Mul-T-Lock Cronus High Security Grade 2 Single Cylinder Dead-Bolt w/Thumb Turn 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 Adjustable Backset for Commercial and Residential Metal Or Wood Doors (Stainless Steel)

If you're thinking $5-15 deadbolts are, at best, better than no deadbolt at all, you're correct. If you're not thinking that, you stand to be corrected. Your only online or local hardware/big-box store choice is a step up to the $35-40 price point. The Kwikset 980 is demonstrably bump and pick proof but armored just beyond slightly effective. (Since 2016, their Advanced Smartkey locks can no longer be opened with force tools.) The Schlage B60 is heavily armored but is easily bumped with a $5 key; their SC1 5-pin cylinder is pathetically obsolete. The next step up is to high-security deadbolts that run $150-200 for "light commercial" products. Real ones go for $300-400. Except for the lone wolf in the pack: The affordable Mul-T-Lock MD1 and MD2, the Cronus single and double cylinder. It's built like a tank and fitted with high security cylinders and keys having telescopic pin-within-pins, multiple shear lines and bitting. And that's just for starters. Sold here is the Junior with the five chamber 008J platform normally marketed as the 008 (was 006), known as the Classic. "Junior" is just the name for Mul-T-Lock's retail marketing program for several general purpose items from their 100's of otherwise specialized products. Among the Juniors are padlocks, plugs/cylinders, a lockset and the Cronus. The "not-Junior" products are fitted with the big-bucks ClassicPro (x86x), Interactive (206SP) or MT5+ (616B) platforms or even bigger-buck platforms. There is nothing junior about the Junior Cronus and its 008J. NOTE: The drawing and illustration images I've pulled from Mul-T-Lock docs shows two side cuts on the 006/008 key. The 008J key has a third side cut which runs through the area used in the more advanced platforms. One might presume this is to prevent locksmiths from buying blanks under the Junior program price points and cutting premium keys on the cheap. The images nonetheless present accurately the Classic lock/tumbler technology in the Junior Cronus. Concerning the bad guy standing at your home's door, you should Google "ansi grade 1 vs 2" to understand it's irrelevant in this discussion. Fully Grade 2, this Cronus is a good leap beyond any $15-40 marginally Grade 1 deadbolts you'll buy online or at the local hardware or big-box store. Your neighborhood store won't have Mul-T-Lock key blanks and cutting machines. See the Mul-T-Lock website for the local locksmiths, if any, where you live and you'll need to show your duplication authentication card. Don't throw it out with the packaging! Slsupply can provide more (now or later) than the three keys included with the Junior Cronus but not as Prime or Fulfilled by Amazon. As well, they filled my order for two locks and six keys, all keyed alike. Message them for ordering instructions. Mul-T-Lock's scale up product is their Grade 1 Hercular (HD1, HD2, HDC). If you can afford it (and you'd unlikely be here if you could), only some bragging rights is what you'll get for your cost effective and practical home owner needs vs the Cronus. I've combined a Cronus deadbolt with a Kwikset SmartKey lever on each of my outward opening steel security doors. Getting past this will require determined and appreciable destruction - a necessity when filing a breaking and entering claim with the insurance company.

High quality lock. Not difficult to install however if you're replacing an old dead bolt it's very possible that the hole cut in the door that the lock is mounted in is not in the proper position for this lock. Less expensive or old dead bolts are a little too close to door jam. That what happened to me. Still, this is a high quality item that I am keeping. I'll figure it out.

Well built. Key has dimples in the side instead of teeth. I would say it’s more secure than homeowner grade locks. Key is big with a plastic head so it’s easier to find in the dark

So far working realy good 👍🏼

Great product.

It was quite easy to install this unit, took me less than 10min. looks a lot more durable than previously installed $10ish dead bolt lock on my front door. Would like to recommend for anyone who is looking for additional security in your home.

Great lock. Impressed with how heavy built it is. Very smooth, came it perfect condition. Replaced a kwikset deadbolt, the weight difference is really telling. This is a high quality deadbolt, not cheap big box store junk.

Locked was either picked or they made a key for it! My guess they made a key bec when I got home from worked the door was locked 5/28!when I got inside it showed they were in here! They always to do it! There pros there smart a well organized all bec my phone is cyber hack so they know every move I make! Padlocks they go thru like butter!! Just look at the security products I have bought a they still get in a security cameras a they were Arlo they didn’t help either Ty for listening to this Netflix movie!!

Pêne dormant très lourd et très solide avec une clé très spéciale et inviolable. Je vais l'installer dans quelques jours, quand la température le permettra. Merci

I love this lock. It was easy to install, and it is a pleasure to use. I love you it doesn't matter which way you insert the key, especially when it's dark. Now it's less likely that someone can bump my lock. Fast delivery! My only concern is buying two more Mul T Locks keyed alike.

This dead bolt is two steps above your standard door lock. Great security features keep me in sound mind when I am away from home. The Joe youtuber will not be able to pick this lock and gain access to your home.

2 semaines après l’installation je subi encore des invasions de domicile
