Review on πŸšͺ Modern Square Matte Black Privacy Door Knob - Kwikset 97300-939 Pismo by William Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great looks and performance

So far so good. I installed all of the new Kwikset SmartKey Latches (Milan) and Knobs (Pizmo) in our 1942 home and they fit together nicely. There is very little difference in gloss between the two finishes, but this could likely be due to the need for a stronger grip finish. a huge plus. Installation went relatively smoothly, although I had to make minor adjustments to the door and frame to accommodate the latch and hasp. After installation, the knobs and buttons work smoothly without sticking. They snap securely in place and feel secure. The only feature I would like is the ability to adjust the orientation of the lock cylinder to the deadbolt. In my current setup (left turn), the orientation of the Pismo grip cylinder is 180 degrees away from the orientation of the Milanese bolt. I believe they match when used on the right hand door.
