Superior Security with SmartKey

In addition to its ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification, the 980 deadbolt features SmartKey re-key technology, an innovation that gives you the ability to re-key your locks in a matter of seconds without removing the lock from your door. The SmartKey cylinder features a stainless steel side locking bar, racks, and pins for increased strength and security, and patented side locking bar technology offers improved security by protecting against lock bumping, an attack technique used to defeat conventional pin and tumbler locks. Add it to a keyed knob or lever for additional security.

Simple Re-Keying
You can re-key your lock in three easy steps: Insert the functioning key and turn it 1/4 turn clockwise; insert and remove the SmartKey learn tool and remove the functioning key; insert the new key and turn it 1/2 turn counter clockwise. The lock will then be re-keyed without the hassle and cost of replacing the entire lock or removing it from your door. All of this allows you to feel confident in providing temporary access to neighbors, babysitters, contractors, and household help, knowing that any lost, loaned, or unreturned keys become useless.

A google search will talk about this product's reported ability to prevent lock-bumping along with lots of amateur and semi-pro locksmith sites that will basically show you that any lock can be defeated by someone with enough time, energy, and knowhow. That said, you need locks and you need good locks. These have been very good locks for us after 18 months of use.

In that time, our babysitter has lost her set of keys to our house twice. We have 10 locks in the house. To have a locksmith come out to rekey them all would be really costly and time consuming. In reality, I just would have taken the chance that she didn't drop them in front of the house and that no one would find them / use them if I didn't have these great locks. Instead, I stopped by a hardware store and had new keys made for everyone for less than ten bucks, then I rekeyed each lock in our house in less than 1 minute per lock.

When we were gone and had to give a tradesman access to the house in our absence, I just rekeyed the back door to a temporary key, gave him a copy and kept a copy for myself. He entered and exited as necessary while we were gone, then I rekeyed it to our original keyset when we returned.

It's very easy and inexpensive to give yourself peace of mind with these keys.

The lock is solid and well-built. It wasn't hard to install and the SmartKey feature is very nice. It took me just a few seconds to rekey the lock to match my other door locks. The product is a bit more than other locks but, to me, the additional features are worth the difference.

We already have these locks installed in our house by our builder and I needed another for an outdoor shed door that I built myself. This is a very well-built lock set. My door was prehung with lock holes already drilled with the excetption of the door jam hole needing to be deeper and cleaned out for the reinforcing piece. It took maybe 15 minutes to clean that out and the lock works great. You do need a good drill and new sharp bit that can drive the long screws into the door jam and stud in the wall. Another nifty feature is that this is a rekeyable lock and in a minute I can make it work with the key for our house. But for now, we leave it keyed differently because we have a gardener who needs to be in the shed and I don't want them having the key to the whole house.
