Schlage B60 Deadbolt — Keyed Exterior, Grade 1 Residential, Matte Black
Product description
What’s included: complete deadbolt assembly, universal latch, reinforced strike plate with three 3" screws, self-aligning mounting hardware and two cut keys.
Construction and security: Built of premium metal components, this lock features a full 1-inch throw deadbolt reinforced with a hardened steel spinning pin and anti-drill plates. Pin tumblers include anti-pick elements to raise the difficulty of manipulation attacks. The unit carries a Grade 1/AAA BHMA certification for Security, Durability and Finish, reflecting its heavy-duty design for everyday residential use.
Fit and compatibility: Designed for doors prepared with two bore holes, the universal latch accepts either a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset. It supports door thicknesses from 1-3/8" up to 1-7/8" and works on both right- and left-handed doors. The integrated strike reinforcer and long screws help resist kick-in forces.
Installation and operation: Screw-aligned mounting holes and a self-aligning latch mean the deadbolt installs with just a screwdriver in most cases, making it a simple upgrade for standard exterior doors. The deadbolt is operated with a key from the outside and a turn-piece on the interior for quick egress.
Warranty and brand: The product is backed by a limited lifetime warranty on mechanical parts and finish, plus a three-year electronics warranty where applicable. For over a century, the maker has focused on blending distinctive hardware styling with protective performance to secure homes.

Prefer keyed both sides for security
I upgraded to keyed units so the deadbolt can’t be turned from inside after a break-in. Installed on two doors and much happier with the security.

Solid upgrade with basic anti-tamper features
Easy to rekey and install. Uses spool-style pins and a hardened plate to raise resistance to picking and drilling; comes with a beefy strike plate.

Quality seems down recently
Materials and finish look cheaper than older units I’ve used. Cutbacks in production worry me about long-term durability.

Same key as another unit
Quality meets expectations, but it shipped with the same key as another lock I bought, which is inconvenient for commercial use.
