Em-D-Kay Padlocks 167BK Jimmy Proof Single Cylinder Deadbolt Black Finish

Em-D-Kay 167 Black Jimmy Proof Deadbolt

The Em-D-Kay 167 is a black-finish Jimmy Proof single cylinder deadbolt designed for residential entrance doors. Its die-cast housing provides a solid barrier against forced entry attempts. The lock suits homeowners who want a surface-mounted deadlock without mortising the door edge. It is not intended for doors that require a double-cylinder function or electronic access control.

Installation uses surface mounting

The lock body fastens to the interior face of the door while the strike plate attaches to the frame. Alignment is critical because the bolt engages the flat strike directly. Misaligned screw holes or a warped frame often cause binding. The single cylinder operates by key outside and thumb turn inside; no wiring or programming is involved.

Verify door thickness and handing before ordering

Confirm the door is thick enough for the mounting screws to bite securely into solid material. Check that the frame has a flat area where the supplied strike plate can sit flush. The lock is handed by the thumb-turn position, so note whether the door swings left or right when viewed from inside. Existing bore holes from a previous mortise lock will not align with this surface-mounted design.
