Default Security Two Point door Lock system for Front Door

well folks there have been alot of talk about security against break-in's in the villages as we are preparing for the snow bird season.
The criminals know they are coming and they are preparing there crews to hit the village resident's as Sumter county police have warned us to keep an eye out.
I for one have increased my security to the front door with a TWO POINT DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM to the front door to increase security.
Most of the homes have Belleview kwikset single point (dead Bolt only) locking systems.
I choose to replace mine with a TWO POINT Kwikset Montara that has locking dead bolt and locking handset.
It covers the old Belleview lockset perfectly and i left the existing deadbolt in place and re-keyed the handset to my key type.
It was worth the 120.00 and for a additional 60 dollars i got the lever system 978.
here are the part numbers if anyone is interested.
These are for satin nickel;
