Safest Domestic North American Lock?

[carrothook]

Hi, im not sure if this is the right section to put this.

What do you guys consider the safest domestic lock to use on North American Homes?

1st place goes to abloy protec.
2nd place goes to medeco m3.

Make sure your doors and frames and all applicable hardware are up to the task if you are considering these for installation.

He said domestic lock, so I'm guessing that means 'made in the U.S.', so in that case Medeco, with Schlage Primus close by.

There aren't a lot of high-security American-made locks out there.

If you can get the Protec, it's a tad more secure than the Medeco which is a tad more secure than the Primus.

You can, however, get the Evva MCS in both mortise and rim cylinder form, and that will beat any of them. It's on the order of $300-$400 per cylinder, though -- and hardly domestic.
