Schlage is the most-installed residential lock brand on the Treasure Coast for good reason. The B-series Grade 1 deadbolts combine proven mechanical reliability, wide finish availability, strong coastal options (PVD Life Satin Brass), and HOA approval across most Treasure Coast golf and gated communities.
Treasure Coast Locksmith is an authorized Schlage dealer, meaning we get factory pricing, current stock on new releases, and access to the full product catalog including restricted-access items like Primus cylinders. We install the entire residential Schlage line: B-series deadbolts, F-series levers and knobs, Encode smart locks, Connect smart locks, and Primus high-security.
For coastal homes we default to PVD finishes. For HOA-restricted communities we verify approved finishes before dispatch. For homeowners wanting smart features, we walk through the Encode vs Connect vs Sense decision.

Schlage B-series, Encode, Primus explained
Schlage residential hardware splits into three main product lines.
B-series Grade 1 deadbolts are the workhorse of the residential market. B60N is the standard entry-level Grade 1 at $85-$125. B660P adds a slightly stronger cylinder with bump resistance for $105-$165.
B6600 is the premium entry with the best finish options for $135-$195. All three use the standard Schlage C keyway and accept Primus restricted-keyway cylinder upgrades.
Encode, Connect, and Sense smart locks are Schlage's residential smart lock lineup. Encode has built-in Wi-Fi with no hub required ($270-$320 installed) - the simplest option for most homes. Connect uses Z-Wave or Zigbee and requires a hub, making it ideal for homes with SmartThings or Home Assistant ($245-$295).
Sense is a Bluetooth-only model designed for Apple HomeKit ($225-$275). All three include a standard mechanical backup cylinder that's rekeyable.
Primus high-security cylinders retrofit into existing Schlage B-series deadbolts ($185-$265 installed). Primus adds a patented side-bar mechanism that defeats picking, plus a restricted keyway that requires dealer authorization for key duplication. It's the easiest path to high-security for homes already running Schlage hardware.

Schlage ownership tips
- For HOA-restricted communities, specify the exact finish. Schlage PVD finishes are most HOA-compliant.
- Schlage B660P is the best value deadbolt on the Treasure Coast - Grade 1 with bump resistance at a reasonable price.
- Schlage Encode is the simplest smart lock - no hub, built-in Wi-Fi, standard mechanical backup.
- Primus retrofits are the fastest high-security upgrade. Just the cylinder, not the whole deadbolt.
- Keep Schlage keys on a separate ring from Kwikset. The keyways look similar but are different profiles.
- For coastal homes, always spec PVD Life Satin Brass. Zinc finishes fail in 18 months on the beach.

Schlage installation FAQs
Common questions about Schlage residential lock installation on the Treasure Coast.
How much does Schlage lock installation cost?
A single B60N Grade 1 deadbolt installed runs $145 to $225. B660P runs $165 to $265. B6600 runs $185 to $295.
Schlage Encode smart lock with Wi-Fi setup runs $295 to $395. Primus cylinder retrofit into existing Schlage runs $185 to $265. Full-house Schlage upgrades typically run $650 to $1,650.
Is Schlage better than Kwikset?
For most Treasure Coast residential use, yes. Schlage B-series Grade 1 is mechanically stronger than Kwikset SmartKey, and Schlage C keyway is more pick-resistant than SmartKey. Kwikset SmartKey has the homeowner-rekey convenience advantage.
For security, Schlage wins. For convenience, SmartKey wins.
Are you an authorized Schlage dealer?
Yes. We are a Schlage authorized dealer with access to the full residential and commercial product catalog, including restricted-access items like Primus cylinders. Factory trade pricing means our installed cost is often equal to or less than big-box retail.
Can you rekey Schlage to match my other locks?
Yes. Schlage uses the standard Schlage C keyway across the residential B-series. We rekey new Schlage cylinders to match your existing Schlage keys (or rekey existing Schlages to match new), at the standard $25 per cylinder.
Matched keying is included at no extra charge on new installs.
Do you install Schlage Encode?
Yes. Schlage Encode is our most-installed smart lock. Installation includes the deadbolt swap, Wi-Fi pairing with your home router, app account setup, user code provisioning for the household, mechanical backup cylinder test, and homeowner training.
Typical install is 45 to 75 minutes.
What finishes does Schlage come in?
Bright Brass, Satin Chrome, Satin Nickel, Aged Bronze, Matte Black, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, PVD Life Satin Brass (coastal), Polished Brass, Antique Brass, and Vintage Brass. We stock the most common Treasure Coast finishes and can order unusual ones within 2-5 business days.
Is Schlage B660P worth the upgrade over B60N?
For most homes, yes. B660P adds bump resistance and a slightly stronger cylinder for about $30 more. It's the best value in the Schlage residential lineup.
For oceanfront homes we often recommend B660P specifically because it's also available in PVD Life Satin Brass.
Can Primus be added to existing Schlage deadbolts?
Yes. Primus cylinders are designed to retrofit into existing Schlage B-series deadbolt bodies. You keep your existing deadbolt, thumb-turn, and strike - we just swap the cylinder for a Primus version.
This is the fastest high-security upgrade path for Schlage owners.
Does Schlage Encode work with my Wi-Fi?
Schlage Encode works with any standard 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi network. It does not require 5 GHz. During installation we verify signal strength at the door and recommend a Wi-Fi extender if the signal is weak.
Encode does not need a hub or smart home platform.
Is Schlage HOA-approved in Harbour Ridge?
Yes. Harbour Ridge accepts Schlage B-series in PVD Life Satin Brass as the standard approved hardware for exterior residential doors. Other approved finishes vary by the specific sub-community within Harbour Ridge.
We verify the current list before any installation.
Can you install Schlage on impact-rated doors?
Yes. Schlage B660P is NOA-approved on most Treasure Coast impact-rated front doors (PGT, CGI, WinDoor, ESW). It combines Grade 1 security with hurricane code compliance.
We verify the specific NOA match before installation.
How long will a Schlage lock last?
Schlage Grade 1 B-series is rated for 1 million operational cycles and has a 25+ year lifecycle under normal residential use. Coastal exposure cuts this to 10-15 years. Proper lubrication extends service life significantly.
B660P in PVD Life Satin Brass is the longest-lasting coastal option we install.
