Frequently Asked Questions
What deadbolt products does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts from Weiser, Taymor, and Nottingham, along with electronic motorized deadbolts from Weiser (SmartCode and Powerbolt2) that combine keypad code entry with mechanical keyed backup. Finishes include satin nickel, matte black, antique brass, and oil-rubbed bronze.
What is the difference between a single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolt?
A single-cylinder deadbolt is keyed on the exterior and has a thumb turn on the interior — the standard residential deadbolt configuration. A double-cylinder deadbolt is keyed on both sides and requires a key to open from either side. Double-cylinder deadbolts are used on doors with glass panels near the lock where a single-cylinder thumb turn could be reached through the glass. They create a fire safety concern, as occupants cannot exit quickly without a key during an emergency.
What ANSI grade should a residential deadbolt be?
ANSI Grade 2 is the minimum recommended standard for residential security applications, tested to 250,000 cycles and withstanding a 75-pound force on the bolt. Grade 1 provides the highest performance tested to 800,000 cycles and 150 pounds of bolt force. For exterior entry doors, ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts paired with a Grade 1 door latch provide the best residential security. Windsor Plywood staff can identify the specific ANSI grade of each deadbolt in stock.
What is Weiser SmartKey re-keying and how does it work?
Weiser SmartKey is a patented re-keying system that allows the lock to be re-keyed without removing it from the door. Using the SmartKey tool, insert the current working key, use the tool to engage the re-keying mechanism, remove the current key, insert the new key, and complete the cycle. The lock is now re-keyed to the new key. This can be done in seconds without a locksmith.
How do I reinforce a deadbolt installation for better security?
The weakest point of most residential deadbolt installations is the door frame strike plate. A standard strike plate with short screws can be kicked in with minimal force. Replace the factory strike plate with a heavy-gauge security strike plate with 3-inch screws that penetrate through the door trim into the structural framing. This single upgrade significantly improves kick-in resistance with no change to the lock itself.
