Kwikset Smart Key VS Schlage Deabolt Locks Best Most Secure Locks For Your Home Door

[@ferjeouichaker]

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

[@smokeydoke100]

I just changed the locks on my house and had trouble deciding between these two (basically the only brands that my Lowe's had in stock.) Glad now that I went with the Schlage.

[@SillyOmega]

We prefer Schlage too. Day and and night difference kwick set sucks.

[@gemini0673]

I was trying to learn about this smart key technology and found your video. Thanks for such a comprehensive review. I know know not to fiddle with the smart key technology or Kwikset for that matter. I'll be buying the Schlage.

[@waynewinton]

Good choice!

[@vdub5818]

Us knife makers drill 60+ Hrc steel all the time, granted I use seriously high end solid carbide drills for that purpose. Said drill bits can cost at least 3 times what the schlage deadbolt costs lol BTW, thanks for validating my purchase. I figured the Schlage was a higher quality unit, especially once you take one glance at the castings. Kwitset castings can hardly be called that, while the Schlage is beefy as can be.

[@timothyfoy7993]

Ive Been a Professional Locksmith for 37 plus years,Kwikset Smartkey Drill Proof My Arse,I can Plow a Drill Straight through that lock like a Hot Knife through Butter!!! Yea Dicast,Plastic,Pot Metal,Hollow Deadbolt Latch!!! Kwikset Smartkey Piece of Dog Shite,now the Schlege Bluedog is a whole Different Horse of another color!!! Excellent Lock system all in all,Except for its still made in Mexico and im not too Thrilled about the Quality of the products that come out of there at all!!! I can Defete a Kwikset Smartkey in less then 30 Secons,take your HPC 1200 CM Or CMB use the Proper card C31 and cut the 1st key to Max Depth all the way 1 cut at a time of course!!!

Either Right away or VERY VERY SOON Afterwards?? Cheers Mate!!! T. Foy Airrborne Lock and Safe Co. Coeurd'Alene Idaho

What about brinks?

[@homeguestunton]

Generic locks are even worse for picking.

[@BlindLemonFishStix]

I have a rental house, and I honestly prefer the Kwikset for that. The house has been broken into in the past and they just kick the door in. Even with a deadbolt, this is the case No one takes the time to drill out the locks, they just kick the door in. Locks only stop people from casual entry. If they want in, they will get in.

[@TubysBasement]

Get a proper door with the strikeplate drilled deep into the beams, use 3" screws. They will wake up the whole neighborhood and take at least 10 minutes to kick it in. If someone is willing to stand there and kick the door for that long and make so much noise then sell your rental property, the hood is too bad!

[@BlindLemonFishStix]

​@@TubysBasement You have obviously not dealt with a determined thief.

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

my house has a reinforced Front Door and side door, with Absurdly Long screws on the strike and the hinges. Anyone trying to kick those doors in will only leave a dent in them.

[@jesantonihevileon8611]

The trick is install a steel frame .

[@BriaroniAndCheese]

Try kicking in heavy steel security doors with three tungsten carbide deadbolts?

[@jacquelinegros403]

Thank you. I have to buy new locks and didn’t know what to buy. I left the store without purchasing anything.

[@jakesmith6705]

do you have a suggestion for a landlord looking to do locks on all buildings and who likely needs re-keying and possibly single master key accessibility? thanks

[@BigBrownSwag]

I'd assume the most kick resistant your locks can be would be how strong the wood in your door frame is! Granted you're not going to kick through metal but the metal can be kicked through the wood! Great video, glad to know I've picked the better lock!

[@seriousx3021]

Unless you go the extra mile and have a metal border.

[@ccrites123]

They make a security strike plate that comes with 3" screws to make it nearly impossible to kick in a door.

[@hillbillylocksport5547]

I am a hobby picker..... just picked a gen 3 smartkey... it was hard but once I learned the tricks I to it it's not hard at all.... also agree on the rekey failures..... that sucker is complicated on the inside and lots of ways to malfunction

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

Prone to seizures when rekeying

[@Peaches46]

I’ve been in my house, about 12 years. The lever type lock set was already here and just now has a problem with the cylinder not fully going back in. It is a Kwikset. So, am I right, in thinking they’ve gone down, in quality? Glad I watched this before buying a new set!

[@actionjksn]

It's not that they have gone down in quality it's just that they have never been high quality and they have always been an order of magnitude worst quality than Schlage. They have always been available for a slightly cheaper price and they have always been cheaper for a reason Never buy Kwikset locks, unless you really don't care about security at all.

