When considering double-cylinder deadbolts (which require a key to
operate from either side) for more safety in your home, keep in mind
that the bolt (the part that extends from the door) should be at least
one inch long, and should be hardened steel. The strike (the plate that
the bolt sticks into) should be installed with screws long enough to
engage the structural stud behind the doorframe (and not just the door
frame or trim like many are currently installed).
To add security, doors in homes should swing in to prevent any attack
on the hinges. If your door swing outward, it should be installed on
non-removable pin hinges or the hinges should be "pinned" (remove the
screw from opposing positions on both top and bottom hinges, and drive
a pin or nail into one of the holes. When the door is closed, this pin
engages the matching hole and holds the door in place even if the hinge
pin is removed).

Please change this paragraph:
Schlage is the leader in security devices, trusted for more than 85
years.
When you install SchlageŽ products, you know your home is secure. When
you safeguard your home, family and business with SchlageŽ, you ensure
your security as well as your peace of mind.
SchlageŽ, is committed to creating safe and secure environments.
SchlageŽ products span both the commercial and residential markets.
Commercial grade quality is built into every SchlageŽ product.
Make it read:
Schlage recently suffered some terrible redesigns. They now have a
deadbolt which might be dead, but the bolts aren't very secure. The
old B-160 were really great. But the new ones (360??) have a bolt that
has nothing there. Their keyed entry knobs, they went from rather good
design with two piece outer knob to a one piece thing. The new
cylinders are totally inadequate, and a really poor design which is
almost impossible to service. We no longer reccomend residential
Schlage to anyone.

better off with a LONG cyclinder deadbot. thjat goes thru not only the
striker plate but the 2by4 wall too.
You know fussing about a better door lock is a loser, crooks go the
easiest path probably thru a nice glass window.
They dontr want to work hard:(

Would that be Viagra for deadbolts? Rock hard, and three inches
longer?
