 I love the smartkey doorknbs/levers
By Kev
I have replaced all my home and lake home doorknobs with smartkey levers. I do handyman stuff at our small church too and have replaced most of the doorknobs there with smartkey handles too. Its sooo easy to key them all alike! They are a quality product as well – and bump key proof! I recommed you look up bumpkey on youtube and watch how easy it is for a young girl to get into your house!

 Purchased This to Replace Similar Schlage Model
By iix
That title is a little misleading. I did indeed buy this lever specifically to replace a brand spanking new Schlage lever. But the reason I did wasn’t because of craftsmanship, rekeying abality, color, or some other fault in the Schlage lever. I replaced it with this Kwikset lever because of an “emergency exit” feature on the Schlage levers. I just went and replaced all the knobs in my house with Schlage levers, except one door, which got this Kwikset lever instead. You see, the emergency exit allows you to open the door from the inside no matter if it’s locked or not. This is a great feature if your house is going up in flames, but when it’s not, it can bet somewhat annoying and could easily allow you to accidentally lock yourself out of the house. We actually like this feature on the Schlage lever except for our basement door. We wanted a keyed entry from the basement as it could be a point of entry for a burglar. I don’t know of any emergency, short of a tornado or maybe carpet bombing(!), that I would want to scramble to the basement for. This feature is particularly dangerous for us as we have a small child who can now reach the levers and pull them down. Him tumbling down the basement stairs is pretty low on my list of life experiences I hope to share with him. So, we opted for this Kwikset lever and moved the Schlage to another outside door. The Kwikset does not have this emergency exit feature.
Having both of them in my hand at the same time I would have to say I prefer the Schlage lever over the Kwikset. But that doesn’t mean the Kwikset is of poor quality. It actually seems like a pretty well built piece. If I hadn’t opted for the Schalge hardware I would expect myself to be pleased with my Kwikset levers. I did almost buy all Kwikset to start with. The SmartKey seems like a great idea and just about had me sold. That is until I went on Youtube and watched people break into these locks pretty easily. I know those guys are pros but it scared me enough to not buy them. I ended up spending $75 overall, or so, more on the Schlage which did not have a SmartKey like system. I do believe Schlage makes locks with their own rekeying system but these I bought did not have them. Which, if it takes away even a little bit of security of your house, is a good thing to skip. I’ve got all my keys labeled and ordered now for all my new locks and it’s not really much of a hassle. The SmartKey system would have saved me from keeping track of about three pair of keys. Not really worth it in the end.
The reason I have four stars is for a few reasons. The videos of people breaking these locks have a lot to do with it. But also they are a little bit smaller than the Schalge levers. I also don’t really like how the base cover snaps on and off. It is the only way to expose the screw heads to attach/detach the lever. I did, however, like the handle switching. At first it seems like a much better system than the Schlage levers. You just take an allen wrench, which is provided, and give a couple of turns down by the base. There’s a little screw in there that loosens and you can easily slide of the levers and switch them around. This part was similar, but a little bit easier than the Schlage ones. However, it wasn’t easier in the end. I had to take the base cover off to screw it together in the door. Then I had to snap the cover back on before I put the lever back on and screwed it down. I had none of that extra stuff with the Schlage levers. Sure, the screws aren’t exposed on the Kwikset becasue of the snap on cover, but I don’t even notice them on the others anyway.
It is worth saying too that these levers are very similar to the Schlage Tustin Satin Nickel levers I am comparing with. They looks very, very similar. Maybe just a bit of a size difference, but not much. The colors match and the style and shape match perfectly. The one big difference between the two is the base of the lever. The Kwikset is more grooved and the Schlage base is just a smooth slope.

Love Them!
By KDD515
The picture doesn’t show how pretty these REALLY are. Heavy construction and look SOOOOOO nice on our 6 panel oak and pine doors!! I’ve seen the exact same ones advertised for $50.00 ON SALE so these are a fantastic buy. Easy to install. I’ve had MANY compliments and they work great for kids – no knob to try to grasp hold of. Would buy this brand and style again if I ever ended up moving.
