Review on Satin Nickel Tylo Entry Combo Set by Kwikset 96900-381 690T 15 SMT BBPKG by Jason Rogness

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Light load and few failures.

I usually buy a Juno Kwikset Smart Key but I was in dire need of a full rental set so I bought a Tylo Kwikset Smart Key. And they were cheaper, which I think is a plus. There are 7 items in total including bolts and handles. One went out of the box, the key holder jumped out of the handle. It was a bar, so I went to Home Depot and replaced it with a Kwikset Juno bar. In doing so, I saw a BIG difference in internal construction between the two. Juno probably has twice as much metal. much stronger. Since then I've had to do the same thing for two pens for about a month and a half. So, out of 7 units, 3 had problems. The Kwikset Smart Key is a great idea and I've really had no problems renting it for the past 3 years. I may just have hit a bad streak with them. But I'll stick with Juno or better going forward.
