I have mentioned the general decrease in quality in the original blog and on the website about the way quality has fallen off a cliff. Lest you think I’m some kind of Negative Nancy, I also mention the (rare) quality improvements whenever they occur as with the Schlage B500 deadbolts. Emtek is a brand of decorator hardware I have not been fond of. Recently, they improved their bolt assembly and that makes it a good lock in it’s price range. The new bolt is nearly identical to that of MEDECO and that would make sense since both companies are under the same parent corporation, Assa-Abloy. Hopefully, they will improve the cylinder too.
