I don't; but I will say that those crappy locks from Home Depot have been
holding up well for me.  I replaced the one on my main back door (which
probably gets locked/unlocked an average of 4 times/day) back around 1990
and it's still working fine.  By the time it wears out, I expect to want to
replace the entire door.

They've held up much better than the cheap Quik-Set knob locks I put on
other busy doors (all of which have been replaced at least once, mostly with
'commercial' grade knobs).
