> 3 dayGreat lock system. My husband and I are remodeling our home and the search for locking systems seemed endless - who knew it would be some difficult to agree on a lock!?!? Any way....we went back and forth between several different brands (Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Brinks, etc...) and ultimately decided on the Kwikset. Our decision was based on the style, durability (we really put these things to the test at the store), ease of use (was the handle comfortable, did the keys work easily, did duplicates work easily, etc), availability (at stores/online and the parts for changing over interior and exterior doors), and finish type. There are a lot of comparable lock sets out there, but this felt and acted much more heavy duty than the others we liked in this style. It was between this set and a similar Schlage set. This set won for 2 reasons - (1) we liked the handles better, on the doors and the front door set and (2) the SmartKey system. We have 4 exterior doors to our home, so we thought the SmartKey would be ideal. System works great, easy to use handle, and the door closes snug every time. Tips about this set - our first install was on a basement door. We replaced an original wooden door with a new fiberglass door. Love the entire set up and the new lock set looked great, but the handle was absolutely freezing to the touch. We ended up taking the lock set off and cutting a piece of foam insulation to fit behind. Problem solved! It didnt impact the usage of the lock or handle and cut down on the cold handle/cold air leaking through.

> 3 dayThe Smart Key is great, I can still use my 8 year old key, but the instructions on how to use the tool are a little vague. There is an easier to understand video on the internet, but, overall, the door locking handle is very nice.

Greater than one weekKnocked it a star. While it is a nice looking set, was easy to install, and functions well, kwikset still has some work to do with the smart key feature. This is not limited to just this set, but across the board. All keys are cut just a tad different every time, and these locks generally work the best with the original key used to set the lock. Therefore, any copy of the key will be somewhat difficult to operate the lock with

20-11-2024Looks great and very simple to install. The directions are clear and concise. The SmartKey function is wonderful, it allows you to re-key the locks with an existing key, which is great if you want to keep your old key or you want it to match other locks in your house. I will say the deadbolt was very tricky to get right with the SmartKey. I happen to have a reset tool for Smartkey locks so I was able to fix it when it didnt program right, but if you dont have one of those or dont want to buy one, be very very careful with the deadbolt when you use the SmartKey function. I love the look of these, the Satin Nickel finish is much classier looking than the standard silver knob the came with my house. To get it facing the right way, the handle at to be flipped, which means the lock is upside down. Not a major issue, but keep that in mind if that aesthetically will bother you. They have a great heft to them. All in all, Im a big fan, but again be careful using the SmarKey function on the deadbolt and make sure you get it right!

> 3 dayI replaced ALL my exterior door fixtures. The original ones were just to old. Kwikset has the SmartKey process which allows me to keep my original keys, and just change these locks. It was a breeze, except for one of the three deadbolts. I thought I had done something wrong, but finally decided one female side of the deadbolt was threaded incorrectly. I called the 800 number, talked to a nice young gentleman, read him the product info he requested, and the NEXT day a FedEx package arrived with the tumbler unit to replace my defective unit. Cost me NOTHING except the phone call. Installed the new tumbler unit AND rekeyed it in LESS than five minutes. So, the product is great, not expensive. You can rekey everything yourself......saves more money. Finally, the tech support is top notch. If you dont buy these you are just plain silly.
