt for your money. Don't waste your money on the B660 though.
My go to Deadbolt is the Schlage B660. Note: I just found out a huge difference between the Locksmith Supplier / Contractor B60N and the Home Depot B60N. Video soon!
Ok! Thanks for the info on the B60N. I'm about to install a new side entry door for my MIL, and a new door for the detached garage. I'm also replacing doorknob/lock and deadbolt on the front door, all keyed the same. These all have the original ('50s era) Kwickset doorknob/lock and deadbolts. Now what is the best residential entry door knob/lock? I'm assuming it's a Schalge, but which one?
I got locked out of my apartment using a kwikset , thing only lasted 3 years... the key one day would not turn ,... it's like someone switched the tumblers I'll give Schlage a try..
I bought a new Kwikset Knob and deadbolt from my local box store. had them delivered. and after opening the packages, i raked them both opened within moments. less than 5 seconds. using a 5 peak wave rake. total crap .
Can this deadbolt in the garage and an ENCODE smart deadbolt on the front door be rekeyed to the same key? This is 6 pin and the ENCODE cylinder is 5 pin? Also, Where can a homeowner get the box with the lock bits (Spools?) to rekey the locks? Answer found : Amazon
Wasn’t there or is there a passage lock that also doubles as a deadbolt? I rent and can’t drill any holes, but I would like a deadbolt if possible. I remember seeing adds a few years back but cannot remember the company.
Just read the instructions lol. I work in a hardware store. Most people don't read, and come back cuz the bolt is the wrong length. OR they need the handle for the right hand or left hand door.
Hi There. I have an ellipse MARKS doorknob on the door from our bedroom to hallway. A few of us have tried but are not able to find the detent (hidden lever) to pull apart the 2 sides of the doorknob. There is a hole for a pin but it doesn’t lead to anything (it’s blocked even if turning both ways). Any ideas on how to open it?
Is this for a specific price point? Because I'm surprised he mentioned it above the Medeco Maxxum Deadbolt system. Upwards of $250, but it took a locksmith an hour and a half to drill through my old one when I lost my apartment key. I doubt this Schlage would stand up to that.

Hey, Mr. L. I really like your channel. Locks are mesmerizing and utterly fascinating. So, I want to change the handleset on my front door. The current handleset has a single deadbolt only. What I would like to buy is a handleset where you have a separate deadbolt above the handleset AND a locking mechanism WITHIN the handleset itself. Typically, I have seen these with 2 buttons on the door flange so you can select whether the handleset is locked or unlocked when the door is closed OR there is a selector on the rotor on the inside of the door where you again can select lock or unlock on the handleset. When I am Googling or in a store what kind of handleset should I be looking for?
I have a question I’m gonna have to replace a deadbolt because no one No one knows where the keys are, so do we have to put something in the screw holes to hold that new deadbolt in so it won’t fall out
The safe is a time master. I hope this helps, so I can get an answer that helps me to open it. The safe opened the beginning of this year, but when I got back from trip I couldn't open it. I found that the battery on the positive side had corroded.
What is the best handleset for very cold weather? My weiser set latch always seems to freeze up in the cold weather. They sent me a rubber gasket set that is supposed to fix it but I still have issues.

