Quick Answer
For most homes, the 85 Select Deadbolt offers the best balance of price and commercial-grade durability, but the 82 Select and 82 Premier are worth considering if you prefer a different finish or want to save a few dollars.
Price vs. Performance
All three deadbolts share the same ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 commercial quality, so you're getting the same core security and durability. The main differences come down to price and finish options.
The 85 Select is priced at $37.39, while the 82 Select and 82 Premier are $39.60 and $37.80 respectively. The 82 Select is the most expensive, but it may offer finishes that the 85 Select doesn't, depending on your door's style.
Finish and Function Options
Each deadbolt is available in multiple functions, technologies, and finishes. If you need a specific finish to match your existing hardware, check which models offer that finish. The 82 Premier might be the only one with a particular premium finish, while the 82 Select could have more function options.
Trade-Offs to Consider
- Price vs. Finish Selection: The 85 Select is the most affordable, but if you need a specific finish that's only available on the 82 Select or 82 Premier, the extra cost may be justified. Check finish availability before deciding.
- Function vs. Technology Options: The 82 Select and 82 Premier offer different function and technology options. If you need a particular function like a single cylinder or smart key, verify which model supports it. List the functions you need and compare availability.
- Commercial Quality vs. Residential Use: All three are Grade 2, which is overkill for most homes but great for high-traffic entries. If you're on a tight budget, the 85 Select gives you the same quality at a lower price. Don't pay extra for features you won't use.
