![]() Vincent Divittorio of DV Locksmith & Hardware, in Astoria, Queens.Gerard Corsini, owner of Joseph Lock and Alarm in Jackson Heights, Queens (New York).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. The better kind is known as a reinforced strike, and installing one is a cost-effective security upgrade that experts consider nearly as important as the deadbolt lock itself. August locks fit perfectly over most single cylinder deadbolts and aren’t much bigger than your original thumbturn.The strike plate is the metal opening where the deadbolt engages with the doorframe-and strikes are not all the same. Even if you’re not so handy, installation only takes about 10 minutes. Quickly and easily share permanent, scheduled or temporary access to your home with friends, family and other people you trust, and never put a key under the doormat again. Keep your keys just in case (but you won’t need them).
