Kwikset 980 Sgl Cyl Deadbolt in SN

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just finished installing 7 lock-sets, including 7 deadbolts, to all of our exterior doors. Chose the 980 series smart-key deadbolt, because I wanted to have the ability to occasionally re-key the locks, for an extra layer of security. Not only were they easy to install, they also operate very smoothly, and they look great. And to top it off, it took less than 10 minutes to walk around the house, and re-key six of the locks so all seven would match.

I have been using Kwikset locks for some time now (15+ years). They have been making master-keyed locks for apartments (Titan was the early name for this line) and now the Smart Lock line works great for my single family rentals. These are good because there are often more locks & styles of locks on a house and I can set them all to work with one key, how convenient. By following the simple instructions I am able to "rekey" a lock in under 1 minute, with only a new set of keys, and no tools. If you do not rush the process, you will be pleased with the results and never have to dis-assemble a lock again!
