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

Installation was quick and instructions were clear. Works as expected.

Very pleased with the quality and appearance of this lock. Installation is easy.Just need to pay attention and have a good screwdriver!

I had a knob that was about to fall apart, and it did once I started taking it apart. This one was easy to install after reading the instructions. My favorite feature with these knobs from Kwikset is the rekeying function. When I bought my home they didn’t give me all the keys. With these knobs I was able to set my home on one key without paying for a locksmith. Totally worth it. Plus they turn easily and hold when they need to. Cheaper knobs don’t always do the basic things you’d expect knobs to do.

What should have been a 15-20 minute job turned into 45 minutes. I slid the latch assembly into the existing door but could not get the lock chassis to slide into the assembly holes as I could not get it to align. Finally got it to line up after repeated attempts and from that point it was easy to complete the job. Really liked the feature allowing you to rekey the lock as I had four keys being used on the old lock I was replacing and did not what to have to go out and get several more keys to match the two that came with the new door knob. So far its been easy to lock and unlock the door despite the fact we're in our cold winter season.

feels sturdy and strong. does its job well. very happy and worth the price.

In helping someone deal with rental properties, and trying to manage expenses, one that was standing out was the cost of rekeying the locks of a triplex when tenants moved out. Since the tenants were typically students, that's 10 locks every year on one building and 8 on another. Multiply your locksmith's rate for rekeying and it's not trivial.A friend of mine told me about these locks and as I read about how they worked, I also learned about 'lock bumping' and how virtually all pin and tumbler locks can be rendered ineffective. If you look for any articles or videos on that topic you'll see what this is.We were forced to make a choice on these locks or a locksmith when a real estate agent's lock box (with a thin shackle) was cut from an apartment door. We needed to change the locks before the keys were taken and used to access the apartments. The cost of an 'emergency' visit from a local locksmith was high enough that I decided to try these locks. Even with the markup for the in-stock ones on the store shelves as opposed to mail order, this turned out to be a great decision. The installation was not complicated at all, so the owner replaced the existing locks instead of paying a locksmith or contractor. Once installed, changing the lock to another key can be done in seconds per lock.We were prepared to pay a premium for a solution, but fortunately these locks are not expensive at all. They're only a few dollars more than a simple pin and tumbler lock, but offering greater security and convenience. My opinion is that for the price we paid compared to a cheap pin and tumbler lock, these are a great value, and for the flexibility they offer, I see no reason to install a pin and tumbler lock when these are available at their low price point. I'm sure that with enough thought, a number of techniques can be thought of to try to circumvent the security of the lock using it's change mechanism, but any such technique would be more complicated than bumping is on the regular lock.This doesn't seem to be an ideal landlord/tenant system though. Master keying doesn't really work here (as far as I can tell). However, Kwikset does have a solution for that, but only in deadbolts with an option called Smart Master. If that was available for knobs and handles as well, it would be worth paying for, IMHO. We are considering removing the knob locks and going with a Smart Master setup.There are other options for higher security locks and for quick rekeying, but the ones I've seen so far are notably more expensive. This is a very good value.I've also read that the finish can wear quickly on these (polished brass in my case) but Kwikset seems to have a more durable finish (look for 'lifetime' in the color description), but that's a minor consideration in my case.

First of all, these knobs are very substantial. Very good feel, and very secure. I have replaced all of the entry knobs and deadbolts around my house with these instead of rekeying my old ones to get the house ready for sale. I've used 2 of these, 4 more with deadbolts, and a Kwikset entry handle/dead bolt combo. All have the smart key option which lets me rekey all knobs and locks to one key.The only issues I had were one of the knobs came in with a defective/sticky latch. Amazon promptly replaced, so all good there.There are 2 things I don't like about these knobs: 1 is the way the knobs connect from one side to the other. Kwikset employs a method where you put one side in the door, both passthrough screws installed, then you put the other knob in and have to kind of hook an underplate to the screws. Then you tighten both screws down, and snap on the cover. Hard to explain, but very awkward and convoluted. It's like they tried to make it easy, and succeeded in making it more difficult.The 2nd thing I don't like is that they don't sell left/right hinge options, which forces you to rework the lock cylinder if you want it oriented correctly(keyhole facing up instead of down). This also requires a special tool to flip the cylinder, as well as a YouTube search on how to flip the cylinder. Those instructions were not provided by Kwikset, nor were they adequately provided on the support area of their website.Overall though, for the price, looks, and functionality of these doorknobs, I am more than satisfied.

I use this product for a front door lock. I accidentally locked myself out of the house. I then called a professional locksmith. After he arrived, he could not pick the lock. As a matter, of fact he had 30 years of experience in locksmithing and he tried everything he knew and still could not get in. He eventually had to drill out the center. These are un-pickable. You can trust this lock. Kwikset Juno Entry Door Knob is the best front door lock. They fit standard size doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick, adjustable latch backset from 2-3/8" to 2-3/4" with just a twist during installation. They are backed by a lifetime mechanical and finish warranty w/ great customer service. Kwikset’s door hardware is treated w/ Microban, this offers powerful product protection that is 99.9% cleaner than an unprotected surface

The re-key is really useful. It is easy to install and re-key. I use the knob for my main entry door. I have another Weiser knob and deadbolt (with re-key) on my garage door. The keys are compatible after re-key. Now I can just bring one key for both entrance.
