Kwikset98180-002 San Clemente Single Cylinder Low Profile Handleset Front Door Lock with Halifax Lever Featuring SmartKey Security in Satin Nickel, Keyed Entry

'Doing complete exterior update and the door hardware was the last item on the list. Since I had a Kwikset Signatures Hawthorne Single-Cylinder with Deadbolt Smartkey Handleset (Venetian Bronze) and loved it, I decided to stay with Kwikset for this project. I chose the San Clemente for the low, flat profile and matte black color; but, really it is the easy re-key and dependability features that really matter. Additionally, the San Clemente fits exactly with the drill holes that the door already had. I mean everything fits...strike plates, deadbolt, handle position and even the support at the bottom of the handle. That is a big bonus if you happen to love your door, especially if it is metal clad. Directions included are straight forward and easy to follow. The one point where an extra hand would have been helpful is to hold the handleset while threading the screw for the lower support of the handle. The machined screw for this spot may be a bit challenging. If you have a metal clad door that screw may have pushed a bit of insulation into the receiving fitting. Never fear, pull the unit back out, use a sewing pin to grab out that nasty little bit and then reinstall. If your backplate for the lever is acting a little wonky, likely one of those two screws is not yet set...back it out a little and then drive it back in. Remember easy does it, work each screw and come back to each for final set. Resist the urge to crank one down first. I spent45 minutes to install and re-key Kwikset's fabulous San Clemente with Halifax Interior Lever Handleset. It's a clean simple look that will fit many styles, is easy to install, YOU can be re-key it any time you like....GO FOR IT!

Una chapa muy elegante aunque tuve que devolverla porque no era compatible con mi puerta pero la devolución llego rápido y todo en orden

Llego rápido y es muy lindo, con puerta de madera quedo fantástico, muy a la moda. No hay igual a la venta en las tiendas de hogar en Mexico, recomiendo mucho.

I originally ordered a wiser Greg one lock which had the same style of handle set. That lock was $50 more expensive than the quickset. I return the wiser to get the quickset as it looked exactly the same and it was also certified a grade one security lock. I was greatly surprised at the quality and how easy it was to install. some people might find it difficult to install and I admit that I had to learn a little bit more about how a handle and the lock works, but once you find out it was fairly simple and easy to install. The only thing I did not like which was my fault was that the lock and handle are only for standard size door thickness of one and three-quarter inches. My door was 2 inches thick. The thick door conversion kit was not readily available and they told me I would have to wait weeks. Considering That my door was wood, are use the router and cut grooves so that my lock and handle set with fit. This is not the right way to do it but I couldn’t wait for thick door conversion kit. Regardless, the lock works very well even though I made a mistake and put the lock upside down. I would break this a 4.5 stars for value considering that the wiser lock after taxes would cost me $60 more. I also have to say that Amazon does provide the best customer service out of any retailer.

Excelente producto, buena calidad, se ve muy bien y fácil de instalar. Buena alternativa al estilo de chapas que se encuentran en el mercado.
