So what do you guys think is the best deadbolt lock for the average person? Medeco? From the article I don't remember them saying it could be bumped as easily (if at all) as your average lock from home depot. I understand security is an all inclusive package but a new doorlock wouldn't hurt.
Best thing to do would be to talk to a local reputable locksmith and see what they recommend and stock. You wouldn't want to buy a lock that can't be fixed or re-keyed locally, if the need ever arises. I would hesitate to recommend a specific lock for that reason.
Talking to a local locksmith has the added benefit of them possibly being able to offer security advice in other areas, as well as helping tailor specific products to your needs.
With that said, I can add a bit of simplified knowledge that may help you in your decision:
There are a few different standards that locks are tested to.
First, there is the ANSI 156.5 scale. This scale goes 1-3 with 1 being the highest. Presently, the best stuff you'll find in a typical house is Grade 2. Grade 1 is for commercial applications (i.e. Similar to a Grade 2 lock, but made to be stronger, last longer, and more resistant to brute force attacks.)
Next, there is ANSI 156.30. This is a bit stricter standard, where the focus becomes less on how well the lock is made and more on how actually secure the lock design is. This also has three grades C-A. Grade C adds basic pick resistance and harder than average to find key blanks. Grade B and the separate UL-437 standard go hand in hand, as they both require the same amount of picking resistance (at least 10 minutes under testing) and use blanks that are protected by law. Finally, grade A is the top. This requires picking resistance for at least 15 minutes and has heavily restricted keys/keyways.
For retrofitting a home, what you'll typically use as high end security is Grade 1 hardware with a Grade B/UL-437 cylinder (unless you have a door that can accept higher grade mortise locks). While this isn't the best, it's still head over heals better than what most people have and will stop or slow down thieves used to defeating common door locks.
On a side note, neither standard currently requires any resistance against bumping, however an ANSI 156.30 lock does have some inherent resistance to this method, as bump keys are typically harder to procure. So again, a cylinder that meets at least grade B/UL-437 is still going to be reasonably secure.Now, just as an example, the following manufacturers are common in the U.S. and offer a wide variety of locks that can meet these standards:
Medeco
Assa
Mul-T-Lock

With that said, it's still best to talk to a good locksmith. If your door or door frame is weak or installed incorrectly than you may not even truly get any benefit of upgraded lock hardware.
