A trusted deadbolt is one of the most reassuring levels of protection for a house. It is an ancient technology proven to be effective in reducing unwanted entries and break-ins. With a good deadbolt in place, the door cannot be pushed open even if someone turns the knob. Schlage deadbolts are one of the industry leaders; here we review a popular Schlage deadbolt and compare it to a few others available on the market.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Schlage Deadbolt?<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Keyless Door Lock Install &amp; Top 5 Questions | Schlage Connect\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KmUOSgp9PKs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Schlage has been in the business of producing high quality and reliable door hardware for nearly 100 years. Deadbolts are designed to drive a locking mechanism into the door frame manually to prevent unwanted entry without the use of pins or springs. Schlage deadbolts range from the traditional single cylinder style all the way to a smart home integrated locking systems. The Schlage deadbolt we are looking at here is a Camelot style touch deadbolt. A touch deadbolt is one that uses a touchscreen to enter a key code that can be used in place of a key to unlock a door.<\/p>\n<h3>Product Specs<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Schlage-Deadbolt-Camelot-CAM-619\/dp\/B00YUPDW0Q?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schlage-Sense-Smart-Deadbolt-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<h6><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Schlage-Deadbolt-Camelot-CAM-619\/dp\/B00YUPDW0Q?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt with Camelot Trim Satin Nickel (BE479 CAM 619)<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Schlage-Deadbolt-Camelot-CAM-619\/dp\/B00YUPDW0Q?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\nCheck Price<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Schlage-Deadbolt-Camelot-CAM-619\/dp\/B00YUPDW0Q?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Schlage deadbolt<\/a>\u00a0we reviewed is the Schlage Touch which is a traditional Camelot style deadbolt with some new security twists. It is completely keyless and uses a numeric touchscreen to operate the standard keypad lock. Once the access code is entered the deadbolt has to be manually engaged. It lacks alarms, automatic features, or smart home integrations but is a strong and beautiful digital security lock.<\/p>\n<p>Schlage is well known for security and this lock meets ANSI commercial standards and is certified commercial Grade 2 which is more than sufficient for home use. It is smudge and fingerprint-resistant, will work in the rain or with gloves, and has a built-in LED illumination light for the number pad. A 9V battery provides the power for this Schlage deadbolt to work for 24,000 hours or 2 years with normal use.<\/p>\n<p>The touchscreen fits flush to the door and include a numeric pad, low battery icon, and programming mode icon. Programming mode is engaged when you are resetting codes, which can be done easily and as needed. The lock comes with two 4-digit codes that are unique to your lock, but it allows you to store up to 19 additional customized codes. Give a different code to your dog walker then you do your family.<\/p>\n<h3>How We Reviewed<\/h3>\n<p>This Schlage deadbolt installs indoors ranging in thickness from 1 \u215c inch to 1 \u00be inch and extends to 2 \u00bd inches with a thick door extender kit. The exterior deadbolt dimensions are 3 inches x 5.4 inches x 5.2 inches. It is 100 percent pick proof, 100 percent bump proof, and integrates a (new) anti-drill plate that prevents burglars from drilling past the keypad. The Schlage deadbolt excels at being a high quality, secure, safe touchpad lock.<\/p>\n<h3>Overall Price Range of the Best Deadbolt<\/h3>\n<p>Pricing is variable for home deadbolts. They are available for as little as $5 and as much as many hundred. The products we reviewed ranged in price from $15 USD to $85 USD, and the specific Schlage Deadbolt reviewed here is available on Amazon for about $80 USD.<\/p>\n<h3>What We Reviewed<\/h3>\n<p>We picked a few similar products available on the market to see how they compare to the Schlage Deadbolt we reviewed. Specifically, for each deadbolt we wanted to look at the price, ease of installation, re-keying or re-coding options, how much protection each offers, and the warranty.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Schlage Deadbolt<\/li>\n<li>Keyless Deadbolt<\/li>\n<li>Mortise Deadbolt<\/li>\n<li>Kwikset Single Cylinder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Schlage-Deadbolt-Camelot-CAM-619\/dp\/B00YUPDW0Q?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Schlage Deadbolt<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Schlage-Deadbolt-Camelot-CAM-619\/dp\/B00YUPDW0Q?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schlage-Sense-Smart-Deadbolt-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt with Camelot Trim Satin Nickel (BE479 CAM 619)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hands-free voice control requires Schlage Sense WiFi Adapter and Alexa device (sold individually)<\/li>\n<li>Free iOS and Android smartphone app lets you manage codes, set schedules and view usage history<\/li>\n<li>Lock and unlock from anywhere by pairing with the Schlage Sense WiFi Adapter (sold separately)<\/li>\n<li>Pair with Apple HomeKit devices to use with iOS and Siri voice control only<\/li>\n<li>Secure encryption.Door thickness range: 1 3\/8 inch to 1 3\/4 inch; thick door kit extends 1 7\/8inch to 2 1\/4 inch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Schlage-Deadbolt-Camelot-CAM-619\/dp\/B00YUPDW0Q?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><br \/>\nCheck Price<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ease of Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i> 5\/5<\/p>\n<p>Installation is easy and takes just minutes.

