Simple solution? Ask a good locksmith. They tend to sell th e better brands
and models that will last many years. The big box stores tend to sell the
low end that look pretty today but will tarnish tomorrow. Commercial grades
are best and are expensive but as you can see, may be cheaper in the long
run if they last.
