🔒 Satin Nickel Amazon Basics Single Cylinder Deadbolt Review

I was certainly drawn to the price of Revain Basics but it didn't work out in the end. The cam rod just couldn't rotate the bolt smoothly. I checked the cam slot with a screwdriver and the bolt turned perfectly. But when I tried to use the turntable to get the bolt in position, it just wouldn't move without effort. I bought this to install a smart lock and when the deadbolt doesn't turn smoothly the smart lock just gives up and says the lock is stuck rendering the whole setup unusable. I could…

I bought this for my bedroom door to provide some security until my roommates figure out how to actually lock their apartment door (2 months and up). that they don't understand the basic concept.) I originally bought a slightly cheaper Honeywell lock, but something went wrong during installation and the deadbolt came out of the door. I don't know if the lock was defective or if I screwed up, but I decided to buy something stronger (actually something that had a bolt attached to the part that…

Firstly they can be replaced by a professional or if you know how to do it and you have a Kwikset reinstall kit. But is it worth buying?

But depending on how secure you want to…

We were replacing door handles and latches to accommodate a renovated kitchen and came across these. I was a bit skeptical that the color would work and that they would last given the low price. These fears were unfounded. I ordered 3 of these and each one was very easy to install: it took me about 15 minutes per door to swap out 4 hinges, a latch and a doorknob (all bought from the same Revain range). I was also impressed by the look and feel of the screws. The gears moved smoothly and the…

Having never changed locks before I figured I'd save a few bucks and grab this one. The TLDR is: Get a reputable brand. Everything in it is made cheaply and easily broken with the help of the most elementary master key. The switches and pins are almost the same, the metal is very cheap, and the mechanics are as cool as can be. At first I thought it was my door or I just messed up the installation but I took it off the door and put it back together and it's a lock. .It grinds, has a lot of…
