Kwikset Juno Entry Door Knob with Lock and Key, Secure Keyed Handle Exterior, Front Entrance and Bedroom, Antique Brass, Pick Resistant SmartKey Rekey Security and Microban

I bought this door knob, and a couple others and a dead bolt, so that I could key them all to the same key. Changing them all to the same key was very easy. I watched a video on youtube just to be sure. It was really easy. This new system is really nice. I like having one key that opens all my doors.To make installation easier, you put the screws in part way and then put the knob on and turn it a little so that it locks in. Then you finish tightening the screw. Makes it a lot easier to install. No trying to find the hole for the screw when you can't see it.If you want several door knobs and dead bolts to be keyed to one key, this is the kind to get. They also install easily.

This is a fine replacement door knob. We used it on a failed pantry door. Turn and open, no lock. Installation was pretty straightforward. Ita works very well. I think this product is a builder's grade door latch. That's what was on there before. I would order another if I need a non locking door latch

Looks good, functions well, easy to install.

Installed this in a house I'm selling. It's not bad at all.Pros:- speed. as long as you're not installing with a deadbolt, you may be able to do a speed run of uninstalling your old knob and installing one of these knobs in 5 minutes or less.- value (got mine here for around $19.99)- availability (can be found here, Home Depot, Lowes, wherever)- SmartKey re-key thing is wonderful. Lose your key? Stolen? Who cares. Re-key the tumblers to a different key. Stick your old key in, rotate, stick the smartkey tool in (or anything of similar size), take out, take out old key, put in new key, rotate, done. New key now works, old (original) key doesn't. Can be done in 10 seconds or less. Vacationing? re-key 1 lock to an alternate key and give to neighbor. when you come back, re-key back to your key. you can let them keep the one you gave them or not, doesn't matter, it doesn't work any more...- lock cylinder rotation tool free (at this time) + free shipping - have to call to order- SmartKey tool includedNeutral:- sturdy enough- aesthetics. they're not particularly fancy. but it's a doorknob so who cares. most are utilitarian.- smaller size cover may not cover larger openings- will the re-key tumbler reset function cause the lock to fail over time? I might not know this for years to come. Other reviewer(s) had immediate fails. I haven't had this issue...yet...- the SmartKey resetable tumbler concept could possibly allow locks to be easily defeated by criminals. There are YouTube videos cracking this TYPE of lock (due to the SmartKey function itself) in seconds by use of a blank + screwdriver. Note any dummy can kick down most dead-bolted doors since door frames are little more than plywood and a child of sufficient size could simply break a window. The dude in No Country For Old Men used a simple canister of some kind of pressurized gas and to knock out all the locks in that movie...On and on. I called and asked Kwikset if the YouTube videos are of CURRENT models and they say NO!!! Do you believe them? Are they still easily defeated?? They say no. It's possible you only want to install these INSIDE your home as I have to lock up certain rooms from kids...Obviously it isn't in the best interest of the manufacturer to highlight flaws in it's own products. Kwikset do have SmartKey products (deadbolts) that supposedly offer the ANSI/ BHMA level 1 (highest) rating but this isn't one of them.Cons:- there is no simple, easy, immediate method of reversing the lock. whether your knob is on the left or right is a crap-shoot. Kwikset simply could have 2 options for purchase here (preset left of right - simple as that). I get why they don't. some people would be at a store, see 2 options and have no idea or not remember which side of the door the knob is on (left vs right), then leave the store without purchasing or purchase something else (and no business wants a customer to do that). Another solution could have been a more simple hardware solution of being able to rotate the lock somehow. but there isn't with this knob. this means you'll either have to install upside down (not a big deal to some, but it would bother many anal retentive people such as myself) or you'll have to reverse it by using their Kwikset 81467 Cylinder Remover Tool (or a long screwdriver of approx similar size). there are YouTube videos that show you how to do this. This is especially lame for deadbolts...It's flat out annoying and time consuming. You're basically taking most of the thing about just to put it back together again.- screws are difficult to unscrew just to get the damn thing apart to install it. they're difficult to get back in too.- could use smaller covers than your existing cover meaning you'll have to get some paint out.At the end of the day, the price combined with SmartKey re-key function (as long as it doesn't in reality decrease security of the product) would make this generally superior to other brands.Note: I am not immediately clear on the major difference between the Juno and the Tylo sub-brands except for the security rating (this one is a 2/better, that one is 3/worse). Okay this is a tad more expensive and supposedly more secure, but why? There's also an ever-so-slight difference in appearance which I couldn't detect at first glance...

Removing cheap Kwickset knobs and lock sets to install quality replacements was great in and of itself!The installation on each door took about 10 minutes. Unlike others, Kwickset made this take easier by making the inner handles cover rotatable so you can set the screws out just long enough to insert the external handle and slide the internal knob over, rotate a bit and simply tighten the screws. No more fiffleingnwith where the screws align, it done for you!Installing the latch and strike was as simple as a few screwes. Once aligned and tightened, insertion of the external knob, aligning the internal knob scre hooks and rotating was a snap. After tightening the interior screws, I had a nice, firm, high quality locking handle that allowed me to security rekey all my doors, both knobs and dead bolts, to the same keys. I have extra keys now that I know will work and should I need to rekey, I know it'll take less than 10 seconds per door. No removal of the locks for a trip to the hardware store! I cannot recommend these high enough!

This door knob is so good! Impossible to break in through! I locked myself out of my bedroom and needed to get in and wasn't able to use a credit card to get in, nor even kick the lock off. The frame piece from the previous set was the only thing that gave way. I recommend this door knob to anyone that wants piece of mind while at home and away.

Easy to install and works like a charm. The instructions to change the key to one of your choosing is very easy to follow

Very sturdy set. Easy to install. And I was able to rekey it to match the other Kwik Set door knobs in the house. When rekeying follow the instructions exactly. You'll be happier!
