Locks
So we bought a new back door and I am putting a Lockwood 005 on it. I like this lock because you can lock it but still be openable from the inside, or you can deadlock it with the key.
Fortunately for me, I did a test install on a piece of scrap wood, because I totally messed it up the first time (holes not in straight).
Anyway, I'm a bit perturbed at how easy it is to disassemble the lock. Even if it's deadlocked, all someone has to do is pull off a cover and undo two screws. The barrel slides out and then it's easy to draw back the bolt.
what's the point of having a deadlock if you can take it off so easily ? ? ?
I had assumed a lock at this price ($90) would be designed so that you can only dissassemble it once the door is open.
What am I missing

Makes you wonder ?
We have the older door lock & ands . The outside hand has the screws showing ,so I thought all you had to do was unscrew the external hand pull the square pin out . Then your in .
When we had the locks keyed the same I asked the locksmith about it . He said the old type locks we have have pins that drop down in the mech once the external handles are removed and lock the door.
Maybe you can still get this type lock & mortise ?
