Great locksetAugust 23, 2010 D. Ramirez(Salt Lake City, Utah) This is a pretty good buy. The looks are spot on. This is my second one. I have had the exact same model on another exterior door in my house for over a year now and it has had no problems. The finish looks as good as the day I installed it. My only complaint about this is that the interior knob for the deadbolt has a sloppy feel to it. I guess this common among Kwikset though.
I would recommend this if you can find a good price on it.
Kwikset lock setJuly 7, 2010 Jo 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was extremely pleased with the quality and heftiness of the set. It is very attractive and was easy to install. I highly recommend this product. And the price was better than anywhere else I looked.
Avoid buying Kwikset SmartKey products or you will be locked of your own house.June 27, 2010 Travis Bird I have experienced TWO failures with these locks. The first was within 2 days of installation into a side garage that I had no other entry into (had not yet programmed the garage door opener) and had to kick in the door which caused damage to the frame of my door.
Then several months later, my front door lock fails, the key will not open the dead bolt. We might have used a key to enter this door maybe 15 times before failure.
If you search you will find several people having the same issue. If the tumbler locks you out you then have to find an alternate entry into your house which may require a break in or call a locksmith and pay them $200 bucks to DRILL your lock.
Check out other unhappy customers that have been locked out of their house using the "SmartKey" locks.
[...] . Scroll down and you'll see a constant stream of lock tumbler failures. You'll also see that the replacement tumbler also suffers the same issue.
This is a frequent failure, I'm out over $300 bucks to replace all of the locks with ones that hopefully will not fail.
nice, but trickyMay 18, 2010 Peter Bonenberger The Handleset looks great, works fine now... But the information how to put it into the door misses a lot of details. I thought I am a good craftsman, but I was close to give up. After attaching, detaching, attaching a few times it finally worked, now it looks great and works well
Good lookingMay 17, 2010 B. Breckenfeld(Carrollton, TX) A very good looking finish on this handleset and the parts are heavy and the mechanics work smoothly.
