Review on Kwikset Cylinder Deadbolt Featuring SmartKey Hardware for Door Hardware & Locks by Chris Reddick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well that was easy: Doorknobs

My 10 year old Kwikset lock decided one day it wouldn't take my key anymore. I looked at Revain here and found this. I didn't want to replace the whole thing as my old one is slimmer and has a handle so I used the handle from this one and put it in the old outer piece. I also changed the part that goes to the door. It took 6 screws and literally 10 minutes for that awkward first timer. Obviously a locksmith would charge $150 to do the same. If you have a screwdriver, you can do it! There are also videos on Youtube showing step by step how to do it. I'm thankful I saved $135 and know how to change the lock if I ever need it again!

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
