Kwikset is crapset. I've been installing locks and hardware for around 30 years. I always had a soft place for Kwikset as one might prefer a Chevy over a Ford. Maybe it was because Kwikset was one of my father's accounts at his ad agency.

I've noticed how security hardware has gotten cheaper and cheaper over the years. But the last round of "product improvement" has me on the trail looking for better stuff. I don't mean something like Baldwin, which IS good stuff, but something unique and advanced. The junk sold today is very poorly made.

I looked into Yale, but I didn't get a buzz.

Anyway, sloppy locks are bad news:
