You can argue that some of Kwikset's highest end competitors produce a higher quality product, but it's hard to find a door set that comes anywhere near the style of this unit at anything close to the price.  Time will tell how the finish holds up, and what the lifespan of the set will be, but it feels good, was easy to install and has definitely improved our home's curb appeal. Smartkey technology is just a bonus!  Recommend Kwikset as great design at a reasonable cost..