[@juanroman434]

Thank you again Wayne. I have been learning a lot from your videos. Juan

[@waynewinton]

Great thanks for watching

[@manhattanluggage]

Nice thank you, what model is the Schlage lock?

[@michaelcapkanis8534]

Hi Wayne - Perhaps helpful to remind people that it is possible to rekey the Schlage to match existing locks. Any decent hardware store, in about 10 minutes. I'm a layman with some technical ability and have done several - no sweat. Have older Schlage so swapped out a few springs and pins to resist drilling, picking and bumping. Oh! My wife was locked out and the locksmith was extremely frustrated and apologetic about not being able to pick or bump them! he had to force them.

[@waynewinton]

nice!

[@JPSola5iver]

Hey Wayne, thanks for your review above. Through your experience, is there a Schlage zwave lock that you like or prefer over another? Thanks in advance.

[@waynewinton]

Yes there touch pad deadbolt is great!

[@whollymary7406]

Thank You for the security tips very helpful

[@gvgaming3603]

i got a tip for you dont only get this also put gud locks on your windows mate

[@eldebtor6973]

Thanks for the video, Wayne.

[@brooksthepro]

Thank you so much for all your videos, they have been very helpful!

[@sackalzement]

I was just researching the KwikSet locks and found that Consumer Reports recommends them. But it also seems that one would have to make sure to get the latest version, which appears to be improved and doesn't have many of the previous vulnerabilities. Du your reservations about KwikSet still apply to the latest versions? Thanks!

[@waynewinton]

yes.

[@waynewinton]

I qualify. I buy them brand new off the big box store self...... And I test them. I also run into them in the feild at work. Same old crap

[@timothyfoy7993]

Yes Id Say so,they are still Pretty much the same lock as was Produced in the 70's and 80's with the Exception of the Smartkey Addition in the Recent past!!! You can Interchange almost all the parts from Lock 30 to 40 years old with todays Kwikset Locks!! Again with the Exception of the Kwikset Smartkey and it Internal Components!!!

[@crazyamericangamer7036]

I see that they added something pretty smart to theyre locks

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

The DumbKey "Security" 😏

[@john_thorpe]

One problem I found with Schlage (at least at Lowes) is that they pack 5 or 6 locks/deadbolts in a lot with the same key code. For example I went to Lowes to get new locks after an unwanted houseguest vacated the house. When installing the lock, I noticed the key was basically flat ... i.e.: easily picked with a rake (did it). So went back to exchange it for keys that have more differences in the pin depths ... instead of the key being 35343 for more of a one that was 57384 (made up numbers). Now when looking at the keys to make sure I got one that had varying pin depths, I noted that the slat of the same dead bolt styles had the same key code on the box, and the slat had 5 or 6 locks. It's nice if you're replacing many many locks, but if your just replacing 2 and the unwanted guest knows where you buy your hardware, it's easy for the unwanted person to go and buy 1 dead bolt of the same style and have the exact key that fits your new lock (unless you bought the last 2 from the slat). Now what I think Schlage should do is to only put a maximum of 2 locks that use the same key code in on a slat that they sell to places like Lowes, etc. That way it's more difficult for someone to go buy the same style dead bolt lock and have the same key. I think Lowes, etc. should have a few people who can re-pin locks, so if you want multiple locks with the same key, they'd re-pin it to fit that key vs. straight out of the box. They did this for a lock my roommate bought years ago, don't know if they still do this now or not. Now if I was a thief, noticing this would be a possible gold mine... i.e.: notice someone buying the dead bolt, follow them home to find out where they live, go back to the store buy the same style lock, go back to the home and wait till everyone leaves and just use the key to get in ... no real need to break anything. Schlage is a better lock than Kwikset, but selling ones with a virtually a flat key pin and a store having multiple locks with the same key on a slat, defeats this. Thankfully I found a couple in a style I liked that was the last ones they had and wasn't a flat key type to get around these, but Schlage should be aware of this.

[@z1522]

Stquinn has it. The scenario would necessitate you loitering for hours, until a person finally bought a lockset, then you must both follow them all the way home, unobserved, yet also somehow make note of which set they purchased, unobserved, so as to buy the same one. Then, monitor their home regularly until they have installed the unit, finally making your entry feasible. Meanwhile, ordinary burglars with pry tools or sledge hammers could have robbed scores of enticing homes.

