I was looking for a solution that I could lock the door from the garage into the house. Other products either looked like an industrial product more at home on a storage shed than a house. This things looks GREAT. Like really nice door hardware. You can open it with either a key or a combination. You can set multiple permanent or temporary combinations. The installation was a breeze and it took less than 10 minutes to replace the old door hardware. I am extremely pleased. It looks great and functions well. The setup instructions are also quite good.

The Smart Key feature is a tremendous tool. I replaced every door lever in our home, every deadbolt, as well as adding 4 keypad locks. I was able to re-key every lock to my preferences, easy, smooth. It is secure and does not increase possibility of others to gain entry or change any keys. Reduces the need for multiple keys or having to call a locksmith. Most locksmiths are trusty but not all. The Smart Code keypads allow giving a code to someone who needs temporary access and can be easily deleted after their need is over.

I’ve only had for a few hours, so cannot comment on long term use and durability. So far though I am extremely happy with is item. I had bought a comparable item that was about $40 less, due to instant troubles I ended up returning. This Kwikset one is definitely worth the extra amount. BLUF and most importantly it just works, no frustrations or unexpected annoyances. This was super easy to install and didn’t have to drill mounting holes (like the one I returned). It was easy to program, I appreciate the button near the battery that can be used for this (no need to also keep track of a master code, although that option is there to set up for those who need it, like landlords). I like the pass through function. Basically this feature makes the unit either default to be locked with someone needing to explicitly unlock or alternatively default to be unlocked with someone needing to explicitly lock. If that sounded confusing in other words it’s so when the door is open do you want it to auto lock when shut again, or would you rather it stay unlocked until you manually lock it. It’s easy to toggle these two modes. I like having this option. The lock that I returned was set to auto lock only. Since I have this lock on the door to my car port storage which stores all my yard equipment, i like the setting of keep unlock as I go back and forth into this storage unit as I do yard work. I like too that this item uses a physical key in case the battery dies. Also, a bonus, I was able to set the lock to my already existing house key. No need for a locksmith or to keep track of an additional key. I like that is unit too is a simple electronic key pad. No extra smart features or wifi or bluetooth connectivity. Not saying smart isn’t neat or useful in some cases. It’s just overkill for my use case and a drain on the battery. I have a battery powered Ring door bell that needs constant charging, didn’t want to go through that for my lawn equipment storage door lock. Plus smart locks are more money then I would have wanted to spend on for my use case. I like the KISS acronym and this lock and handle unit meets this for me. If I had to give a negative critique it would be that it uses a 9-volt battery and I would have preferred either AA or AAA since I tend to always have those around the house whenever I do need to replace batteries in something.

I have 3 of these! Built very well. Installation went smooth. Battery seems to hold up thru heat and cold. I recommend.Only tiny complaint is the small hidden screw that holds the handles on, wish they used a different method. But not a dealbreaker. ðŸ‘

We installed this today to replace our old Kwik-Set 911 keypad that gave us 10 full years of trouble-free service (before it died). Per Kwik-Set, this new 917 model is the replacement for the 911, which is by now of course discontinued.This new one is GREAT! We love it. We were able to get the same color, so it matches our (old) deadbolt exactly, and it fits perfectly (inside and outside) where the 911 had been.It is lovely, and has a few new features which are definite improvements. The battery pack used to be quite cumbersome to get to - but no more. They have revamped that part, plus it uses one 9V instead of 4 AAs.The handle inside doesn't have a "lock" and some reviewers mentioned that. It's a non issue, IMO. There is a small lever above the handle and when it's horizontal, the door is unlocked. When it's vertical, the door is locked. Same idea as the old 911 model, only there it was a button on the handle.The unit appears to be very well made and was easy to install. We are very happy with it. Thank you, Kwik-Set and Amazon.

We’ve had this lock now for 4 months and have had no issues with the battery or locking. Instructions were easy to understand.

This product was everything you would want it to be. Looks great, but most importantly - super simple! Fast and easy install, 10 mins.

Quick and easy to install. I searched all over for a lock that would fit in my small space to fit on the door. This is the most compact in length and works very well. Comes with a key but never have to remember keys at the door again with the codes.

Instalamos varias de estas cerraduras en casa, y en nuestras viejas cerraduras, cada vez que querÃamos abrir la puerta de la oficina o de la cava de vinos, tenÃamos que perder muy valioso tiempo en ir a buscar la llave a donde la escondÃamos. Ahora, después de una muy fácil instalación, sólo hay que teclear un número y listo!😃 ya no hay que perder más tiempo buscando las llaves.

Definitely a high quality item as it withstands all weather, hot, cold, and rainy. I was even able to use it with ice on the buttons. I’ve had it for a year and it seems like it will last for years to come.

I bought this lock to replace another one that stopped working within a week. I installed it on our garage door. The installation was easy. The lock is sturdy and looks good. I am happy with it now. I will revisit this review if it causes problems.
