I used to have an old Wieser that had a single cylinder deadbolt and knob all in one unit.
Anybody seen something like this these days?
TIA

Weiser used to make what they called the "Weiserbolt".
With a twist of the thumbpiece on the inside knob it would extend the latch another inch or so into the frame to more securly lock a door.
This knobset was ordered for the specific handing of a door.
Though the handing "could" be changed, it was a major exercise in frustration for the Locksmith to do so. Rekeying could also become a nightmare if there was any wear in the knobs internal mechanisim.
Thankfully Weiser finally discontinued it about 10 years ago (in Canada anyway).
If any still exist today, it's very old stock.
Was that what you were referring to?
