Not for right hand doors.
Would Not RecommendI 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.

Battery must be in place and attached for outside
Would RecommendI 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.

Kwikset 917 black finish
Would RecommendI 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...
