I put in some kicker plates with them and ran the screws in all the way through the second stud. 5 in each plate. So I am pretty sure coming in would be like the kool-aid man just busting the door off the hinges. I added some secondary contacts to a home automation controller which triggers macros on my cameras and forces a sub stream to start feeding and backing up the camera feeds to Amazon Glacier. While not impossible to get in they have to work and I have them on disc in the cloud. This is the lock model 11WC621-26-S1 ASSA ABLOY. Two for $150 keyed alike with 4 keys.

I am looking for the best residential deadbolt lock for my new home. I need it to be secure but also not look heavy duty or commercial. Most importantly - it has to be bump resistant.

What do you think of this:

Should I go with the Kwikset Smartkey? Does anyone has experience with it?

Thanks!


Bilock Deadbolt. Sells for about $175.00. or you can purchase a Bilock cylinder for a Schlage (or other non-brand name quality) deadbolt for about $125 including 3 keys. 100% bump proof, virtually pick proof and keys are copy proof.

install a Strikemaster II Pro to the jamb and you prevent door frame failure (kick-ins) too.

If there is glass in or near the door, you can install window film like ShatterGARD, to prevent the window from breaking.

Not having access to that, I got a piece of 1/8" acrylic maybe 3/4" larger than the glass on all sides. I screwed it to the door on the inside. It rests across the mullions which gives it more rigidity. If I needed it to look nice I could have mounted picture frame molding over the edges and painted it so it look like the door was made that way.
