Kwikset Tustin Entry Lever featuring SmartKey in , Venetian Bronze/Standard Packaging

I can’t tell but appears there is some sort of plastic coating on these. I’m at least one, the coating is ripped. It appears to be a few millimeters thick and probably meant to extend the life of the finish. Since this is for an entry to and from a garage, I can live with it. If it was for any other door I would definitely return it. I like the smart key feature on all these Kwik set products. I have used them a lot. That is worth the money.

The 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.

Using 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.

Replacement on 7 year old home. Same exact handle with smart key. Excellent!

Amazon is turning into a fraud by the day. Its one of those place that sells defective branded items, this Lockset being just one of them. Amazon is getting rich while we lose our time and money by falling into its trap Bought this lock, with an electronic deadbolt, got skilled carpenter to install it and ended up with a broken jamb. The deadbolt wouldnt go all the way in. The deadbolt wont go into the existing slot, so the carpenter cut the slot so much that the jamb has no wood on one side. It still didnt go into the slot. By this time, the key had stopped turning completely!! The carpenter said if you bought it from Amazon, its probably inferior in quality. He has lot of experience and that resonated with me. So we rushed to the store to get new Lockset of similar make and same company... and guess what? It worked. The deadbolt went all the way in when in open position and goes into the old slot that we had. What a waste of time and money and a loss of a perfect jamb. Amazon better pay for its shameful cheap tricks to fool its customers. But its customer service is as pathetic as its fraud products Never buy brands from Amazon!!!

This handle installed so easily and fast. I am using on a front door and not just an indoor closet door. I paired it with the matching Kwikset battery-operated push-button deadbolt. Everything works perfectly.

This replaced another Kwikset knob used on our front door. Seems sturdier than the previous and the fact that this is a lever-type handle was enticing. Well see how long this lasts.

I ordered this handle/lock set for my patio garage door. It was a very easy installation and a high quality, ease of use set. I installed it and it worked perfectly. I plan to replace other doors with same appliance.

Very sturdy and easy to rekey

The picture doesnt show how pretty these REALLY are. Heavy construction and look SOOOOOO nice on our 6 panel oak and pine doors!! Ive seen the exact same ones advertised for $50.00 ON SALE so these are a fantastic buy. Easy to install. Ive had MANY compliments and they work great for kids - no knob to try to grasp hold of. Would buy this brand and style again if I ever ended up moving.
