What is the difference between a Schlage Secure Key deadbolt and a regular deadbolt?
A. Schlage residential locks are now available with two types of key cylinders. The traditional key cylinder generally uses a 5 pin Schlage C keyway and requires you to take it apart to re-key it. The new Secure Key key cylinder uses a blue reset key to re-key the lock. Only blue reset keys that are cut to your current key number will work with your key cylinder. Also the Secure Key Cylinders are anti-pick and anti-bump. The Secure Key cylinders also use the Schlage C keys, so they are also backward compatible too.
