Overview

Schlage sells this as a one-sided, non-keyed deadbolt in matte black, a mechanical lock that needs no batteries. The seller asks you to measure the backset, cross bore and door thickness before buying to confirm fit.

A purely mechanical bolt with nothing to charge suits doors locked only from inside. The listing gives almost no specs on the bolt, finish or included hardware. Fit has to be checked against your own door.

Who it's for

Back doors, side doors and interior entries that only lock from the inside suit a one-sided bolt. Front doors used from outside need a keyed deadbolt.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No batteries to replace
  • Fully mechanical operation
  • Known lock brand
Cons
  • Backset and bolt specs not listed

Performance notes

A thumbturn throws the bolt from the inside only, so there is no outside cylinder to tamper with. Fit depends on matching the door's backset, bore and thickness. Alignment of the strike decides how smoothly the bolt throws.
