Good morning all, Long time lurker, first time poster with a question about a deadbolt. I'm closing on a house the end of next week and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the locks. Three exterior doors, one Schlage, one Defiant (home depot brand, apparently), and one with only a symbol that is an N with only the vertical strokes touching the box it was in at the bottom left and top right (sketch below). It is mounted on a mostly glass patio door with a kwikset knob. What brand is it? Quality?
As an additional question, I'd like to know your opinions on what would be a good lock set to replace them with? I've been here long enough to know to stay the heck away from kwikset, and Schlage is good. How about the defiant? The house is in a low-crime area, and I'm looking more for a value lock: not a very-high security polished brass lock, but also not a cheap piece of crap that will wear out in a relatively short time. This will also probably be a DIY replacement, tho I'd have them keyed the same, which I can't do.
Thanks for your help and expertise
