No, the Abloy Protec2 described is 'just' $280.
Whether this is outrageous compared to a $28 'builder-grade' deadbolt at a box store depends on the value of the things inside and the probability of an attempt at a theft.
- giantg2 5y agoAgree. I wanted to get something better, just because why not? I ended up just going with some commercial schalge that's just slightly more durable than the standard ones, came with reinforced strike plates, etc. There's not a lot of crime in my area and there's not much that someone would want to steal. One thing to consider if sticking with "normal" locks is that you can still get the reinforced strike plates, pick a key design that makes bump keys or raking less effective (supposedly), not hiding a key, etc. Nothing is perfect. You can have the best doors and windows and someone can still knock a hole in your wall if they really want to.
