Robin W: This was a replacement for a door knob that had reached it's end of life. Installation was easy and rekeying to use existing keys worked. This is a big plus to be able to have the same key open several doors, which is why I picked this model.

X Happy: There was a used entry knob in the package. I'm sure it was a return someone swapped out and returned.

Francois Beaumont: Converted cottage locks to these knobs. Very happy. One key all over. Great feature!

FF: 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.

dpantle: 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...

Amazon Customer: Returned it because my door is a bit weird so there's very little space to grab the knob. But it worked for a day and just in the case anybody is wondering: I was able to program it for "Weiser" key, and I was also able to program my "Weiser" lock using "Kwikset" key. YMMW, but it worked for me.

ChomskyKnows: Installed this in a house I'm selling. It's not bad at all.

Pros:
- speed. as long as you're not installing with a deadbolt, you may be able to do a speed run of uninstalling your old knob and installing one of these knobs in 5 minutes or less.
- value (got mine here for around $19.99)
- availability (can be found here, Home Depot, Lowes, wherever)
- SmartKey re-key thing is wonderful. Lose your key? Stolen? Who cares. Re-key the tumblers to a different key. Stick your old key in, rotate, stick the smartkey tool in (or anything of similar size), take out, take out old key, put in new key, rotate, done. New key now works, old (original) key doesn't. Can be done in 10 seconds or less. Vacationing? re-key 1 lock to an alternate key and give to neighbor. when you come back, re-key back to your key. you can let them keep the one you gave them or not, doesn't matter, it doesn't work any more...
- lock cylinder rotation tool free (at this time) + free shipping - have to call to order
- SmartKey tool included

Neutral:
- sturdy enough
- aesthetics. they're not particularly fancy. but it's a doorknob so who cares. most are utilitarian.
- smaller size...

Phil @ Amazon: 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...
