Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Kwikset Customer Service
When installing this item there is a set screw that is used to secure the handle. The screw on the inside handle wouldn't work. It wouldn't tighten or loosen. They refused to do anything about it. I was told they don't carry or provide any replacement parts. They told me to return to where I purchased it. Pitiful customer service. As a result I am going also return the dead bolt that I purchased and purchase a entirely different brand.

Wonderful team
I’ve been shopping for over 40 years, and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced customer service quite like I did at the Albany, Oregon Lowe’s. I had purchased a lock, only to discover when I opened it that it had been previously used and the keys were missing. I completed the customer survey, gave my honest feedback, and mentioned that I would be returning to the store since I had driven an hour and a half. When I arrived, the first associate I spoke with, Daisy, immediately asked if I ha...

Stopped working after 2 weeks. returning.
I was replacing a similar schlage smart lock that failed after 3 years. this one failed after 2 weeks. Schlage actually sent me a new Latch Bolt at no cost, so I put the old one back on, and it's working fine now. Great customer service Schlage!

Happy Wife
For 2 years my wife wanted a keyless entry. I was concerned about the installation. However, this Kwikset unit was so easy to install. It works perfectly. The instructions were easy to follow. It was easy to rekey with my current keys. It looks much nicer than the old beat up door knob. My wife is so happy and that is what makes life good. If you ever thought of getting a keyless entry I would highly recommend.

Kwikset 917 black finish
I have a few gripes Gripe 1 .... It requires 9v why a lot of the locks use AA etc. but what battery it uses is not it's short fall. Gripe 2 .... As other posts have listed the outside handle is a torx (#8 BTW) and the inside uses the Allen (the Allen is supplied in the kit) And yes I was a little caught off guard it was left hand thread. Instead of going home for my torx sets I had to buy a set. BTW this was installed at in-laws. Gripe 3 .... Why not use standard RH thread. And if the manu...

Battery must be in place and attached for outside
I was doing fine till I thought I was done but outside handle wouldn’t engage. Reread instructions tried reinstalling twice still no luck. Instructions a little vague. Watched several video before I found solution to my problem. An older guy had the same problem but figured out that the battery had to be plugged in before it would allow out side handle to work. Instructions didn’t say anything about that and neither did the 2 previous videos.

Dont do in store pick up. Waste of time.
The product is what i wanted. The way I got it? Strange. Bought it online for in store pick up. The product was shipped from God knows where and was going to take more than a week. I decided to go in store to pick up myself same day. When I got to the store the same product was in stock. Why was another shipped?? Why the delay?? Poorly managed customer service! Then on top of it all I was mailed a refund card!! How inefficient! Please, in the future, just credit my account.

Hello Bill,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear the SmartCode 917 is the product you were looking for...

Very good design overall
The really nice feature is that the battery can be replaced without have to disassemble the entire handle, unlike the older system we were using. Programming was easy. The only thing preventing me from giving this 5 stars is that the door levers are not easy to secure on the doors. You have to use a supplied special hex wrench and insert it through the latch spindle to tighten an internal set screw so that the door lever stays in place. It would have been much easier to have a set screw that wen...

DO NOT BUY
I got this lock for my bedroom at my house, and last night I was entering my code, but it wouldn't open and said the passcode was wrong. It locked me out of my room and I had to hire a locksmith to pry it off of my door, which in the end cost even more than how expensive this door handle already was. The programming on these are not the best and are severely expensive for no good reason.
Hello Bella,

Not for right hand doors.
I have a right hand opening door. The interior handle points the wrong direction. Says it can be changed but I’ve not figured it out. It puts the Allen screw on the opposite side of the hole.
