Title: SIMPLE: simple to install and set up and it simply works
Review: Iâve only had for a few hours, so cannot comment on long term use and durability. So far though I am extremely happy with is item. I had bought a comparable item that was about $40 less, due to instant troubles I ended up returning. This Kwikset one is definitely worth the extra amount. BLUF and most importantly it just works, no frustrations or unexpected annoyances. This was super easy to install and didnât have to drill mounting holes (like the one I returned). It was easy to program, I appreciate the button near the battery that can be used for this (no need to also keep track of a master code, although that option is there to set up for those who need it, like landlords). I like the pass through function. Basically this feature makes the unit either default to be locked with someone needing to explicitly unlock or alternatively default to be unlocked with someone needing to explicitly lock. If that sounded confusing in other words itâs so when the door is open do you want it to auto lock when shut again, or would you rather it stay unlocked until you manually lock it. Itâs easy to toggle these two modes. I like having this option. The lock that I returned was set to auto lock only. Since I have this lock on the door to my car port storage which stores all my yard equipment, i like the setting of keep unlock as I go back and forth into this storage unit as I do yard work. I like too that this item uses a physical key in case the battery dies. Also, a bonus, I was able to set the lock to my already existing house key. No need for a locksmith or to keep track of an additional key. I like that is unit too is a simple electronic key pad. No extra smart features or wifi or bluetooth connectivity. Not saying smart isnât neat or useful in some cases. Itâs just overkill for my use case and a drain on the battery. I have a battery powered Ring door bell that needs constant charging, didnât want to go through that for my lawn equipment storage door lock. Plus smart locks are more money then I would have wanted to spend on for my use case. I like the KISS acronym and this lock and handle unit meets this for me. If I had to give a negative critique it would be that it uses a 9-volt battery and I would have preferred either AA or AAA since I tend to always have those around the house whenever I do need to replace batteries in something.

Title: A great key pad!
Review: We installed this today to replace our old Kwik-Set 911 keypad that gave us 10 full years of trouble-free service (before it died). Per Kwik-Set, this new 917 model is the replacement for the 911, which is by now of course discontinued.This new one is GREAT! We love it. We were able to get the same color, so it matches our (old) deadbolt exactly, and it fits perfectly (inside and outside) where the 911 had been.It is lovely, and has a few new features which are definite improvements. The battery pack used to be quite cumbersome to get to - but no more. They have revamped that part, plus it uses one 9V instead of 4 AAs.The handle inside doesn't have a "lock" and some reviewers mentioned that. It's a non issue, IMO. There is a small lever above the handle and when it's horizontal, the door is unlocked. When it's vertical, the door is locked. Same idea as the old 911 model, only there it was a button on the handle.The unit appears to be very well made and was easy to install. We are very happy with it. Thank you, Kwik-Set and Amazon.

Title: Easy to install
Review: Very easy to install. Skip the security screw it makes it hard to put on and program. Other than that easy to program, durable and works well

Title: Works well. Fit and finish isn't fantastic
Review: Was simple to install and set up. Does exactly what I wanted it to do.My only gripe is that the handle is rattly. I bought this to replace my old standard Kwikset because the handles had so much play in them and it was annoying me that no matter what I did to alleviate the issue they still had a lot of slop. This brand new out of the box does the exact same thing. Maybe I should've spent more money on a higher end model, or something with my door is weird.

Title: Works great, includes Drive in Latch
Review: I could not tell if this was comparable with a drive in latch style door when I ordered it. Turns out it comes with a converter drive in latch attachment thing to replace the screw in latch plate. Figured I would post this to make that clear to others. The knob instructions were also clear and easy to follow, it feels very solid and good ð, works perfectly.

Title: Great design and more compact than the last one
Review: Iâm a fan. All my locks are Kwikset. This one unlocks and locks super fast too. Installation was a breeze, along with the programming of codes. I love that it automatically locks when the lever is in the up position. Felt like I was the only one in the house who ever remembered to lock the last one!

Title: Makes getting into the house more convenient.
Review: We got locked out of our house when a lightning strike tripped some breakers and our garage door wouldnât open. We didnât have a key with us so we had to call a locksmith. Not anymore. This installed quickly. The video was great. Since our home used Kwikset, being able to rekey to match the rest of the house was a great feature. Battery life is good. Went with less tech (no WiFi, Bluetooth, or fingerprint) just push the buttons. Like the one time use feature as well.

Title: WORST handle pre config I ever seen, runied the whole thing!
Review: This was the only option for a door knob auto lock with handle. Problem is the handles came with set screws screwed in place already. When I went to install the handles one set screw was screwed in backwards (larger threads first) and broke my bit trying to back it out. If thats not bad enough The other larger side of the set screw for the handle is a micro torx bit smaller than T-7H torx and it only comes with a allen wrench that works on the side that goes DOWN! WTH?? Makes absolutely NO SENSE. $111.00 dollars down the drain! Completely flawed set screw system.

Review: Quick and easy to install. I searched all over for a lock that would fit in my small space to fit on the door. This is the most compact in length and works very well. Comes with a key but never have to remember keys at the door again with the codes.

Review: Definitely a high quality item as it withstands all weather, hot, cold, and rainy. I was even able to use it with ice on the buttons. Iâve had it for a year and it seems like it will last for years to come.

Review: Instalamos varias de estas cerraduras en casa, y en nuestras viejas cerraduras, cada vez que querÃamos abrir la puerta de la oficina o de la cava de vinos, tenÃamos que perder muy valioso tiempo en ir a buscar la llave a donde la escondÃamos. Ahora, después de una muy fácil instalación, sólo hay que teclear un número y listo!ð ya no hay que perder más tiempo buscando las llaves.

Review: I bought this lock to replace another one that stopped working within a week. I installed it on our garage door. The installation was easy. The lock is sturdy and looks good. I am happy with it now. I will revisit this review if it causes problems.