@@cybersonic8472 I just purchased B60N from Home Depot and I am doing a video on the comparison between Locksmith suppler B60N and Big Box Hardware B60N
Any update on the Locksmith Supplier / Contractor B60N vs. the Home Depot B60N? I picked up a Mr. Locksmith membership to see if you had the video you teased on this topic in the member section, but I didn't see one. I'm having trouble finding the six-pin version you featured in this video and would love to buy a few through you if possible.
Why is the hole in the door so large? It seems like a design flaw. The amount of surface area for the lock to attach to, is really minimal. The hole should maybe be 1/3 of the current diameter.
Thanks for your informative video. Unfortunately, however, you did not answer a question I have. My son is incapable of remembering to turn the locking mechanism when he leaves the house. I thought it would be a simple matter to install a keyed, non-pushbutton lock and doorknob set (not a deadbolt) that automatically locks when the door is closed behind you without having to remember to push or turn a button. Apparently, no such thing exists, which surprises me. I’ve already talked to a locksmith and been to Lowes, Menards and Ace Hardware, but no luck. I can’t believe what I’m looking for does not exist. Can you help me?
Hey, where can I buy this lock since you said the big box versions aren't the same? And I can't find the comparison video you mention in this one, did you make that? You talked me into this lock but now I don't know which version to buy? :)
Everest locks super easy to bump with the right key , it opens first time consistently with barely a light bump, better get a lock with spool pins across the board! Not to mention I actually filed down a sc1 key to fit a everest and cutting the shoulder down to add the sixth pin , it not only worked on the outside doors but my apartment as well, the code was close enough to work both, I tried it on a vacant apartment next door and it didn't work!
Few questions: What knob would you recommend? And is it generally advised to have a knob and deadbolts all have different keys? I would like to have all 3 of my household doors use the same key, but that seems less secure. Great video!
@@24hrMrLocksmith So, your saying, for entry doors, (residential in my case) skip paying for key in knob sets? Just go with the current top choice "Schlage B60N" and call it a day? I never thought about that option!? Sorta like bathrooms with two sinks.. Your paying twice for the same service.. Brilliant!! One less thing to have issues with later.. 👍👍
@@24hrMrLocksmith For Primus its easier to get bump-keys for. There are only 4 different side-millings. The older Medecos manufactured prior to 2006 like the Biaxial and the M3 can be bypassed easily with a sharpened screwdriver which can turn the tailpiece... but then again ANY deadbolt with a thumbturn can be bypassed with an under door tool.
Don't poo poo the Kwikset dead bolts too quickly. They have the hardened steel collars, and their bolts actually hold up well under a kick attack, using longer screws on the door jamb. The locks also come with pick resistant top pins now making them harder to pick. Schlage makes great bolts but their latches on handle sets and knob sets break more often than others. I myself have the old Schlage B460 dead bolts, with a primus keyway, heavy duty strikes and I have steel ball bearings inserted into the mounting screw holes to prevent drilling the mounting screws off.
Well, somebody's spelled it "Schalge" in this video. I suspect from the correct spelling, "Schlage", and from the time the company was established that this could be a German name. So my best guess at a pronunciation would be a 'sh' sound followed by 'lager' like the beer (do you have lager beer in USA and/or Canada?) So, you could say 'Shlager' with a long 'ah' sound on the 'a' and a hard 'g'.

I recently had to buy an extra schlage knob at home depot to finish a job and noticed it had identical latch to Defiant as did the kwikset. Really sad
@@cybersonic8472 I just purchased B60N from Home Depot and I am doing a video on the comparison between Locksmith suppler B60N and Big Box Hardware B60N
Good information and we'll presented, thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍
Which is the best door knob lock?
Mr L...great videos...

