Grade 1 security rating makes this Schlage combo the strongest residential lockset you can install. The anti-pick/pry shield protects against crowbar attacks — not just marketing fluff, but actual steel reinforcement where thieves typically attack. Brass, wrought iron, and zinc construction throughout means this hardware won’t fail when you need it most.
The Accent lever’s elegant wave-like design proves you don’t have to choose between security and curb appeal. Satin nickel finish handles Montana’s temperature swings without showing wear. At 4.6+ average rating across 3,000+ reviews, contractors trust this lockset because it works.
Grade 1 Security Without the Commercial Look
ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification puts this residential lockset in the same security class as commercial hardware. Most residential locks settle for Grade 2 or 3. Not this one.
The deadbolt’s hardened steel core resists saw attacks that would cut through standard deadbolts. Single cylinder design keeps it simple — key outside, thumb turn inside. No battery failures or programming headaches.
| Security Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Security Grade | Grade 1 (ANSI/BHMA) |
| Deadbolt Type | Single Cylinder |
| Anti-Theft Protection | Anti-pick/pry shield |
| Core Material | Hardened steel deadbolt core |
Rural Montana properties sit 30+ minutes from law enforcement response. You need hardware that actually deters break-ins, not just looks secure. This combo delivers both.
Installation That Saves Labor Time
Snap and stay deadbolt design eliminates the fumbling that wastes time on installs. Parts click into place and stay there while you drive screws.
Universal/reversible handing means you can’t order the wrong hand. One SKU fits left or right swing doors. No more emergency runs because someone ordered left-hand when they needed right.
Adjustable backset fits both 2-3/8” and 2-3/4” door preps without modification. Fits 1-3/4 inch deadbolt preparations — standard residential door thickness.
The panic proof lever unlocks automatically when opened from inside. Kids can’t lock themselves out. Emergency exit stays simple even when people panic. Keyed entry function maintains full security from the exterior.
Built to Last in Real Conditions
Satin nickel finish resists fingerprints and corrosion. Skip the polished brass that shows every smudge. This finish looks clean even after years of daily use.
Brass, wrought iron, and zinc materials throughout the mechanism create durability where it counts. Not pot metal dressed up to look substantial — actual quality metals that handle Montana’s -20°F to 90°F temperature swings.

What’s Actually Included
The combo includes the Accent entry lever (keyed), single cylinder deadbolt, mounting hardware, and keys. Everything needed for a complete entry door installation arrives in one box.
This combo works on residential exterior doors, front entry doors, and any application needing keyed security. The Accent lever design coordinates with Camelot, Addison, Century, and Greenwich trim variations if you’re matching hardware throughout a home.
Who Should Buy This
Worth it for any exterior door where security matters. The Grade 1 rating alone justifies the upgrade from builder-grade hardware. Add the panic-proof exit function and installer-friendly features — this combo earns its keep.
Skip it if you’re flipping houses on minimum budget. Builder-grade Grade 3 locks cost half as much and look fine in listing photos. But for owner-occupied homes or quality rental properties, the security upgrade matters.
The wave design looks residential, not institutional. You get commercial-grade security without making your front door look like a bank vault. That balance between security and aesthetics drives those 4.6+ star ratings from over 3,000 reviews.
FAQ
What makes Grade 1 better than Grade 2 locks? Grade 1 locks meet ANSI/BHMA’s highest residential security standards, resisting forced entry attempts that would defeat lesser grades. The anti-pick/pry shield and hardened steel deadbolt core provide specific protection against common break-in methods. Most residential locks only achieve Grade 2 or 3 ratings.
Does the satin nickel finish hold up in cold weather? The satin nickel finish resists corrosion and handles temperature extremes better than polished finishes. With brass, wrought iron, and zinc construction, the internal mechanisms won’t seize up in Montana winters. The finish also hides fingerprints better than chrome or polished brass.
Can this lock be rekeyed to match existing keys? Schlage locks can be rekeyed by any locksmith. The single cylinder deadbolt design uses standard Schlage keyways, making rekeying straightforward. Many contractors rekey all locks during new construction to provide one key for the homeowner.
What’s the actual door thickness range? This combo fits doors with 1-3/4 inch deadbolt preparations, which covers standard residential doors. The adjustable backset handles both 2-3/8” and 2-3/4” door preparations without requiring different parts. Most residential doors fall within these standard measurements.
