I need a good deadbolt that’ll be harder to pick and harder to kick in.   Resistant, not impossible.  

This is on an out building on the property, not living areas.  

I have Medeco locks elsewhere, and looking to less expensive here.   However, if you recommend I stay with Medeco, I will.  

I’ve done web searches and using AI fo recommendations.    Seems like I am getting more advertisements than solid recommendations.  

I am working on all aspects of physical security, working on the deadbolt in this phase.  

What yall recommend.   If possible in black with matching handle.

I put Medeco double keyed deadbolts on my house.  They're not the ultimate in no ability to pick, but imho they're enough to provide security.
eta  they have colors which are closer to black
America is at that awkward stage, it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards....Claire Wolfe

Reinforce the jam. That will fail before the dead bolt.

Yes.    

Strictly asking about the dead bolt though.

I have nothing to add, but I'd like to get some recommendations on this also.
