Schlage B60 Satin Chrome Deadbolt Keyed 1 Side - Highest Security

Our review of the Schlage B60 Satin Chrome deadbolt finds it best suited for homeowners who want a straightforward, heavy-duty upgrade for exterior doors. The single biggest reason to buy is its Grade 1/AAA certification and hardened 1-in deadbolt hardware, which give clear, real-world resistance to kicking and common forced-entry methods. Installation is practical for a competent DIYer and the lock ships with two keys and an integrated strike reinforcer so it can be fitted quickly to standard double-bore exterior doors.

Key Features

• Keyed operation: Deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key from the outside and by the inside turn unit for conventional keyed security at entry doors.
• Hardened bolt: Industry-leading 1-in deadbolt with a hardened steel spinning pin provides strong resistance against physical attacks.
• Anti-attack plates: Built-in anti-drill plates and anti-pick pins help deter common tampering techniques.
• Universal fit: The latch accepts 2-3/8-in or 2-3/4-in backsets and fits doors 1-3/8-in to 1-7/8-in thick, simplifying replacement of most residential deadbolts.
• Complete kit: Includes the lockset, two keys, integrated strike reinforcer and 3-in screws so the lock can be installed with a screwdriver.
• Durability warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime mechanical and finish warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Who It's For

This deadbolt is aimed at homeowners and renters with exterior entry doors who want a reliable, high-security lock without professional installation. It fits standard double-bore doors, so it is a good match for people replacing an old deadbolt or adding a second layer of keyed security to a front or rear entry.

It is less appropriate for interior doors, smart lock seekers or those who need electronic access features, since this model is a keyed mechanical deadbolt only. Customers who need a specific nonstandard backset or very thick doors should verify fit before buying.
