It installed easily and works much better than the Schlage that broke after five years. This one is solid, functions well (so far), and looks great. If it holds up, it will be the best value for the dollar that I’ve spent in a long time. Time will tell! Review: A Solid Non-Networked Keyless Entry System - This is the commercial classed unit from Kwikset, there is a residential version 917. They are nearly identical except for, I believe, the decorative design and the BHMA certifications. The residential is Grade 2, the commercial is Grade 3. What that actually means, I have no idea. I honestly purchased the 955 instead of 917 because it was, at the time, 30 dollars cheaper. I installed this on the door between my garage and laundry room replacing a round knob by EZ-Set (a discount sub-brand of Kwikset made in Taiwan that uses Kwikset KW1 keys- this is important,) The mechanism goes in easily. Programming the unit is straightforward and the lever handle makes life easier for aging hands. The Kwikset mechanism includes Emergency Egress- meaning you can open the door from the inside if it locked or unlocked. This is true of the 955 commercial model and the 917 residential version. Both versions also require you to keep the key engaged to open the door. You can't 'unlock' the door, then remove your key then open. You unlock, keep the key turned and open at the same time. If you remove your key, the door re-locks. Awkward things to take note of: 1. No matter how hard you try, this unit will end up installed slightly tilted if you tighten the bolts properly. 2. When putting the exterior door handle on (the one with the key hole) you must insert the key and keep the tumblers unlocked to access the set screw. It took me nearly 10 minutes to figure that out. 3. The desertcart stock is probably not too fresh. The 9 volt battery included in my package was completely dead on arrival. I installed a new Energizer 9 volt and it works fine. Note, the description on the desertcart website says it uses AA batteries, that is incorrect. There is a single 9 volt on the non-keypad side of the lock under a cover that slides up. Now, the reason making note of the EZ-Set lock being replaced. Kwikset has this neat tech called "SmartKey" which will let you rekey your locks without having to pay a locksmith. In the instructions, they have you put the whole thing together then go back and take the exterior handle off to perform the re-key. You don't have to- you can re-key before assembling at the start. But here's the thing, your 'master' key must use Kwikset KW1 type keys. And in my case, our house keys (our entire house uses the same key on all doors) were EZ-Set, a sub-brand of Kwikset and uses... KW1 keys. So I happily re-keyed the new 955 lock to my existing house key. We've been using the new handle since the day after Christmas 2023 (it was a gift) and now look around the house thinking about replacing all of the old, round knobs with levers and will probably put another of this model on at least one exterior door. ## Features - Tested to 500,000 Cycles.Control Method:Remote - This lever is a BHMA Commercial Grade 2 certified; And BHMA certified AAA, highest residential security, durability and finish, Reversible lever to fit right-hand and left-hand doors. - Property managers have 3 different options for locking modes that can fit different applications including auto lock code or key required for entry each time, passage deadbolt stays unlocked, and disable passage mode; Auto locks every time and a key or user code is required for entry. - Customize up to 30 unique user codes for controlled access perfect for small businesses, utility rooms, public restrooms, interior garage doors, storage closets, and vacation rentals. - Our door lock comes with a 3 year electronics and lifetime mechanical and finish.

I need less then or equal to 4 inches or it interferes with my deadbolt.** A: You can't use this with standard deadbolt spacing. I have it on my garage door with no deadbolt. Kwikset 913 is the deadbolt version of this that I got for my front door.

The screw hole always has to be facing to the ground. Otherwise you will not be able to tighten the outside lever which also requires you turn the key 1/4 clockwise. **Q: If the lock is activated, will the interior handle turn? My pet opens doors with lever handles.** A: Ha, yes the interior handle will turn to unlock the door as intended. If your pet is able to open doors, you'll need to find a smart lock with a different type/style of handle. **Q: When the door is locked is the inside handle stationary? We would like to keep children in our house.** A: No. This is a fire hazard and is illegal for the same reason as double cylinder deadbolts. I got a security chain and put it at the top of the door where my kids can't reach. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value! *by M***L on May 11, 2026* So far I’m very pleased with this lock.
