We have plenty of variation of stealth deadbolt in our store. Yet this is the finest type. And hard to find one in Malaysia.
98% of half deadbolt is using some plastic stuff inside (shown here the plate in the centre). You try to name it, Yale, Posse, St Guchi, Milano, etc, all is plastic parts inside.
Only this specific model is strong metal part inside.
Good stuff. Recommended.
Locked out (actually locked-in, or trapped) in the toilet. For 2 hours. Then someone pass through the window, she manage to get the passerby attention to give us a call.
Need unlock the front door all the way into the toilet (but not much, only 2 deadbolt in the way, and finally the toilet lock rust till the latch stuck/jam. Need to totally destruct it.
Think twice before buying cheap lock. Not only lock you out, but lock you in too.
Roller Shutter locks are commonly used. But might be tricky to find one replacement.
Majority are not build to last forever. They are quite cheap, cost below RM20. There are good one also, cost more, can be master keyed.
Like this we replaced in Kuching Satok area are common one. The previous lock worn out.
This lock is not a high security lock, due to the exposed rebating. So if you are storing something expansive, you will need more than this lock.
Perhaps padlock, or added layer of entrance door.

This client self destruct his lock in attempt to unlock. His problem is rather complicated, which is latch jam (happens to many cheap china knob).
Symptom of latch jam:
Latch jam is a very complicated matter. Even for us well trained locksmith, we need one to two hour. We need to total disassemble the knob to its smallest component. It is very labour intensive.
If you just lost the key and don’t want to pay for locksmith key, there is still possibility that you can knock the lock and unlock. But if latch jam, don’t even think about it.
Leave it to us.
Estremo Lever Handle on Plate
This door lock is broken. Succumbed to repeated pulling. But by right, door lock should be able to withstand vigorous pull and push and even twist.
Why this door lock failed?
The failure is caused by its material. It is made of Zinc Diecast. Which is a bad choice for door lock. Zinc is a not-so-strong material. Die casted (and mixed with some other cheaper material) makes it even weaker. Just take any Zinc Diecast. Bend it, and bend it back to original (just once), it will break.
What is the minimum material you should go for a lock? Zinc Alloy. Not really strong, but so much better than diecasted. But remember, it is a minimum. Go for a better one if you can afford. Not to show off, not to luxury, but for your family’s safety, and for saving yourself some trouble.
