Every expert we spoke to said stealth entry, like lock-picking and lock-bumping, is not a major concern for homeowners. Because the 980 uses what’s called a wafer tumbler, versus the Schlage’s pin tumbler, it’s inherently bump-proof and exceedingly pick-resistant. It’s Kwikset’s only Grade 1-rated deadbolt priced for residential use, and thus is the only direct competitor to the Schlage B60N. The Kwikset 980 was our primary measure of comparison for the Schlage locks.

If you’re looking for a guide to deadbolts that can be controlled via app or smart-home integration, read The Best Smart Lock. If the Battalion isn’t available, the Prime-Line U 9539, which we also looked at, is virtually identical. One complaint: The screws it comes with are just 2 inches long, when 3 inches or even 4 inches is much better-you may want to find longer screws for a stronger attachment to the doorframe. It also mounts to the doorframe with four screws many standard strike plates use only two. That’s because, like them, it features an integral metal-lined bolt-hole, which adds strength against kicking and other forms of forced entry. After considering about a dozen, we settled on the Battalion Strike Plate: It’s affordable, simple, tough, and very similar to the robust strikes many high-security deadbolts come with.
