Kwikset 991 J 15 SMT CP 991 Juno Entry Knob and Single Cylinder Deadbolt Combo Pack featuring SmartKey in Satin Nickel

I purchased two Kwikset SmartKey entry sets because they are very attractive, have a smooth operation, are an excellent value, and are more secure than most. They are also easy to install: most door knobs require you to completely unscrew the knob connecting bolts, attach the knobs, and screw the bolts all the way in again, but the Kwikset allow you to install one knob with the bolts already in place, twist the other knob onto the bolts, and just screw the bolts a few turns to secure the knob. I also read about the security of different keyed locks, and the SmartKey is better than most because it cannot be "bumped" open by a thief. Yes, there is still a tool that thieves can use to break into a SmartKey lock, but they are less readily available and not easy to make at home. The only more secure locks are commercial anti-pick locks which get to be quite expensive. Thieves can also break a window or cut a hole in your wall if they really want to get in. I do love the ability to re-key the SmartKey myself without additional hardware. I've had to re-key my house before when keys were stolen, which involved my wife sitting at home without door locks while I had them re-keyed at Home Depot. It is also nice for landlords to re-key between tenants. I did have a problem with an audible click when I turned one of the knobs all the way. The outer metal shell of the doorknob is crimped onto the inner metal frame by four depressions, but the crimping one one of the knobs allowed the outer shell to move relative to the inner frame, resulting in an audible click. I was able to fix this (at least for now) by sliding the rosette (the decorative flange part) off the frame and applying some superglue in the four spots where the doorknob shell meets the frame. All in all, this is a nice, secure entry knob and deadbolt set for a good price. Add the convenience of being able to re-key yourself using the SmartKey, and it makes an excellent choice for an entry door. Let me know if you found this review helpful by clicking below.

What I really like is it matches all the other locks. A would-be burglar would never know. He/she may try, but fail to gain entry. I also love that I didn't need to have new keys made. 20 seconds and they're rekeyed to our existing key, They were a simple drop-in replacement for the original set. No modification was required. I did see one review here that said the screws kept working loose. I put a few drops of thread lock on each, so I'm sure that will not be a problem. To sum it up, they look great and work great. They were easy to install and for $30 what a worthwhile upgrade. My only question is, why do they still sell ANSI Grade 3 locks? You do realize with a file, a rubber band, and a screwdriver anyone can make a bump key that acts as a master key for virtually any lock. You can even purchase bump keys online. If your locks are not bump proof, what's the point of locking? They only keep honest people out. Anyone that doesn't upgrade might as well put out an estate sale sign, everything must go.

Just installed it today. Looks fabulous on my new security door.

Ironically, our last lock was a Kwikset, so sizing was a non-issue when installing. The set we replaced was probably original to the house, or at least over 10 years old. It was definitely showing its age, as well as the deadbolt no longer workings (hints why we replaced it!). This new set was fairly easy to install. The deadbolt was very straightforward and installed in less than five minutes. I didn't need the instructions for the deadbolt. Only tricky item I ran into, user error, was that of putting the middle section in wrong, had it to high. Easy enough to fix. Would have been a two minute job if not for that error. The knob itself was a bit tricky and hints at the loss of a star. The screws joining the outside and inside knob are smaller than the holes. There's a catch mechanism where you have to twist it to get them to sink, but with limited light and room to work with makes it a bit difficult. The one we replaced just had a standard long screw in it, so I suspect they changed their design. Not sure the purpose of it, but once you get it screwed in the handle is very solid, definitely more so than the one we replaced. So far, pretty happy with it. We've had it for only a day now, but it's a lock and it feels solid, hard to ask for more at this price point.

I purchased this knob combo set because you can change the key code yourself. Perfect for rental homes that require lock changes for new renters. Also works for multiple entry points on the same home so locks can be keyed the same. Great lock set for residential use. Quality construction and superior appearance at an affordable price.

This is my 2nd combo set, can easily be re-keyed to match other kwikset smartkey locks in your home. Install process is simple. Seems to be durable and looks nice.

I replaced the cheesy lock on my house with these locks. They ate sturdy, attractive and easy to install. and work seamlessly. Being able to rekey the lock without having to go to a locksmith is labor and time saving. I can rekey whenever the need arises. I already had a set of these on the front door. Very easy to rekey so all locks use same key.

High quality and easy to install.

Got what I paid for. They look good, they function, and they installed easy.

I looked on Youtube videos on how to put this on and it looked pretty easy but wasn't 100% easy with my door but once we got the bottom knob on which is easier it made the door tighter and then the top worked perfectly. I am so happy. One of the reasons why i'm happy is because I was robbed before in a previous apt and when I got home the apt was upside down including my bed they got away with $5,000 worth of guitar equipment and recording gear. I'm on disability and it took me forever to buy that and rebuy all my gear, nothings gonna make me stop my music. In the previous apt everybody should check their locks, it turned out the deadbolt of the old lock in my old apt was so small you could push the door open with force. This Kwikset Juno 991 lock is incredible it has a huge deadbolt that fits and you can twist the inside part if you need the deadbolt to not go too far like not fitting so that's great I didn't have to do anything though. I really love this lock and I don't see anybody busting through this and even if they do I got 2 awesome loud alarms that work great I will be doing a review on those here on Amazon soon too, but I love this exterior door knob it's just everything I needed. I would recommend this to others for sure.
