Jan 24th, 2016 11:06 pmI saw it in the Black Friday flyer. When I went to the store to buy it, I noticed it had a grade rating of 3, which is the least secure device and ended up not buying it.

'NSI Grade 1: Highest grade for commercial and residential locking mechanism, ANSI Grade 2: Highest grade for only residential lock systems, ANSI Grade 3: Lowest grade which indicates that a locking system meets just the minimum requirements.' Sure if you want to be brainwashed into thinking Grade 3 means is insecure.
Whenever there's a 'grading' system developed you might want to see who's to benefit and what the actual specs are for the grades. 1) The ANSI/BHMA Grading Standard is Voluntary 2) The MINIMUM requirements to be satisfy the 'Lowest grade' is as follows: ANSI/BHMA 1 requires deadbolts to test through the same number of cycles, but products tested to this standard must pass 17 security tests, one of which involves 1,350 pounds of force to be loaded against the deadbolt. This means the Lowest 'your Insecure' Grade still met the above tests. The higher grades just mean they are above/beyond this 'minimum' standard. It really depends HOW you WANT to interpret the grading system because it doesn't encompass ALL locks out there since certification is basically voluntary and depends if the manufacturer is confident enough that their products will pass certification to be willing to PAY to get it certified. Does that mean all lock that aren't certified are garbage and basically allow criminals to waltz into your house unabated? Without full knowledge of the scope/scale of the industry it would be foolish to assume otherwise.
For all we know Grades 1,2,3 combined could represent the top 20% of ALL locks out there, while 80% are all the other locks that aren't certified. Or it could be 50/50.

IF you REALLY need to know that your lock/door needs to be able to withstand X amount of force before you are at ease, then get whichever level suits you. But to say that just because its a grade 3 that means it's the least secure lock, is just ignorance. Jan 24th, 2016 8:31 pmHow hard are these to install?
Do I simply unscrew my old deadbolt and put this one in its place, or will I have to drill a bigger hole? How long do the batteries last?
Usually pretty easy, I have a different model (same brand) of lock, just took out the old deadbolt, but I had to make the hole a touch bigger. Just screw the new lock in, and it's good to go. Got it about a year and a half ago, changed the batteries once. (I think it's either 2 or 4 AA batteries, can't remember).

Most of the time, all that’s needed is a screwdriver. The battery compartment is typically contained within the inside cover of the lock, so you’ll need to remove this cover with the screwdriver.
Many locks utilize a 9 volt alkaline battery, but other locks such as the Trilogy PDL7100 use four C batteries instead.

Performing a Manual Key Override Another option you have at your disposal is the manual key override.

Batteries, when they are cold, do not give off the same amount of power. You can test this by putting them in a freezer for a few hours and then trying them in a battery operated device. They cold does not hurt them, and they will work fine once they warm up. Depending on how cold the batteries get for your deadbolt this could be the problem.
