Does Flip Guard work with Ultimate Lock?

Ultimate Lock actually has a lock-out feature built into the lock that has the exact same functionality as Flip Guard. In other words, Ultimate Lock has a Flip Guard built into the lock so there is no need to combo the two products together.

How many keys come with the lock?

Ultimate Lock comes with 2 keys per lock. However, we do have the ability to add more keys or even have multiple locks all keyed to the same key

Can Ultimate Lock be installed on double doors and French doors?

Ultimate Lock Residential series can be installed on double doors and french doors however, they do require more than a lock in center of the door. Because of the nature of french doors/ double doors, they are very flimsy. The reason for this is due largely because the stationary door only has a pin at the top and a pin at the bottom. So in a sense, the stationary door acts like a wall for the movable door to lock into. The problem is that the pins do not take much to break through and as a result the center lock will not do much on its own.

We however, have fixed this problem by designing our Ultimate Lock to work with and without a deadbolt lock. Meaning that the lock can be installed on the top and or bottom of the stationary door to work in place of the flimsy pin systems. I have attached photos below as well as install videos calling out how to do this. My personal recommendation is to get to locks per set of double doors. One lock in the center, while the other is at the top of the stationary door. The video I have placed below shows how to install the lock as a surface mount horizontally, however, for your application it will have to be vertical. The install is the same minus the lock having a different orientation. This install will secure the stationary door, allowing for it to stay in place due to the lock being secured to the top header of the door and the movable door having something solid to latch into.

(NOTE: When installing the lock on center of the door, the strike plate screws will have to be installed at a 90 degree angel as opposed to a 30 degree angle. This is done to prevent the screws from extruding through the other side of the door.)

Do these locks need to be combined with easy armor door jamb armor?

No, we actually do not recommend using both products. Our locks have been rated to withstand up to 4000 pounds on a wooden door/frame. Easy armor is great for converting your wooden frame to steel, but only makes the install process of the lock that much harder for very little in return. You are secure with your current door given you do not have pre-existing door damage. This is why we do not recommend using door jamb armor with the Ultimate Lock

Can you just break the glass and open the lock?

Yes, you can. The Ultimate Lock was built as a tool to protect you and your family; and give you the time needed to get to a safe room and contact authorities to help you. However, the sound of the breaking glass is very loud and distinct. Upon hearing the sound of breaking glass, and seeing the intruder trying to open the lock, this shortens his chance of survival, and therefore giving you ample time to call the authorities.

Can the Ultimate lock be opened with a crow bar?

The Ultimate Lock Residential series has an inch and a half main deadbolt, making it harder to pry open a door. The Ultimate Lock also has a secondary hardened security bar on the inside of the door making it even more difficult to pry open the door because they have to move two deadbolts. In addition to having an extra hardened cast iron deadbolt, the Ultimate Lock also comes with a specially engineered striker plate which is larger and heavier which makes it even harder to open the door. In addition the striker plate, the Ultimate lock is also armed with 2 three in a half inch screws which go into the door frame.

Absolutely, better kick-in protection than a standard deadbolt, ability to render the key useless when inside the apartment when the integrated safety lock is engaged on the deadbolt.
