We got this to replace the over twenty year old door hardware that was originally installed when the house was built. Being familiar with the Kwickset brand I believed it was a brand we could trust. In addition to the ease of installation there are several features that I really like. First is the actual build or sturdiness of the lock itself. It appears to be a substantial upgrade from our previous lock. Next is the life time warranty, great to have if it's ever needed. Finally, is the ability to rekey as often as needed without having to either remove the lock, return to the store, or call a locksmith. Absolutely the most convenient feature of this lock and handle set.
