Master Lock TUO0105T Tulip Door Knob with Lock, Antique Brass, Pack of 2

Buena calidad y facil de instalar

I needed to replace my old lock because the deadbolt was sluggish and I didn't want to have two separate keys (so I ordered this whole set). The Master Lock TUCO0605 came in many pieces in a hard shell plastic packaging. To my surprise the manufacturer included 4 keys (all the same). Installation was quite simple and took me about 20-30 minutes. Tools needed: Screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver and a tongue. Maybe you don't need the tongue but my lock had a steel frame/plate on the outside with a hole for the old doorknob (which had two 'noses' that didn't fit the two screw-stems of the new one so I had to bend them inwards). If you don't have this metal plate on your door - forget about the tongue. The deadbolt has a key side and a lever to turn around (lock/unlock) on the other side (the side you can not see in the official product photos). You can actually reverse the two sides so it doesn't matter in which direction your door opens. The doorknob unit also has a key side and a lever (lock/unlock) on the other side. Same as with the deadbolt, you can reverse it. The key works the following way on the doorknob unit (same with the lever on the inside - just reverse): * Turn the key 90° clockwise and the doorknob is locked. You cannot turn it anymore. If you close the door now you could lock yourself out. * Turn the key 90° counterclockwise and the doorknob is unlocked. Now you can turn it. In this mode you can open and close the door without a key. * Turn the key ~180° counterclockwise and the doorknob is unlocked and the door opens as if you would turn the doorknob. [* directions assuming the hinges are on your right when standing outside looking at the door] QUALITY: Pretty good for ~$25. It's solid and about the same quality feel of every other doorknob I have ever used. I guess you could buy better quality with more money for an even smoother key fit/movement, but I'm totally satisfied. The doorknob is a tiny bit loose (you can rattle it a bit if you like), but for that price I don't expect it to be precisely crafted as a Swiss watch.

It was easy to install, fit perfectly and works as promised. Great deal, fast delivery - would buy again!

I was replacing bedroom door knobs with the lockable, privacy version. I bought both Master Lock TUO0305 and a competitor's which was slightly cheaper, but I only ended up using Master Lock's. I couldn't use the competitor's; it had only a fixed faceplate and strike plate. I would have had to chisel out a rectangle in the door to the correct depth, something far too difficult for me. Master Lock provided a drive-in collar as well, and once I knocked off the face plate (as shown in the detailed instructions supplied with the knobs), I could slip over and knock on the collar. Bingo! The new door latch was identical to the old one (shown in the photo). Five minutes to replace!

great quality, easy to install, (I borrowed a jig), looks good and all for a really low price.
