I've been poking around Amazon and came across this
http://www.amazon.com/All-Weather-Mechanical-Keyless-Deadbolt-Door/dp/B005KG6A0I/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt
Right now I have a Schlage deadbolt.
I'm not overly concerned about a professional breaking in. I also have a picture window next to the front door, which would be a pretty convenient entry point, anyway.
What do you think?

I've considered this as a thread title, but I figured the word "lock" would get him out just the same.

Yeah, but this is a mechanical lock. :P

Looks like a generic, or possibly subcontracted Best BE2 lock cylinder and key pattern. Pattern might be Keyway A. Don't know for definite, but I've never heard of Anaconda or Lockey making their own pattern keys. Try a BE2 to see if it works.

The normal looking model is a Lockey 2200 (Key Override) model.

As you can note, there are differences. "DIGITAL" is not present on the Anaconda model. The shoulders on the mechanical subsection are beveled on the Lockey model. The handle containing the cylinder is entirely different. The picture in the Amazon model, the handle is one unit. Notice the seem on the one on the Lockey web site.
Either the picture is wrong, it's an obsolete model (unlisted on their web sites) or it's a generic rip off of a Lockey. My bet is the second or third option.

It does look like a Lockey knockoff.
How do you think this compares to a Schlage deadbolt?
I don't have any particular illusions to this standing up to any sort of serious force. It's a standard insulated door, the area where the lock is mounted is probably the weak point. Plus, there is that window next to it. I do like that it's battery-free.

No idea. It's essentially a no name generic.
Brinks, from Walmart, is surprisingly decent. About equal to Schlage. I'm generally not impressed with electronic or mechanical key code locks. Try to avoid Simplex locks. On the plus side, I opened a small pistol vault by manually brute forcing the combo.

Simplex? Are those the ones with 5 buttons that office buildings seem to like?
