Very poor design

The screws are close enough to the handle that the handle itself gets in the way of the screwdriver. A direct address is not possible; The only option was to tilt the screwdriver, which pretty much ensured the screws were cross-threaded and therefore didn't go all the way in. Whoever designed this doorknob must have spent ages trying to install it. It's fair because I had to do that. Buy this set and give it to someone you secretly hate; It's not good for anything else.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Fits

I have ordered twice and both broke within a week

I am selling my house and wanted to redo all the gold hardware. I thought Kwikset was a reputable brand, but when I installed the first one and unlocked the handle lock, it kept spinning. It was a nightmare with multiple real estate agents coming and going to showings. I ordered another one thinking I'd made it and here we are a week later and the inner lock on the handle is hard to turn. The set looks great, but the functionality falls off very quickly. I strongly recommend finding the best…

Attractive and good price, plus the same key!

This is an attractive lock set. I wouldn't say the lock itself isn't a match for Schlage, but for a budget lock it does the job. I bought 3 for a rental home to have all the doors reinstalled and am very happy with the results. All three sets come with the same keys. If you buy them from big stores you pay a lot more and then have to pay to re-enter the keys. To be clear, this is a nice set of locks that are beautiful to look at and very sensible. by price. If you want a better lock, you can…

Installation failed because the lock won't turn

I've tried installing this several times and the locking mechanism didn't work. I bought one from Rocky's Hardware for twice the price and installed it in an hour. An attempt to install this device took about 3 hours and was unsuccessful. I know I installed it correctly because the knob was spinning. I tried to undo the installation. I tried changing the position of the lock. Use some of these components when installing a more expensive door knob that I personally bought from a store across the

Great set at a great price

Our door handle broke so I decided to replace it with this one. Normally I would go for a higher quality brand but we plan on selling them soon so we didn't want to spend a ton. I have no complaints about this set other than being used to our old "always open" door knob for emergencies. This only opens from the inside when unlocked. Guests seem to prefer this because you can tell if the door is locked or not (since it doesn't turn on inside or outside when locked). IM getting used to it. The…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Problem

This article is hot trash!

I am very disappointed in the quality of this item. When I unpacked the set and noticed all the moving plastic parts, I knew I'd picked the wrong part. But I decided to install anyway, which was disappointing to say the least. After installation, the latch worked perfectly, but the handle is stuck and will not return to its original position on its own. It must be rotated back to center manually. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to try to pinpoint the problem and all I can think

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Minor issues
