Yes, but you can get the same ones at HD. Just go with Schlage, and stay
away from Kwikset (and no-name brands).

FWIW, the Schlage crap at Home Depot sucks too. Just try to have them
key a few locks the same and watch them cuss over the sloppy
manufacturing tolerances and ruin a few locksets before they manage to
get your locks keyed the same.

That's what they've been saying in alt.locksmithing lately.

Not defending Schlage quality, but for residential use in a
less-than-high-crime area, probably good enough. As to getting them keyed
alike, just buy knobs and deadbolt sets with the same keying number printed
on the box. If you can get there just after a shipment comes in, getting 2
or 3 sets with the same keying should not be a problem. That is what I did
when I moved into this place.

No, they ain't commercial-grade locks, but then again, I paid about 40 bucks
a door, not 200. I wouldn't put them on a door that had a key inserted 40
times a day, but for twice a day, I expect they will easily last a decade or
more.
