Looking for recs on fully mechanical keyed doorknobs [View all]

So, I'm on my 4th Schlage one.

I always buy the type with the little button to turn so that you don't lock yourself out & am dilugent in using this mechanism.

I'm not finding locksmith supply-type stores in my area to source an entry doorknob not made of pigmetal with inferior quality components.

And I'm buying higher end units, from what little choices are available in Lowe's & Home Depot (I avoid the latter like the plague that it is).

I do not want en electronic "Hey Google, open my door" type lock.

So these Schlage's keep locking me out of my house! The only other options are much lower priced pigmetal junk, Kwik Set, etc.

Anyone know of something maybe available from Amazon?

Tyia!
