🔒 SmartKey Satin Chrome Deadbolt by Kwikset: 660 Single Cylinder Deadbolt with Enhanced Security Review

I purchased an entry handle and separate latch with Kwkiset Smartkey technology. I wanted to remake the latch to match the entry handle and to my surprise it wasn't compatible! The key handle has a slightly higher notch than a deadbolt key! Both have the SAME smart key descriptions, but DIFFERENT. The descriptions for each item do NOT show any differences, so I can't know which hasp to buy. It would be very helpful to state the difference in technology/keys in the description so I can see if…

I needed to replace a Kwikset bar that was damaged (by me) - after reading about the Kwikset Smart Key I decided to give it a try. After reading the reviews, pros and cons, 5 star vs 1 star, thought I'd give it a try. If a person is determined to enter they will, and the lock is only a deterrent, but having a key is a plus. After doing the back door and installing the lock on an old Kwikset key and finding that it actually worked I ordered 2 more, 1 to replace the front lock and 1 for the…

Smart key is amazing. Yes, changing keys to locks is not difficult, but it does take money and time. With Kwikset Smartkey it takes about 5 seconds. Important.1. Don't lose the flat wire you receive as you will need it for key renewal.2. Kwikset claims to only work with their keys. Not sure but my other locks were Kwikset. I'm not sure if this will be a problem.3. When retyping, follow the prompts exactly or you'll have to go through the more complicated method of retyping partial entries. The…

Great idea. A great way to open multiple locks with the same key. A key was attached to the lock and the lock worked with that key. After attempting to recode the lock, I was left without a working key. I followed the instructions exactly. Either the lock was bad or the instructions were poorly written. I called the manufacturer who agreed (without argument) to honor the warranty to send me a new lock. The new castle isn't here yet. They didn't have any in stock and they said it would take…

"Kick" the lock to open many pin locks in seconds, but the SmartKey lock design is shockproof. I bought these locks on purpose because they are tamper proof, but the design also makes them difficult to pick (but probably no pin lock is completely tamper proof). They are well made with a steel barrel to prevent drilling. Also, my family members lost their keys several times and I reset the locks just in case. It only takes a minute to recode the locks for each lock and there is no need to remove

This latch is supplied with an 'A' latch which may require a square notch in the door edge which may need to be slotted or milled to accommodate the surround which is an integral part of the latch. The instructions list either an "A" type or a "K" type, the latter having a tab without a placket called a "tuck-in" collar. The product description does not state whether you are purchasing an "A" or "K" closure. Unfortunately I received an "A" type. However, I had several sets of locks salvaged…
