> 3 dayThese are exactly as advertised. They are cheaper on amazon than the big box home improvement stores. Good quality product. I chose this line throughout my whole house. Knobs feel substantial and all screws are hidden.

> 3 dayI have lived in my current home less than 5 years and this is my 3rd Kwikset Tustin and now it is not working. The little screw that holds the handle on fell out and is lost. This happened with the last one I had. Also the little knob on the inside that locks the handle will not turn. The current handle broke in less than 1 year. You may ask, Why do you keep buying if it keeps breaking?. The reason is that it matches all the other handles in the house. I have had no problem with the inside handles just the back door handle. The front door is a different brand and we have had no issues with it. I may have to buy that brand for the back door as well. That brand is Schlage in case you wanted to know. I would avoid buying this lock.

> 3 dayThe main reason I chose this brand is that I work in corrections. A good friend of mine is a locksmith and was telling me of all the different locks that people buy at walmart and other stores that can be broken into in a matter of seconds. Just to rub it in, he actually showed me. He mentioned the ONLY brand that he has never been able to crack, was Kwikset. So I did some research and turns out, hes not the only one who has problems cracking these bad boys. I decided to get all three entry doors in my house refit with these. The second selling point, was that you could re-key them with ANY key!!! So I get these three in the mail and to my surprise, each one had been keyed to the same key, so I didnt have to do anything but install!!! They did the work for me. Now installing them takes roughly five minutes a pop if you know what youre doing, and ten if you have to look at the instructions. Even though they already keyed them to the same one, I wanted to see if this was as easy as they advertise. And wouldnt you know it, takes about 20 seconds and you have a re-keyed lock. No BS. Hands down the easiest, best looking, and user friendly piece of hardware I have ever added to my home. I reccommend this to everyone, worth every penny.

> 3 dayI recently finished my basement, and purchased these because they are what my builder used on the upper floors. Ive had those for 2 years, and the quality on them is still top-notch. I love the color and shape as well, and was happy to continue the look in the basement. Highly recommended.

> 3 dayUsing on outdoor gate as the old one broke after 8 years of abuse. It is a direct replacement, only have to rekey. Seems to have less freeplay than old one. Installation was easy but had to take out the handle and flip around as my lock is on the other side. Dont lose the tool that disconnect the handle, over time the lock might come loose and require tightening, you need the tool to take off the handle to expose the screws.

> 3 dayTook me 20 minutes to install which was a lot because it was complicated. I replaced a closet door to add a lock feature. The handle curve on the outside is the opposite of all the other handles. Lets see how long it takes for the wife to notice.

> 3 dayGreat product, the fact that you can re key it to match other doors makes this a great product. The price is a bit more then I think it should be, but overall a great product.

Greater than one weekBought a flipped house 5 years ago with all contractor-grade hardware and fiberglass doors. I like this Kwikset door knob much better. Its got a tight fit that makes it feel really sturdy and the added heft makes it easy for the door to close without having to slam the door. Was able to use the smart key feature to easily rekey them to match, so that only a single key is needed for the house. Highly recommend.
