Our verdict

A one-sided deadbolt that adds a locked-from-inside bolt to an entry door with only a screwdriver. It has no key cylinder, so it cannot be opened from outside.

Overview

Homeowners who want an extra bolt that only works from inside get a single-sided deadbolt with a round satin nickel thumb turn. It fits standard doors, the latch adjusts with a twist, and every screw and plate you need comes in the box.

Extra security without another key to carry is the reason to buy it, since nobody outside can attack a cylinder that does not exist. It pairs with an existing keyed lock. The product description contradicts the bullets about a key outside, so confirm the unkeyed version is what you are getting.

Who it's for

Front, side or garage entry doors that people leave by another route suit it, along with rooms that need a privacy bolt. A sole exterior entry needs a keyed deadbolt so you can lock it on the way out.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No outside cylinder to attack
  • Adjustable latch backset
  • Fits standard door thicknesses
  • Microban treated hardware
Cons
  • Cannot be locked from outside
  • Grade 3 is the entry BHMA level
  • Description conflicts with unkeyed bullets

Performance notes

Security depends on the strike and its screws reaching into the frame, so screw length and door jamb condition matter as much as the bolt. The adjustable latch sets backset with a twist. With no outside cylinder, picking and bumping are not possible.
