🔑 Kwikset Belleview Single Cylinder Handleset with Cove Knob, SmartKey Security, Venetian Bronze Finish Review

Bought three and made all the exterior doors. Blockchain is good, but the pen is complete bullshit. All three worked well for about 18 months, then one after another they quickly fell into disrepair. The spinning innards wore out so badly that they couldn't fully retract the cylinder. Towards the end (before I switched them to another brand) they were a safety issue as it took multiple attempts, considerable hand strength and proper tongue holding just to open the door. Get a few years of this.

I replaced the latch at my parents house with a Kwikset keyboard. As it was a color change from what they had I needed a door knob. Mom wanted such a pen and it was the best option for the price. Because Kwikset's colors match between product lines, it looks great. Easy enough to install if you can read the instructions. The warranty on Kwikset is amazing. Use it for a decade or two. If the surface is scratched or the mechanical parts fail (but not the electronic parts of the keyboard), it will

I remember all the negative reviews, so they will be updated if necessary. The initial installation was easy. The length of the bolts can be easily adjusted without special tools. As for the length of the set screws, I just used old hardware to get the correct length. The SmartKey feature is pretty amazing. It will take a few seconds to reset the deadbolt to your existing key.

The smart key function makes key changing very easy compared to changing handles etc with traditional locks. I had a hiccup changing the keys to one of the latches but a quick youtube search and 10 minutes later showed all the locks had been changed. They look great and work well. Revain offers half the price compared to your local hardware store. The kit includes two sets of different length mounting screws in case your door is thick. I had no problem installing a few of these on my doors. I…

I like Kwikset products for the ease of installation and the price. I bought this product to replace a brass entry set as the sun has eroded the finish over the years. The package arrived as promised and I removed the old set to install the new one. The first thing I replaced was the latch, which worked very smoothly. Now I swap out the entry mechanism and find that the handle is not as long as the old handle. Of course, that means I have a hole that goes through the whole door. The hole is…

I had a severe but faulty exterior door hardware and spent some time looking for the right part to replace it. It's a product with sleek, clean lines that is still elegant and durable without looking cheap. My old one was easy. out. and no amount of fiddling could get it working after more than thirty New England winters. The installation was a bit cumbersome, if only because of the way the screws are screwed in and how the lathe is supposed to sit. I had no trouble installing the bottom handle