Although some new technology is integrating smartphone or bio identity into locks, most keyless deadbolts are unlocked using a numerical keypad. The one we are considering here is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lockey-USA-Mechanical-Keyless-Deadbolt\/dp\/B00QQ8LZMW?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Lockeye M210AB Mechanical Keyless Deadbolt<\/a>, a mechanical, push-button, keyless lock that has a bolt turn on the interior side and a keypad on the exterior side.<\/p>\n<p>It will work in all standard doors, and with an available extension kit, it will accommodate doors up to 5 inches thick. This model comes in several colors including jet black, satin nickel, bright brass, white, satin chrome, antique bronze, and oil rubbed bronze. Lockeye also offers a marine grade finish for homes near the shore or other saltwater bodies that can cause extra corrosion.<\/p>\n<p>This lock contains a mechanical tumbler and is not reliant on electricity or batteries. It can be coded with security codes ranging in length from two to 6 numbers. It is important to note that the numerical codes are not sequentially dependent and to change them the entire door lock must be disassembled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ease of Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i> 4\/5<\/p>\n<p>Traditional deadbolts are the simplest to install and the Lockeye adds a level of complexity in installation. However, with some basic mechanical skill, a careful review of the instructions and time, most people will install this deadbolt on their own. Please note you will want to set your desired numerical unlocking code before installation; changing the code requires disassembly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resetting Codes and Keys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i> 3\/5<\/p>\n<p>Resetting the code for the Lockeye deadbolt requires taking the deadbolt off the door and taking it apart. Then the code is set via small pins, slots, and wheels which require good eyesight or magnifying glasses. It is unfortunately difficult and cumbersome. However, the codes can be reset which is important if you loan your code out to someone you&#8217;d rather not have it anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i> 2\/5<\/p>\n<p>The deadbolt itself in the Lockeye suffices for keeping a door solidly closed from intruders. Unfortunately, protection is diminished because of the code set up of the lock. The numerical code used to secure and unlock the deadbolt is a two to six number code which does not depend on the sequence of the numbers. If you choose your birthday of 0504 as your code, 0054 will also work and so will 5004. This reduces the security level of the keyless lock significantly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warranty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i><i>\u2605<\/i> 4\/5<\/p>\n<p>The Lockey keyless deadbolt comes with a Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, which covers manufacturer defects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keyless means no keys to keep track of<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changing code is difficult<\/li>\n<li>Codes are not secure<\/li>\n<li>Included instructions insufficient<\/li>\n<li>High-end price for a moderate product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mortise-Lockset-Deadbolt-residential-Commercial\/dp\/B0719KVDVS?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Mortise Deadbolt<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mortise-Lockset-Deadbolt-residential-Commercial\/dp\/B0719KVDVS?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mortise-Lock-Entry-Lockset-Deadbolt-for-residential-Commercial-Backset-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Mortise Lock Entry Lockset Deadbolt for residential Commercial Backset\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mortise Lock Entry Lockset Deadbolt for residential Commercial Backset<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mortise Lockset &#8211; Solid Brass Bolt With Extra Security.<\/li>\n<li>1-1\/8&#8243; 5 pin ease to rekey Schlage SC1 key way cylinder with 2 keys.<\/li>\n<li>Easy To Install &#8211; Screwless knobs and plate.<\/li>\n<li>Edge faceplate 1&#8243; X 7-5\/8&#8243; and 2-1\/2&#8243; backset and 1&#8243; deadbolt.<\/li>\n<li>Exterior plate 2-3\/4&#8243; X 10&#8243; , Interier plate 2-1\/4&#8243; X 7&#8243;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mortise-Lockset-Deadbolt-residential-Commercial\/dp\/B0719KVDVS?tag=alarmreviews03-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\nCheck Price<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mortise locks are set within the door itself rather than on top.

The only potential downsides we note is that the electronics of the lock only carry a 3-year warranty. Over time and a lot of use, the most often used numbers may show wear.
