Kwikset San Clemente Front Door Lock Handle and Deadbolt Set, Entry Handleset Exterior with Interior Reversible Lever, Matte Black, Pick Resistant SmartKey Rekey Deadbolt Security

This front door handle set totally exceeded my expectations. The exterior handle is long and sleek, with a push-button thumb latch that feels sturdy and works smoothly. It really adds a nice, finished look to the front of the house. What I love most is the inside handle — it’s simple and clean, and it actually matches the rest of my interior door handles, so everything feels cohesive. Installation was straightforward, and the whole set feels secure and solid in your hand. It looks and feels like something that costs a lot more than it actually did. Highly recommend if you want a modern but timeless look! This video is after a year of uses and it still looks new!

I re did every door in my house with kwikset handles. They look amazing and add have been great. But here’s where I was really sold with kwikset. I had a problem with the finish of one of my handles years after installing them. I reached out and found out they have a great warranty on them. Customer service was fast. I spoke to someone quickly, who spoke English, who emailed out a claim form. After filling out the claim form and taking a few pictures of the damaged handle. I was done. Within a week I had a brand new replacement at my door. In these times where companies are shipping off their customer service to other countries, where you can’t get past thee endless robo operators to talk to someone, I was thrilled to do business with kwikset, who stand behind their products. I am a lifelong kwikset customer from here on out.

'Doing complete exterior update and the door hardware was the last item on the list. Since I had a Kwikset Signatures Hawthorne Single-Cylinder with Deadbolt Smartkey Handleset (Venetian Bronze) and loved it, I decided to stay with Kwikset for this project. I chose the San Clemente for the low, flat profile and matte black color; but, really it is the easy re-key and dependability features that really matter. Additionally, the San Clemente fits exactly with the drill holes that the door already had. I mean everything fits...strike plates, deadbolt, handle position and even the support at the bottom of the handle. That is a big bonus if you happen to love your door, especially if it is metal clad. Directions included are straight forward and easy to follow. The one point where an extra hand would have been helpful is to hold the handleset while threading the screw for the lower support of the handle. The machined screw for this spot may be a bit challenging. If you have a metal clad door that screw may have pushed a bit of insulation into the receiving fitting. Never fear, pull the unit back out, use a sewing pin to grab out that nasty little bit and then reinstall. If your backplate for the lever is acting a little wonky, likely one of those two screws is not yet set...back it out a little and then drive it back in. Remember easy does it, work each screw and come back to each for final set. Resist the urge to crank one down first. I spent45 minutes to install and re-key Kwikset's fabulous San Clemente with Halifax Interior Lever Handleset. It's a clean simple look that will fit many styles, is easy to install, YOU can be re-key it any time you like....GO FOR IT!

Elegant, heavy-duty, great brand, customizable

After reading reviews of similarly styled knockoff brands that had quality control issues and cheaply made internal parts, I chose to go with a name brand. I am glad I did. Internal materials was my top concern as I am replacing a handle that has shoddy pot-metal and plastic internal components that have worn out and broken. This handle has high quality materials inside and out. Internally there's very little plastic and everything looks to be zinc-coated steel rather than cast pot-metal. Installation is very easy and nearly every element of the latch is adjustable. If you are struggling with handle drooping or parts not aligning, you likely didn't read the manual on how to adjust each element. My installation went very smoothly to retrofit existing holes for both the latch and deadbolt. The handle feels sturdy and secure and it looks fantastic. Very happy I didn't go with a cheaper knock-off brand. Buy once. Cry once.

Works and its beautiful!

Excellent product. Spend the extra $ to get this product. Looks and Works real well.

We've went through a couple front door handles. Tried a couple cheaper versions, but they always broke within a couple months. This one is more expensive, but worth it. Much more solid and durable. The good color looks great. Easy to install. Buy this one!

Llego rápido y es muy lindo, con puerta de madera quedo fantástico, muy a la moda. No hay igual a la venta en las tiendas de hogar en Mexico, recomiendo mucho.

Una chapa muy elegante aunque tuve que devolverla porque no era compatible con mi puerta pero la devolución llego rápido y todo en orden

I originally ordered a wiser Greg one lock which had the same style of handle set. That lock was $50 more expensive than the quickset. I return the wiser to get the quickset as it looked exactly the same and it was also certified a grade one security lock. I was greatly surprised at the quality and how easy it was to install. some people might find it difficult to install and I admit that I had to learn a little bit more about how a handle and the lock works, but once you find out it was fairly simple and easy to install. The only thing I did not like which was my fault was that the lock and handle are only for standard size door thickness of one and three-quarter inches. My door was 2 inches thick. The thick door conversion kit was not readily available and they told me I would have to wait weeks. Considering That my door was wood, are use the router and cut grooves so that my lock and handle set with fit. This is not the right way to do it but I couldn’t wait for thick door conversion kit. Regardless, the lock works very well even though I made a mistake and put the lock upside down. I would break this a 4.5 stars for value considering that the wiser lock after taxes would cost me $60 more. I also have to say that Amazon does provide the best customer service out of any retailer.

Excelente producto, buena calidad, se ve muy bien y fácil de instalar. Buena alternativa al estilo de chapas que se encuentran en el mercado.