[@JoeDiGiovanniIV]

They only make 4 locks keyed alike. This is great for people who want their doors keyed alike, and the odds of needing more than 4 keyed alike is on the rare side, and besides that, even if someone knew exactly where you bought your lock theres no guarantee that there would be any left with your same key. That would mean having to buy one of each that is stocked in the box sleeves of 4. At this point, it's safe to say if someone is that determined to get in, they're doing it in a very unreasonable, unrealistic, expensive and potentially and most likely unsuccessful way

[@homeguestunton]

For knobs, Schlage isn’t better the latches are a design flaw which means when it gets older, The latch will either get stuck inside, Or completely jam up and get you stuck in your house, And the knob will just turn, When the other internals are fine. While with Kwikset when they get jammed it’s always the retracting pin or just needs lubricant.

[@fredbecker607]

We just replaced several of these kwikset locks. Keys quit working. Had to break one out because of need to get in quickly.

[@lordleonusa]

The door handles inside my home are Kwikset, but on my outside doors I have MUL-T-LOCK deadbolts and Schlage. (I cannot recommend Medeco because they couldn't be bothered to reply to my emails).

[@chris18228]

You can disassemble the kwikset lock without a special tool I just did one that I bought from a garage sale that did not have a key and I rekeyed it for a new key

[@donnycrouter3334]

I want to buy a schlage deadbolt lock at Walmart how can I tell if comes with gold keys or silver keys

[@Simon-rx2ow]

Coo thanks for shareing, off to see the plasticset review... I mean the Kwikset :)

[@waynewinton]

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

how about "S.tet SiezeKey?"

[@ganzonomy]

My mom wanted a Kwikset 660 PlastiLok. I wound up putting onto the door a Schlage B60. I also upgraded the doorknob to a Schlage Plymouth G2. The result is that the door no longer binds when a Key is put in. She's not pleased though because now the tolerances are much tighter. Schlage >>>> Kwikset every day.

[@timothyfoy7993]

You should have gone with The B660 Commercial grade!!!

[@jminternationalincartgalle2804]

Which Schlage is that that is pick and bumble resisted and how much does it cost, number code for purchase or online finding? I'm having serious problems from a person that bump keys my locks. Please help.

[@rchungtw]

If I am locked out and have the more secure Schlage lock, would a locksmith be able to open it?

[@waynewinton]

they should. a good locksmith can

[@timothyfoy7993]

Yes more then likely???

[@kgrand447]

Thank you for this ! Very informative and helpful !

[@fenderstratguy]

In your opinion, are the old Kwikset Tylo (non-Smart Key) locks as vulnerable as the new Smart Key versions? When I put them on my house it was because I had so many windows that were so easy to break into (I thought, 'Why spend hundreds of $$$ on locks when a pro will just go through one of my windows in 10 seconds?")

[@waynewinton]

they can be picked and lock bumped, but they cannot be opened with a screwdriver like the new ones

[@fenderstratguy]

+Wayne Winton Thank you!

[@waynewinton]

[@louiscyfer6944]

havea dog inside, going through the window just became very didficult. also security bars on the windows. then you can put a good lock, not the schlage shit but either abloy or assa. medeco is compromised.

[@happiness1736]

Hi. Wayne I want to know can I buy any schlage deadbolt lock set?

[@sweetboykenny9754]

The best lock that I would pick is schlage lock because it's my favorite brand than the kwikset

[@OOICU812]

[@kellythacker1914]

That is what we have had for 25 years. Locked out once and it took lock service 45 minutes to get us in. He said that these were the best locks.

[@alison0997]

Ahhhh damn it!! I'll now be heading back to Home Depot to return this Kwikset deadbolts. So glad I found your video before installing these. Thanks for the good info!!

[@waynewinton]

good thing you found it first

[@MarkAlanLange]

Great job

[@NKaumans]

Kwikset also bevels there pins because their tolerances are so bad. Beveled pins make for a nice fat shear line with huge amount of feedback

[@stevensenlacere1619]

in 2017 kwikset addressed the brute force issue, the tool no longer works.

[@rook2759]

We are moving and I will need to change out all the deadbolts (the house has only keyed one side and turn on the inside but the doors are windowed). I want to get Schlage but I don't want to have to pay to get keyed to the same key. Do they have an option where I can purchase bulk and are keyed the same?

[@JoeDiGiovanniIV]

You can buy up to four keyed alike cylinders in the box stores. Just make sure the key code matches on the side. They are usually in a box sleeve of 4

[@MrChipBryant]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and training.

[@81spyder]

Should do a vid on how crappy Schlage compression cylinders are. That are in ALL of Schlage's knob/levers in big box stores.

[@grimloktt]

what about the kwikset kevo electronic smart lock? does it have the same shortcomings of the kwikset in this video?

[@waynewinton]

yep

[@timothyfoy7993]

No it Does Not,Its a Almost Completely Redesigned Lock!!! Totally Different Class of Lock!!! Much More Expensive too!!!

