A Nice Upgrade October 14, 2008
David Carr (Orange, CA United States)

I was tired of my rinky-dink front door knob and finally jumped in with this beautiful set. My wife and I really like the rustic bronze finish as there are not many sets out there like it. It was relatively easy to install after taking out the old set. As with most things like this you may have to do a little tweaking to get it set just right, which I did. We did not drill a hole through the door for the bottom connection and it works fine. It was pricey, about $150, but I think a worthwhile investment in my home and appearance as you enter our house.
 WARNING! Cannot Be Repaired! May 2, 2009

While the idea of being able to rekey this bolt sounds like a good thing, it leaves consumer in the precarious position of being an expert locksmith - or else! If you mess up the re-keying or if any of your keys accidentally dislodge the tumblers, the lock is broken and cannot be fixed or re-keyed, even by a professional.
I purchased this set and installed the deadbolt. The first re-key did not go smoothly, but I was able to get the second key to work a few times. Someone else used a copied key that happened to be a little worn in some spots. This caused the tumblers to dislodge and the key got stuck. Locksmith had to come and take the whole deadbolt apart. Mechanism does not allow you to repair the dislodged tumblers.
Manufacturer warranty does NOT cover it if re-keying is messed up or if your key caused tumblers to dislodge. At least I still got to use the entry handle, but then that's one expensive entry handle as I had to replace the bolt with a regular non Smart Key version!
Kwilset Rustic Bronze Handle Set July 23, 2009

I am very impressed with the quality of this handle set. The Smart Key feature is ingenious! Do not worry about damaging or making the handleset/lock irrepairable. The rekey sequence is very simple and very straight forward. Just read the directions. I replaced all my doors with this type of system and it took about 15 seconds to rekey each new lock.
These handlesets and locks are extremely difficult to find at you local stores now, but Amazon had all of them and at excellent pricing too.
Good looks, great quality and a snap to rekey September 26, 2009

We are in the process of replacing all of our doors and hardware. This Kwikset turned out to be a great choice for our front door and matches our old world Mediterranean style well. The finish looks robust and the unit comes with a good warranty. The finish pieces use inset screws so nothing is visible after installation, which gives a very professional look. The unit is heavy and has a solid feel. I also rekeyed the deadbolt in less than 1 minute to match the back door - also a Kwikset. The deal here on Amazon was far superior to the local big box home improvement store (big Orange box).

We purchased this to replace our front door knob and deadbolt. We were very pleased with the product. It assembled quickly and easily. It has good weight and feels very sturdy. We didn't have any issues following the directions and rekeying the lock. It worked the first time and has worked since then.
We have only had 2 issues. The first is that the decorative cap on the bottom indoor screw is difficult to remove. Also, the screws that hold the plates on the side of the door are a little soft. Make sure you use a properly sized phillips head screw driver so that you don't strip them.
