Replacing deadbolt

The deadbolt on my front door finally gave out and I locked my self inside. I had to remove the entire lock mechanism and replace it. I bought this deadbolt off amazon and replaced the cylinder with one I bought from Lowe’s. It fits perfect and I can lock my door no problem now!

Thank you for that tip..... with any luck, it WON’T come in handy! But if it does......

grateful to find this picture and model number! It is only a matter of time before we get locked in or out! we stopped using the deadbolt it was so dicey. it's gone up in price, but still available on amazon. It says compatible with all kwikset deadbolts, but has anyone had to adjust the size of the hole in the door? thanks!

My dead bolt started to get sloppy. Rather than wait, I ordered one of these up. Additionally, I found a used L-400 and, rather than wait, I ordered it up on the "not if,but when " principal.
Going to take the 400 apart and see if I can get the Bolt assy milled out of brass
