🔑 Enhance Home Safety and Hygiene with Lido Keyed Entry Lever: Microban Antimicrobial Protection & SmartKey Security in Polished Brass Review

I had a great doorknob (traditional) on the front door. Outside, I installed a retractable screen, a nifty little invention. However, this setup requires an aluminum strip to be attached to the outside edge of the door opening, which is within 1.5 inches of the outside edge of my traditional doorknob. Because of this small gap, we often bump our knuckles when trying to open the door from the outside. It was very annoying. I switched to this lever handle which has a MUCH narrower HEAD and the…

Replaced a broken door lever latch in a rented home. The existing lido bar kit was somehow broken by the tenants. I don't know how, but it broke and had to be replaced. This was a replacement in kind. After about 30 minutes of fumbling with removing the broken level lock, the installation takes a maximum of 10 minutes. Good smooth running and I have used these lido shutter kits in several homes in the north west and they hold up to the weather very good value for money. The best part is the…

I bought this lock to replace the same locks in my house. When I read that you can recode this lock yourself, I thought it would be difficult. I made a mistake and was able to match all the other doors in 5 minutes. Save yourself the key service or do you have to deal with different keys that look the same. Good product. Ty had an issue with the loose set screw holding the outside handle in place. Called Kwikset support and their service was exceptional! They asked a few questions and found…

The biggest advantage for me is the ability to change keys at any time. My family tends to lose keys and this used to be a problem due to the cost of a locksmith. Now when it is necessary to replace our locks with a new key, I just follow a few simple steps for each lock and the job is done. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully. I once pulled the key too soon while installing a new lock and had to spend thirty minutes repeating the process to find the exact spot where I originally went…

I wanted to replace the round doorknob between the house and garage with a doorknob. The key to the front door opens all the locks in the house. I wanted to use the same key for all locks. I looked to see that the front door lock was a Kwikset, so I looked at the new Kwikset exterior locks and noticed that they have a 'smart key'. Once the (simple) installation was complete, the key changing process only took a minute or two. Simply insert the key that came with the lock, turn it, insert and…

SMARTKEY PROBLEM (explained below) This is a good locking/entry lever. It's nice and heavy, and the mechanisms seem really solid. I love the brass finish and how it looks. However, I had a problem - I bought it because of the SmartKey technology. I wanted to be able to use the same key for our deadbolt and new lock/lever. Our old door knob and latch used the same key so I figured it would work. HOWEVER, one thing that couldn't be easily explained on the order page (and I'll admit maybe it's…

=== MECHANICAL === I purchased a custom-fit Lido Satin Nickel Entry to replace the exact model and finish. The original has been in use for years and has started to wear out mechanically from constant daily use. I installed another one on another door that is still mechanically fine. In general the quality is good. === SMART KEY === With Smart Key technology, you can: • Add or replace locks without having to pay for lock recoding. • Temporarily recode the lock. For example, if a contractor…

My new Lido Lever Entry arrived quickly and after a long time with customer service it works great. 5 stars for working with me to get it right. As this set has a lever that sticks out to the side it should be obvious that you need to be able to adjust the grip to suit your conditions (left hand or right hand opening). The set is preconfigured for one direction. So 50% of you don't need the following information. However, if you need the lever on the left side of the lock when looking at the…

I'm writing this review for all the different versions of this lock I've bought and had to replace. So please excuse me if you see this more than once. But since I didn't know where people would start, I figured it would be best to put it in all places, just to be on the safe side. Seems like a lot of people have had good luck with this lock (although I'm curious what people think, or if they've had similar problems after owning it for a while). And there's definitely something nice about the…
