Kwikset San Clemente Front Door Lock Handle and Deadbolt Set, Entry Handleset Exterior with Interior Reversible Lever, Venetian Bronze, Pick Resistant SmartKey Rekey Deadbolt Security

Great quality. Love the look

Works good but only had it for a month

Easy to install. Fit perfectly in the hole from old handle. Heavy duty and nice quality. A little too expensive but that’s everything these days.

Great look and function

Overall, it is solidly made, good product. It took about 2 hours to install. It turned out well, but there were few hiccups. The instructions are very simplistic, and I had to back track twice. And big pet peeve- all of the screws, ect. came in little plastic bags. But they weren't marked. For example, the instructions would says use screw 1C, but it wasn't clear which screw this was. If you have a logical, patient mind, you will be fine with this. If you don't read introductions, or aren't patient, yoi will end up day drinking after trying to install this handle and lock.

'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!

Time for me to replace the lock. I like the looks and also it's from the same manufacture but not exactly sure it'll fit my pre-drilled holes. Go out to H.D. to check it out and get measurements and it fits nicely. Cheaper on Amazon and takes few days to come in. Takes about 30 min to remove and install new lock. As you can see the top handle is about 1/2" shorter than the old one. So I need to touch up it later. Besides that I also need to extend the strikes of deadbolt and handle. One thing that I need to find out if I can reverse direction when you turn to lock the deadbolt. Right now I have to turn the key away from the frame edge in order for the strike to go into frame to lock it. Everything else in the house is doing the opposite way. It has some clever designs within the lock so it'll fit on any doors in my opinion.

I had a gold door handle set and I’ve always hated it. It came with the house and it didn’t match at all. The color chipped and rusted over the years so I finally decided to change it. It was easy to install and it fit all the exists holes. I will say it is a bit heavy but I did order a different style. It took me a while to take off my old one because it was pretty stuck on which is why my door is dirty. I didn’t have any issues with the screws and the door is easy to open. For the price point this is a good value. I will say I do wish this had a manual though. I feel like it would make it way easier to install. Especially for people who have a new door and may need to install this so they can’t refer to a existing one.