[@Woo-7073]

If I am going to Home depot to buy 4 Schlage double keyed deadbolts . How do I tell if it is a newer one that has the upgraded features that you mentioned above? What is the model name and number for the above Sclage lock ? Is there a manufacturing date or something on the box so I know that my Schlage has the features you mentioned ?

[@waynewinton]

[@homeguestunton]

I’ve haven’t seen much problems with newer Kwikset only one what I did on purpose. Surprisingly I never had that much problems with generic locks the issue is the latches are sticky on cheap locks causing latch to get stuck inside.

[@okeeed]

I purchased on of the Schlage deadbolt locks before viewing your video, however I tried to install it and found plenty of plastic parts inside, do you have a specific Model # you referring to in this video that has no plastic parts inside. Thanks

[@waynewinton]

Not at the hardware store. however you need to realize that there is no plastic in the actual lock cylinder itself. there are only plastic pieces in the bolt and on the tailpiece

[@actionjksn]

If anybody thinks he is pushing Schlage Locks for financial reasons I can tell you he is being perfectly honest about this. I do home improvements including door installation and I only recommend Schlage Locks for residential grade locks. Kwikset locks have always been inferior quality to Schlage Locks. I've been changing and installing locks professionally for over 25 years and Kwikset has never been as good. Not even close. Any Schlage lock you can buy is better than a residential grade Kwikset lock. I actually clicked on this video because if he had said that Kwikset locks are better then I was going to call him out on it. Fortunately he gave you good advice and he obviously knows more about locks than I do while I probably know more about installing doors than he does because that's what I do for a living.

[@homeguestunton]

I actually think Kwikset is better. Easy to rekey, Easy To install, Kwikset is GREAT AT LEAST NOWADAYS The older ones are JUNK.

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

i have a Much Better experience with Schlage than Kwikset's smartkeyed hardware bc i tried the rekeying process on a Kwikset smartkeyed lever, and the cylinder just decided to lock itself. i then had to take the cylinder apart, and reset the cylinder, and now it works. i Never had that problem with Schlage, since they design their cylinders to last a Long Time. 20.Sep.2020

[@homeguestunton]

I have had problems with Schlages where the knob is sticky when you turn too hard it will get stuck INSIDE, and when a coat or something is in the way it will basically jam. With Kwikset I’ve had the knob break but that’s because of the retracting pin, if i didn’t mess with it. It would’ve worked for years DUH. Older Kwiksets are ABSOLUTE JUNK New Kwikset and EVEN Schlage is MUCH BETTER than Older Kwiksets.

Drill screws to open smartkey and remove the cap on cylinder before. you will see the screws.

[@derekbroestler7687]

Great video on the comparison between the two. As a fellow locksmith I agree, the Kwikset "smart"key is absolute junk... I can't tell you how many of these things I've seen fail, sometimes in just a few months... Add to that their weakness against forced entry (which lets face it, is the usually the preferred method by criminals) and I recommend customers avoid these at all costs... What's REALLY disappointed me however is to see Baldwin use the same cylinders for their "Prestige" line. Customers assume they're buying a "real" Baldwin, only to get a the same cylinder as a $20 Kwikset. (at least Baldwin replaces them free of cost when they eventually break)

[@waynewinton]

yes it is. I used to like Baldwin but am now pretty disappointed.

[@derekbroestler7687]

Their standard products are still quality, and use the Schlage C keyway, and are ACTUALLY 100% lifetime guarantee on all parts and finish, which you can't beat... The BIG problem is that the box stores either ONLY stock the "Prestige" or their selection of the original Baldwin is so small you can miss it even if you know what you're looking for, so you pretty much HAVE to go to their website these days...

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

in the long haul, i prefer Baldwin hardware's estate series over their "Prestige" series

[@crazyamericangamer7036]

Do a more compare video like this but with other companys please

[@billpeirce7456]

So what one is that?

[@tvbox6955]

ahhh thanks ahhh for ahhh a ahhh nice ahhh video ahhh

[@Redspeciality]

They are very hard to pick, it took lockpicking lawyer almost a whole minute to pick these

[@nelsonoliveira4804]

+Wayne Winton Thanks for your very informative video and expert advice. Really appreciate it for a newbie like me. I also sent you an email as well!

[@skygh]

For dead bolts I agree. For residential locks never buy Kwikset anything. It's made as cheap as possible and Smart Key is very unreliable and insecure. Worse now there is a tool you can read the keying visibly then punch out a key(if you have that ability). I hate to say I am not a big fan of F series Schlage latchsets and locksets either. They need to do some design changes because they are easily bi-passed and forced open also. Schlage's higher end locks are stellar however. That said you will pay more for better security but how smart is it to defend everything you own with a thirty buck lock? Harden your house and send the ne'er do wells to that neighbor you don't like.

