I hate lino all-round - I never had liked it, and have only ever been known to break into hysterics when a relative suggest I buy a "Nice bit of lino" I almost cried in laughter - I see that as being the ultimate contradiction. "Nice lino" verges on an oxmoron really...
I prefer real wood floors - resiliant, if made with nice wood beautiful, not at danger of stains like a carpet, and gives your a sense of being 'natural'
My favourite flooring has to be the small red bricked floors you get. I remember seing the floor done in this way whilst visiting a very old house and was impressed. The name escapes me right now, but I guess if you were interested in such a subject, you'd already know what I am refering to.
I guess lino must be one of those 'love it or hate it things'.

Schlage also makes kits to allow you to convert the schlage keyway to a Weiser or Kwickset keyway. You just switch the plug so you can key the Schlage to someones Weiser/Kwickset key. Can come in handy if you need to install a new lock and all you have is a Schlage on hand, but you have the plugs with you as well.
The kits have 5 and 6 pin deadbolt and kik (Orbit and Bell) plugs.
I don't know the Kit part numbers off hand. I could take a picture of the kits if anyone would like to see.
Multi-locks, Abloys, Assa and others will also fit in the B160.

I'm still not convinced...
when I was a medeco dealer, we had to make sure the signatures on the cards matched... different owner, new card, and if the owner was out of town, or it came from another shop, customer was SOL.
I think this guy's trying to rip someone off
keys, we don't need no stinking keys!

I may belost here but the core is medeco and the housing is the other one..... the core is what you the dealer cared about not what customer was putting it in

well, I think it's been established that we're looking at a medeco KIK cyl. put into a Schalge body.
Medeco controls (from the inventory side anyways) keys, cylinders and cards. In order to make any of what this guy's selling practical, a new card would have to be issued, which is a pain for the credential verification, etc. that was kind of my point, that buying someone elses Medeco is not worth the hassle. It would be much easier to get your own, have it set up locally (another lock shop might not even be able to get that keyway) and maintain it locally. Keep things on the up and up... that's what locks are for, keeping honest people honest (and lock pickers entertained).
