Schalge is a great brand. I have one of their older locks on my door... This looks awesome.
I exclusively used Schlage locksets for the properties that I owned and was responsible for years ago. Back 'in the day', their locksets were the best. Their 'F' series was solid, and worked flawlessly.
Today's Schlage locksets are rather cheesy, and like everything else, their quality isn't what it was.
I switched to Arrow locksets a few years ago. They are more 'commercial' in their construction, and are easy to install and solid. They can accept Best and Medico cores too, making them resistant to being 'bumped' in the case of the later cores.
There are many more outright dirt cheap junk locksets on the market, and some that are ill thought out and so easy to compromise to be just slightly better than not having a lockset at all.
It's a shame. Schlage was a good brand.
I have begun looking at the VingCard Elsafe line. I don't believe that they have a model that will work with the 6 or 6+, and they might be overkill for a small homeowner. They do offer keypad locks as well.
I did stay at a Disney property where they used these locksets, and was impressed with how easy and elegant the solution was.
