There is a smooth locking mechanism on this handle set, and it feels very This handleset was very similar to the existing one I had and it fit my door perfectly. Anchors do not require a second hole to be drilled. In the case of a replacement, such as It is recommended that you measure your existing handleset to ensure it is approximately the same length before purchasing or installing a new one.
I have installed a large number of locks and doorsets in the past, but I bought this more for the handle than for There was no problem installing the handle, but the deadbolt failed to install. There is a cant in one of the threads for one of the mounting screws, and that mounting screw can only be inserted a few millimeters. The lock has been discarded, just the handle is being used.
A 20-year-old piece of front door hardware that had become very discolored but was still functional was replaced with this pair. Despite being a relatively simple piece to install, I had to drill a hole for the bottom bolt to go through the door since it wasn't in the exact same spot The handle coated the old hole on the outside, and I just kept the decorative bold inside the hole on the inside. It doesn't seem to work as smoothly at first, but for what you get for the price, it was a great deal. The next time I buy, I will.
Installation is simple. There was no difficulty installing it as everything lined up and went right in. It replaced a similar product (different brand). In truth, the footprint on the outside of the door was smaller than when I put on the new one, but I had some extra paint and touched it up between when I removed appreciate the option to quickly change the lock if the key on the door needs to be changed at any time. Since my door has two handles, I got two with the guts for both and left out the handles for the door that doesn't I probably could have bought a dummy one, but I got these on a 1/2 price sale so I have extra guts and a spare lock and key in case I need to replace my.
A Consumer Reports review that rated this deadbolt quite highly led me to purchase a Kwikset deadbolt and put it in my home. Because I'm very happy with that particular deadbolt, I wanted door hardware that would match in colour. And knowing I could return it if quality wasn't good enough, I bought this handleset. I am very pleased with both the quality and appearance of this product. It came with the deadbolt that I used on a different door (use it on a different door).
This is the second time that I've purchased "used" items from Amazon Warehouse and generally been satisfied with the items. This time, the item was not packaged correctly and the condition was not clearly stated. Listed as "like new", the item seemed to be in good condition. Whether it was a new or used item, the door handle and dead bolt assembly were not fastened to the packaging as a new item would and were moving around freely, My normal practice is to immediately return the item for a refund, but in this case, I had to keep the item and could not It is usually worth the risk to save money, but be aware that the descriptions are not always.
I liked the price and how easily it could be reordered The fact that I can key everything in the new house to the same key by myself made this a very easy choice. I'm delighted with the results. The software would have received five stars if not for one small hiccup on the installation For some reason, this set had the same specs as the old one I was replacing, but the bottom bolt hole of the handle was a millimeter or two off. The door could have been worn out, the previous owner may have shoddy workmanship (likely, since the rest of the house is in poor condition It would not even open using the old handle from outside), or the specifications on the set were incorrect. For whatever reason, I had to drill a bit more to make this However, it still seems to be working with a slight tweak The effort I put into drilling a hole was not enough to make me regret my With it on the door, it looks really good and if you need to reach the interior, you can easily get inside. A perfect score would have been awarded if it hadn't been for that one catch.
The lock on the outside door is not good enough. This is something I will NEVER buy There are several problems with the quality of the video. Using it as the main lock on your exterior door should not be one of your priorities. It is very cheaply made. This is NOT an item I recommend purchasing. Having now understood why it was priced at only $60, I am better equipped to make a decision. My mistake was thinking I was getting a great deal. It's more of an issue of you get what you pay for here.
