Outstanding Door Hardware

Would Recommend

We installed these Kwikset door locks on both the front and patio doors. We love the finishes and styles. They are so much safer and secure than the old ones installed years ago. One cannot buy better door hardware than Kwikset.

battery eater

Would Not Recommend

it ate up the battery in two weeks or less! purchased some rechargeable batteries since someone I know said they were using them. the lock would not turn on. what is the point of having something like this, which eats up the batteries so quick? are these people connected to the battery manufacturers? not worth it. will be returning it for a regular lock and doorknob.

Easy programming with more than enough capacity

Easy install replacing another Kwik set lock. Thorough instructions and easy to follow. Black keypad/ lock matched my door nicely

It’s a 9 out of 10!

Would Recommend

The programming instruction is not real clear. The look is exactly what we were looking for and the smoothness of the action is incredible.

It sometimes lets you in

Would Not Recommend

The lock looks nice, easy to install but that's where it ends. I have to have spare keys hidden around the exterior so that I can ensure I enter the house. It doesn't like to accept the code and unlock. Have to hit lock to run the sequence, push the door a couple times, and then enter the code while hoping it works. I would avoid this lock.

Horrible. DO NOT BUY

Would Not Recommend

Absolutely horrible. I've had to factory reset this thing dozens of times. At this point it's no longer even responding to basic key presses. The instructions are extremely vague and don't match with what the lock actually does. It gives combinations of beeps and noises that aren't in the manual. Can't add user codes, and the cable that connects between the front and back is extremely sensitive and often slips making the front panel useless. This was a waste of money

Easy and quick setup…!

Would Recommend

Easy to install and setup…! Found a short YouTube video from Kwikset and was able to follow along step by step and have this touchpad installed within 30 min. Loving using it every day. It was a perfect replacement for my old doorway key lock entry. Good price too!!

Garbage

Would Not Recommend

We bought 2 (for the front and back door) and it worked just fine. 6 DAYS later, we returned to the property and NEITHER would work at all; leaving us stuck. Customer service rep stated that a “basic function failed” so we need to exchange them for replacements. I definitely do not want another set of this product and would not recommend.
