what to consider for a good residential lock

[strkr]

besides from picking and bumping, what else should someone consider for a good residential lock? Assumming cost is an issue not more than $50 for a deadbolt. I was surprised when I bumped my Schlage deadbolt. it took me faster to bump it than picking it.

You won't for $50.

Medeco m3 for picking, bumping, unauthorized duplication and drill out protection. If you don't want to pay for m3, get a traditional Medeco. While it doesn't offer any protection against unauthorized duplication, Medeco is still top notch when it comes to bump and pick resistance.

Install free rotating rim or recessed cylinder, reinforced door frame to protect against brute force attack. Install a thumb wheel cover inside to protect against drilling a tiny hole in the door to manipulate the thumbwheel. Avoid lever type indoor door handle.

yep, what WOT said. and it has a long throw strong deadbolt, some locks even have a hardened roller bearing inside the dead bolt, so a hacksaw will start rolling that bearing if anyone cuts that deep in the hardend bolt.
