Is this as secure as the Schlage keyless deadbolt?

No, This is a regular door latch. In my opinion ,a deadbolt is more secure.

I would have to say no because it not a deadbolt. It is as secure as a standard passage lock without needing a key.

Yes, in fact I think it is better than a deadbolt because there is no evidence of the lock from the outside of the door.

Unless they come in a set, I don't see how Schlage would make them with the same key. I've been looking for a set of locks using the same key/code.

we sell the Steal Shield coupler lock, I cannot answer any questions about this brand name other than " you get what you pay for " We believe the Steal Shield is the best, most secure lock available on the market. Sorry I can't answer your question about this brand.

Yes. I had about 10 locks rekeyed by a locksmith to work with an existing schlage key. My understanding from reading reviews of schlage rekeying kits is that you can do it yourself. I don't plan on doing this again so didn't research which kit is needed. I suggest asking schlage directly. They have contact info on their website and are very responsive.

Not sure. I had this one for a couple weeks. I hated that you couldn't unlock it when you wanted without the code. So I bought the other Schlage one. A little more pricey but we have 3 in our house and the batteries last a long time and you can lock and unlock when you want.

Ya. Works with the very popular schlage 5 pin key locks. Quality seemed fine to me.

I rekeyed it to a Schlage 6 pin key. Not a problem if you know what you're doing or have a locksmith.

I don't think it can--how else are you going to lock yourself out? (kidding!) That's how these locking entry knobs are designed to work, it's a safety feature allowing emergency exit. Schlage does make other styles that do what you want. See http://answers.schlage.com/entries/20379577-When-the-door-is-locked-I-can-still-open-the-door-Emergency-Exit-

Maybe. It really depends on the pins in your existing lock. Look at your Schalge key, printed on the key should be five numbers that indicate which pins are in your lock. This kit may or may not have the correctpins.I purchased this kit -the tools are invaluable- as well as assortment of additional pins, I combined everything and spent less than twenty dollars total. Re-keying instructions are located at the Schlage website.

Schlage button can be used to light up entire keypad at night. It's also used when programming for this lock. (On a keyless deadbolt lock it's used as a quick way to lock door with using key)Yes, this can be used outside. I have one on front door (under covered porch) a one on the shed entrance (exposed to a lot more sun, freezing temps, wind, rain and snow)

I keyed my new lock to my house keys by exchanging the complete tumbler. I used the tumbler from the lock I replaced with my new keypad lock. I'm sure a locksmith could exchange the pins in the tumbler to accomidate your house key as well. Schlage is a very high quality lock that is designed to be keyed to other similar locks.

No, they cannot be keyed with Schlage door hardware pins/keys. The cylinders in these padlocks take a smaller diameter pin used in many other padlock brands and also have a smaller diameter plug with a different keyway. These are not compatible with service kits/keys/cylinders from Schlage

It isn't a deadbolt lock. I do think they sale a deadbolt version but it is more expensive.

Honestly, any lock can be broken. I feel that different locks just have different levels of deterring thieves. I've had it for a month so far, it feels really sturdy and I feel safe using it but its something I have to lug around because the weight is very noticeable (around 9 pounds). If you don't think you will mind carrying that extra weight then by all means pick this one up

Yes, this uses traditional door handle/lock holes, and should be a drop-in replacement for most handles/locks currently in place. No, this unit is NOT a dead bolt, it is a traditional outside-entry door lock. Schlage makes a different (similar) unit that is a dead bolt only.

Yes, you are doing it the right way. You don't need the key to lock it. Just click it twice to be safe.
