Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you want to lock yourself out of your house, this is the lock for you. When I pulled the unit out of the package I was initially impressed by the sheer weight of the thing - I mean if you put it in a sock and swung it around melee style you could really do some damage. And If I had the CEO of the company in the room with me right now that's just what I'd do. The problem is the deadbolt cylinder assembly itself. after blowing a whole afternoon breaking in to the room without while trying not to do much damage to the door or walls, I took the screws out from the inside, took both of the lock's face places off, and realized the bolt would not retract into its cylinder because the cylinder had come apart at the tail end. The way the assembly failed, the bolt would never come unlocked. I actually did *a little* damage to my door just getting this piece of crap extracted from my door. I don't write reviews but with my entire afternoon gone, what's a few more minutes of spreading the word about this *horrible mistake of a product.* Look folks, locks have to work as intended. When they dont YOU GET LOCKED OUT OF YOUR ever lovin HOUSE. In my case, it was installed on a small utility room where I store power tools and other important man crap. Which is the crown jewel of a man's existence. When I examined why the tail of the cylinder came apart it appeared to be held together with a hammered in pin. But the pin was not staked or made secure in any way, and was just loose and wiggling around in there. It was a failure waiting to happen. So when I examined the part of the product you won't see in side the door, I saw the whole bolt cylinder looked like one of those cheap die-cast toy cars from china. Now the rest of the visible lock looked REALLY nice an like I said, was heavy and had a very nice fit and assembly. Make it look nice on the outside for the suckers. Cheap out on the internals so the boss can get the new Porsche. If I had the engineer and production manager and accountant for this product in the same room, I'd bang their heads together like the three stooges that they are. Why cheap out on the MOST IMPORTANT PART? So now I am hoping Amazon will make it right. The thing was roughly 50 bucks and change, and I could have gotten any number of brand name locks that work without fail. ( I won't mention name brands cause I'm not here schilling for them, just warning YOU about a piece of crap.) I so hope I can figure the "add photo" out so I can show you guys what cheap die cast pot metal painted a shiny chrome looks like when it fails.
