best lock for practice

Postby Rodfather23 » 7 Jun 2007 17:19

Omg I can't stop drooling I was just at my local lowes and they have a kwikset ultra max and a normal schlage deadbolt both double sided on clearance for $12 each. My question is .......which would be a better lock to get? I have been mostly using a kwikset knock off to practice on and am pretty good at getting in it. I know the ultramax has security pins but does the schlage? I did see the schlage key on the one in the front and it didn't look like a very hard keying.


Might be worth a shot to check other lowes also to see if they have them on clearance there too. (For other people interested)
