Very easy to install, all necessary Hardware included even the Long Island wrench to secure the inside handle. The locking mechanism works good the short screws for the strike plate and the door work securely and it's a smooth operation. The lock works great what I usually do is put the opening key on the top of the door ledge so it's easily accessible in an emergency.

Missing important screws

Missing small screws to attach handle to mount. Handles keep falling off due to no screws being provided with handles, I’ve tried looking at a local hardware store and I am unable to find anything that will keep the handles from coming off the door.

I was not as professional as some of the other ladies reviews, lol - mine did not come with instructions and a friend had to show me.

Super easy to install. Only takes a few minutes. Completely elevated the look of my interior doors! Highly recommend!

Very chic looking black matte entry door handle, used it on my new shaker door and looks very chic! Purchased more Kwikset locks with the SmartKey technology but not installed yet. But what a great thing for having just one key and you can change it at any time. Love it.

Poor production quality. The small screw that eventually holds one of the handles on was installed already and must be taken out then you slide the handle back on and put the screw back. That screw was paint in and I could not get off with the applied Allen key.

Fantastic

These were very easy to install. I did 6 of them last night in about 2.5 hours. That includes my garage entry and re-keying the lock with my current Kwikset key that also unlocks my front door. I am installing more now and have it down to 11-12 minutes each. This is coming from a woman in her 50s that has a handyman do lots of things. You can do it! They look great and feel very sturdy.

The Kwikset handles have a good build quality and finish. They feel substantial when using them. Packing for delivery was sketchy - 5 handles in their boxes bouncing around a large box with no packing material. Luckily, none of the handles were chipped.

Excellent! Very good installation instructions. I am very happy with this product. It’s so much better having a handle than a knob.

Kwikset or SLOW-set, What else is misleading?

Too bad Kwikset can't even accurately describe their privacy lockst product, or provide complete instructions. There were no written instructions but you can find them online. Without knowing a "secret" step, it is not universally handled. No-one in customer support at Kwikset could explain how you could EASILY swap handles when each side has a physically different handle. It looks like I have to return two that I purchased and cancel an order for 8 more.
