MERANTO TECHNOLOGY DG01-B SECURITY LATCH DOOR BRASS Review

MERANTO TECHNOLOGY DG01-B SECURITY LATCH DOOR BRASS
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
well designed product. this lock can only be locked from inside your home, and cannot be unlocked from outside. i have one on each exterior door (12 doors) so I do trust them to work. you are provided with 2 2" screws and a few smaller screws for installation. My sugesstion is to make sure you drive the screws into the stud adjacent to your door frame...the door frame alone will not be strong enough to stop a forced intrusion (i know this from experience). so if you need to purchase longer screws, I suggest you do so.
also, depending on how your door is set, you may be required to chisel some of the door casing (the door molding around your door) to properly install the door guardian. you want the rubber pad of the door guardian to have contact with the door when it is in the locked position. a few of my doors were recessed so there was about 4 to 5 cm of space between the rubber pad and the door. to alleviate this problem, I used chisels on the door casing to carve out enough space that would allow the door guardian to make full contact with the door (while in locked position). if you encounter this problem and require chisels, i highly recommend the following set for the cleanest installation:
Stanley 16-971 6-Piece FatMax Short Blade Chisel Set (can be purchased from amazon).
good luck keeping the bad guys out!

The Door Guardian Door Reinforecment Lock - Brass Review

The Door Guardian Door Reinforecment Lock - Brass
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product makes me feel very secure when home alone at night. It's design makes it very difficult to force open a door. It's also a HUGE help when my niece and nephew are here and like to wander outside while we visit. If you're looking for extra security to compliment your deadbolt, you can't go wrong with this. I have one in white to match my front door and it's barely noticeable. I loved it so much, I bought 3 more in the last year.

I have two doors on my garage and one of the original handles was broken. This handle looks and operates like the existing equipment. No complaints from me.

Wright Prod. VK1195 Patio Door Hardware Set With Key Locking Unit Review

Wright Prod. VK1195 Patio Door Hardware Set With Key Locking Unit

(More customer reviews)
For the second time in a row, Amazon has failed to help me. Both times I somehow ordered the same thing twice (I'm old). The first time, I was able to rectify it, but this time I ended up with two identical items and no response from customer service at Amazon at all. The two vendors refused to cancel the order and one of them offered to accept a return for about half of the cost so i opted to keep the item. No more Amazon.com for me.

Mace 80115 MACE Big Jammer Door Brace Review

Mace 80115 MACE Big Jammer Door Brace
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It arrived today and is going back to Amazon for a refund tomorrow. It looks secure when you put it in place, and feels secure when you test it by pulling inward on the door handle, but test it by going outside pushing on the door and you will be shocked at how easy it is to defeat. The rubber ears on the doorknob end are too flexible and bend out of the way (to the side and down) when you push on the door allowing the door to be very easily opened. The entire top rubber assembly also flexed slightly to the side on the metal pole as it was defeated. It's secured to the end of the metal pole about as well one of those rubber erasers that slip on to the end of your pencil. What's worse is that because the thickest parts of the pole, the top ears and the bottom foot, are made of soft rubber they were silent and made no racket as I pushed on the door. Furthermore since no metal parts hit the floor when it fell to the ground it landed very quietly. The rubber ears are what impacted the floor as it fell to the floor after being defeated, the rubber foot was already on the ground as it fell. I got in the door silently in less than 5 seconds. The tap from a lock bump would be the loudest thing you would hear. Get a puppy from the pound and a 12 gauge instead and sleep well, it's well worth the $400 total initial investment + dog food. I do weigh 240#, but I didn't have to push hard at all to get in. A false sense of security thinking that you would hear some serious racket as this thing got defeated is worse than not having it at all. What I was using before I tried this, and what I will go back to using, was a chair with the legs sitting inside some rubber soled tennis shoes to keep the chair legs from slipping on the floor. Yes I could break the chair with a lot more effort than it took to defeat the MACE Big Jammer, but at least it would make some serious racket as it splintered, and with the door/chair contact being hard material it would also make some noise as I moved the door back and forth trying to get in.

Prime Line Prod. GD 52119 Garage Door Lock Review

Prime Line Prod. GD 52119 Garage Door Lock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The lock was easy to install and included two pairs of screws of different lengths to fit the need--my door used the shorter ones and it fit perfectly. The lever can be set so that the lock stays spring-loaded or turned so that it stays open until you turn the lever back to release it.
Shame on me for not replacing that old lock sooner--I expected it to be more expensive, and more trouble than it was.

LockState LS-6600-L-S 200-Code Keyless Digital Door Lock, Left-Hand, Silver Review

LockState LS-6600-L-S 200-Code Keyless Digital Door Lock, Left-Hand, Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really disappointed by the LockState LS-6600 and will be returning it.
While the main portion of the lock seems well-built, the actual bolt into the door seems very second-rate and flimsy. Unfortunately, the stem that goes through the door and allows the handle to retract the bolt is larger than normal and won't fit the high-quality standard bolt that was already in the door.
I was also irritated by the lack of installation instructions. There *are* directions for programming the lock and even replacing the tumbler, but nothing on how to get the lock installed into the door. I was finally able to puzzle out how to separate the two halves of the lock so I could install it.
However, the lock is too tall! When installed, it WILL NOT FIT under the standard position for a deadbolt. It even intruded into the standard deadbolt hole, so, if you have a deadbolt installed, you can't even remove it and replace it with a cover.
The final irritant was the song. When you put in the access code, the lock plays a little tune that lasts about a second, maybe two. But the lock will not unlock until the song is over, so you have to wait on it. If there's a way to disable it, it must have been left out with the installation instructions.
