Best Access Systems is a company that manufactures Best mechanical access components such as door latches, doorknobs and deadbolts. The Best tubular deadbolt has a 1-inch-thick stainless-steel deadbolt for added security and corrosion resistance. Best deadbolt locks are available in several different finishes, such as bright chrome, satin chrome, satin bronze, bright bronze and oxidized. Installation is self-aligning and is reversible for use on either side of a door, so removal is just as simple.
Step 1
Open the door where the Best deadbolt is installed so both sides of the lock will be easily accessible.
