Deadbolt and locks
I bought a Defiant brand 5 pin deadbolt (keyed on one side) at HD for $10, but I was just researching online and it was recommended only to use 6 or 7 pin locks because 5 pins can be picked, so I'll probably be returning it.
I've looked at the Landlord locks website. That looks interesting, but I prefer to buy something where I can actually go to the physical store and look at things myself. Any recommendations on brands or types of deadbolts and locks I could buy at Lowe's or HD that are reliable and secure? I don't really want to pay a locksmith since there are three doors that this needs to be done to. Thanks.