[@timothyfoy7993]

The F-Lock is a Gigantic POS,the Backset fails and Fails Big time!!! Ive replaced a Zillion of those POS Backsets in the past!!!

[@lorimac0260]

Maybe you haven't been a crime victim as much as me. I have some horrible karma. Frequently criminals don't want to leave break-in evidence. That's because the police won't even file a report unless there's forced entry. But thank you: I will now have BOTH!

Kwikset Smart Key VS Schlage Deabolt Locks. Best Most Secure Locks For Your Home Door. Strip away the advertising and find out what really is making you front door locks secure for your home or business!

[@donnyaston555]

+Wayne Winton I need to know is schlage door knobs the same why as the schlage deadbolt let me know

[@waynewinton]

Yes

[@davek2999]

+Wayne Winton really? I'm surprised your saying the door handles are just as secure as the deadbolts?

[@waynewinton]

+Dave K The cylinders are the same. I did not say a knob or lever lock is as secure as a deadbolt.But the cylinders are the same so stripping away the the housing and looking at the lock its self they are equil

[@gerardwalker564]

they haven't figured it out yet. Schlage or Kwikset or any of the lock manufactures, I have 4 locks I did something to that makes them totally secure. no bumping or picking. all they need is anti drill features in the right places. the idea is to get in quickly. not going to happen with my locks. loose the key and your having to break a window to get in. only way.

[@caseG80]

So where do you need to drill

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

my front door is reinforced around the door frame and it will Not budge an inch if you try and kick the door in.

[@connerstines1578]

I'll stick to industrial grade 1 locks like Best and Corbin Russwin. WAYYY better than any residential shit iv'e seen so far. Expensive, but better.

[@Jwick1518]

All my kwikset locks have to have the cylinder re set. Lowes sucks and so does kwikset support!

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

*00:39* My reasoning for Kwikset's "N⁰ 1 best-selling lock" claim is that people are buying replacements of the same model, in which the first one they bought broke.

[@jamesmorales710]

Can anyone re-key it the Kwikset? It dosen't look safe ..

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

Even You can rekey a Kwikset smartkey cylinder

[@octavioflores4642]

Regardless of which lock you choose if someone's wants to break in your house they gonna they both work as they say it is

[@NKaumans]

Really.. T-Pins and spooled drivers?.. I've never come across a Schlage that I couldn't open with the exception of their Primus series. To open them quickly I usually just snap gun them as it's quicker than hand picking their limited keyway.

[@timothyfoy7993]

Most of the Chinese Locks have them in their Upper/top Drivers!!! Ez-set and alike Locks Employ Spools/and T-pins in their designs!!!

[@sheerinn.3732]

You look like Tom Cruise with a beard 😄

[@paulsolfelt8452]

security pins do not stop a properly cut bump key at alll!!!

[@paulsolfelt8452]

I will believe it when I find out a shear point bump key won't bump it in 5 seconds but I doubt it, at least it will be resistant to the average Joe with junk ripoff bump keys sold online!!!

[@christophertstone]

When you're talking about one lock, don't put your hands on both. It's very hard to tell which lock you're talking about when you keep pointing to both. You really should be able to pick a standard Schlage lock with spools and t-pins. They aren't much harder that standard pins. T-Pins are only meant to prevent bumpkeys, and spools prevent raking. The KwikSet can also be bypassed. There's a tool available that goes into that small hole and allows any key to work in the lock. No forcing the lock, no evidence that it's been tampered with, no skill involved. KwikSet is a penetration tester's dream.

I would not compare the Medico HIGH security lock to a Schlage... the two are very different and not even in the same planet.

[@waynewinton]

Jonathan Rosas actually some real locksmiths pick Medeco Locks just as fast as schlage

[@MrJonrosas817]

Wayne Winton key word some

[@MrJonrosas817]

Wayne Winton I've seen a lot of your videos and I like them buddy but this one kinda put me side ways. Schlages are ok they are fun to pick but the kwikset are just stupid. I have done so many things to them that they just open. A flat head screwdriver can open it. I would never tell anyone to put a lock like that anywhere near there home or store. I guess if they were paying me to lie to the people about it I guess I would tell them but other then that I would not do it.

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

the Kwikset smartkey cylinder is a Failure in itself.

[@wb5mgr]

So, the two guys that gave this vid a thumbs down work at kwikset? 😏

[@waynewinton]

most likely

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

hopefully, @@waynewinton, this gives them an idea on where they are at. 😏
