Great lock set - door hardware and locks

I bought this door opener along with 2 bolts for my new home. When purchasing this lock set my number one concern was to ensure I was receiving a quality product. The same set is sold at Home Depot. It turned out to be exactly the same as the Home Depot set. As I continue to update my home I will continue to purchase these locks. Installation: I have already installed several brands and types of lock kits. I am by no means a professional. I found this pen very simple and easy to install. I couldn't figure out how to turn the keyhole. I want to install the handles and latches with the key facing the same direction so the key doesn't turn after the latch is unlocked. It doesn't matter much. Changing the key was very easy. I think it only took me 2 minutes to figure out how to recode the locks. As I bought 3 different locks I had 3 key options. Now I can change the key at any time without having to buy more keys. Quality: I have had this set for 3 months. I didn't have any quality problems. The lock works in 90 degree weather as well as in sub-zero temperatures. The finish is still perfect after 3 months of mishandling. Overall: I would recommend this brand and this set in particular if that's your style.
