Looks good

We have double-glazed, steel-faced French doors with internal venetian blinds, opening to an exterior patio area. The doors came with low quality door hardware knobs that have been a pain. We therefore replaced this hardware with the Quikset Tustin Keyed Entry Lever, with Satin Nickel finish to match all internal Kwickset door levers in the house. Written and diagrammatic instructions in the carton are very clear; written and drawn by people who have aced how to communicate with non-tradespeople, with step-by-step progression thru the installation process. All needed parts are provided in the carton, each set of parts being secured in a sealed plastic bag or compartment. Again - someone has given a lot of thought to ensuring a no-hassle installation process. There's a 1-800 number to call for help if need-be. The hardware depth is easily adjusted for door thickness from 1-⅜ to 1-¾ inch (the latter being what we needed) and the levers are easily positioned to (i) face left or right, inside and outside, and (ii) have the lever with the key slot on the outside. Whatever orientation you want will be achievable. The carton includes two new door keys. We re-keyed the new lockset so that we could continue to use the keys from the old lockset we were replacing. The process is simple and easy, requires only a small tool (provided in the carton) and takes less than a minute. It does, however, require the old key to be of a KW1 type - meaning that the long grooves on the key will let it slide into the new lock. The lockset is certified for its security level and has a Lifetime Warranty. The satin nickel finish on our internal door levers, now 8 years old, has proven to resist ageing and to be very easy to wipe clean. We are hoping that the exterior patio door lever, exposed to south Texas heat, but not direct sunshine, does the same.

Superb quality , great design
