Master Lock - NightWatchâ„¢ Deadbolt

[Afisch]

Does having some kind of inside bolt not have the exact same effect as this? Security for when your inside, like in a toilet? Could someone explain how this is enhancing security more than that?

Could someone explain how this is enhancing security more than that?

Nope... that's about the entire contribution. (Although one could argue that kicking in a deadbolt should be harder for thieves than kicking in a door locked with a surface-mount barrel bolt... but that's about the only advantage that I can think of.)

humm.... Would it be possible to replace the cylinder, but still use the deadbolt assembly?

That could provide a much more secure lock.