Where can I purchase the b60 n residential lock? I can’t find it on Amazon or Lowes. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Ugh, contact the manufacturer directly?
Any update on the Locksmith Supplier / Contractor B60N vs. the Home Depot B60N? I picked up a Mr. Locksmith membership to see if you had the video you teased on this topic in the member section, but I didn't see one. I'm having trouble finding the six-pin version you featured in this video and would love to buy a few through you if possible.
I can't find that video either.
Why is the hole in the door so large? It seems like a design flaw. The amount of surface area for the lock to attach to, is really minimal. The hole should maybe be 1/3 of the current diameter.
I live in an apt I'm being terrified by people picking my lock
What’s the best door knob?
Thanks for your informative video. Unfortunately, however, you did not answer a question I have. My son is incapable of remembering to turn the locking mechanism when he leaves the house. I thought it would be a simple matter to install a keyed, non-pushbutton lock and doorknob set (not a deadbolt) that automatically locks when the door is closed behind you without having to remember to push or turn a button. Apparently, no such thing exists, which surprises me. I’ve already talked to a locksmith and been to Lowes, Menards and Ace Hardware, but no luck. I can’t believe what I’m looking for does not exist. Can you help me?
you need to get a commercial lock and door closer that are meant for a hotel door. And hide some keys in the yard.
I love Mickey and Minnie Mouse
Hey, where can I buy this lock since you said the big box versions aren't the same? And I can't find the comparison video you mention in this one, did you make that? You talked me into this lock but now I don't know which version to buy? :)
At your local Locksmith Shop
I saw someone picking this as fast as using a key on it 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
i have a b 360 and can't get screws in
Everest locks super easy to bump with the right key , it opens first time consistently with barely a light bump, better get a lock with spool pins across the board! Not to mention I actually filed down a sc1 key to fit a everest and cutting the shoulder down to add the sixth pin , it not only worked on the outside doors but my apartment as well, the code was close enough to work both, I tried it on a vacant apartment next door and it didn't work!
What is a good lock than??
Few questions:
What knob would you recommend?
And is it generally advised to have a knob and deadbolts all have different keys?
I would like to have all 3 of my household doors use the same key, but that seems less secure.
Great video!
Invest the money in good deadbolts and don’t pay for key-in-knobs. Just get passage sets with no locks.
@@24hrMrLocksmith thank you for everything!
@@24hrMrLocksmith So, your saying, for entry doors, (residential in my case) skip paying for key in knob sets? Just go with the current top choice "Schlage B60N" and call it a day? I never thought about that option!? Sorta like bathrooms with two sinks.. Your paying twice for the same service.. Brilliant!! One less thing to have issues with later.. 👍👍
I've made a fun little drinking game out of this channel. Every time he mispronounces "Schlage," take a shot.
What about drilling out the lock?
What's the best lock for a residential basement door?
I can take a pipe wrench to the outside of that lock turn. It counterclockwise open that door in less than 30 seconds. Sorry that junk.
You have abloy locks there right.. right...?
Best Residential deadbolt for the money.
Or medeco?
@@jamess1787 Medeco is a great High Security lock but more expensive than the B60N.
Schlage Primus High Security Deadbolt is comparable to the Medeco.
@@24hrMrLocksmith For Primus its easier to get bump-keys for. There are only 4 different side-millings. The older Medecos manufactured prior to 2006 like the Biaxial and the M3 can be bypassed easily with a sharpened screwdriver which can turn the tailpiece... but then again ANY deadbolt with a thumbturn can be bypassed with an under door tool.
@Moishe Shekelbag all locks can be bypassed. Locks keep honest people honest. They are just a deturent.
Who are you and how did you get in here?
I’m Mr. Locksmith … and I’m Mr. Locksmith.
If the B60N is a 6 pin, what Schlage residential 5 pin dead bolt would you recommend?
It looks line the Hardware Stores sell the 5 pin SC1 and the Wholesalers supply the 6 pin SC4. I have a few more videos comparing the locks.
you should use affiliate links. great work!
lock picking lawyer would love to have a word with you.

Don't poo poo the Kwikset dead bolts too quickly. They have the hardened steel collars, and their bolts actually hold up well under a kick attack, using longer screws on the door jamb. The locks also come with pick resistant top pins now making them harder to pick. Schlage makes great bolts but their latches on handle sets and knob sets break more often than others. I myself have the old Schlage B460 dead bolts, with a primus keyway, heavy duty strikes and I have steel ball bearings inserted into the mounting screw holes to prevent drilling the mounting screws off.
Kwikset can be picked super easy even with mushroom pins. The locks are low grade inexpensive locks at best.
Well, somebody's spelled it "Schalge" in this video. I suspect from the correct spelling, "Schlage", and from the time the company was established that this could be a German name. So my best guess at a pronunciation would be a 'sh' sound followed by 'lager' like the beer (do you have lager beer in USA and/or Canada?) So, you could say 'Shlager' with a long 'ah' sound on the 'a' and a hard 'g'.
How I have heard it sounds like
Sch lay g I pronounce like sch leg I might be wrong on the correct pronunciation
Our biggest mistake is we got the daylight so we can't use the 3 inch screws due to the glass being there, UGG
Nice thank u
Thumbs up and subscribed!
What about the best residential door knob lock?
Big fan of the Parker B9160. Or Arrow RK series.
Is this Schlage B60N STILL the BEST Residential Door Lock in your opinion?
The Home Depot version is #2
