The lock has the ability to rekey. This is a good feature however it is on the outside, so anyone with the right tool and key, can change the key and enter the home. Beautiful lock. I would have rated it higher, except for the rekey feature

Hello Tony,
SmartKey security is an added feature that allows only someone with the current working key to re-key the lock cylinder. Any person that walks up to the lock and inserts the SmartKey learn tool and uses a random key will not be able to re-key the lock nor unlock the door. In addition, SmartKey Security protects against advanced break-in techniques, like picking and bumping. If you have any further questions or concerns, our Support Team is happy to assist you at 1-800-566-1986.
Thank you,

I installed a new MP Solana 1-Lite pre-hung fiberglass door (love the door!) and chose this for the hardware. The door is pre-drilled for 5-1/2" center-to-center deadlock/handle holes and this fixture fits perfectly. My only adjustment was for the deadlock strike plate, which is wider & taller than the pre-cut hole in the door. A chisel works fine on fiberglass and took 10 minutes. I'm pleased with the look.

Bought this product to replace a different entry set that was double the price from a boutique manufacturer and this is by far superior! So impressed with the ease of install and the smooth function of it, not to mention it looks beautiful!

Sleek
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the look of this dark door handle. My keys scratch it which is the only downfall. The installation was easy following the instructions. The handle works smoothly and bring a new look to my entrance. Looks more professional.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really liking my new door handleset.. Installation was super easy no issues! The design is sleek and not bulky and looks really nice. I love the security of it compared to my normal door handles. It looks so much better, and adds character and don't look old fashioned. Overall I am very pleased and now will be purchasing a few more for the rest of my house. Definitely recommend!

      Superb Quality!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great door handle set! Upon opening the package, I immediately could tell this was a high quality, well made door handle. The matte black finish looks great and seems to be very durable. I love the slim modern design also! The SmartKey is also another great feature allowing you to re-key your lock yourself very easily and quickly. I would highly recommend this handle!

        Awesome product.
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Baldwin Spyglass Single Cylinder Front Door Handleset in matte black finish looks wonderful on our door. Made with Microban which provides nonstop antimicrobial protection. Leaving the surface 99.9% cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Made with smartkey security. Bump proof and pick resistance. You're able to key all your Prestige series and Smartkey locks with the same one key convenience. Universal lever design for both left and right handed doors. Very simple to install. And very stylish. I would definitely recommend Baldwin Spyglass Single Cylinder Front Door Handleset.

          Updates the Look of our Door
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation of the Baldwin Prestige Series Spyglass lever Entrance in the Matte Black finish was as easy as following the well written directions. We were looking to up date the look of our front door and also get rid of the round door knob and replace it with a lever handle to allow easier opening and closing the door with our hands full. You do need a key to lock the door when you leave the house on the outside, this will take a little to get used to but not a big issue. Having the Microban Antimicrobial protection was not something I appreciated before Covid, but I do now!

            Love this
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is absolutely the best door handle. Looks very sleek and sophisticated. Works on either the front door our the back door. Makes me feel like I'm secured. I'll be getting another one for my back door. It's very updated. I highly recommend this.

              So elegant
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the fanciest door knob I've seen I love it. It is so elegant and nice. We haven't had many visitors due to covid but the company we have had over have complimented our new door knob so much and love it just as much. Was easy to install.

                High class look
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This door knob is so classy looking. I love how it makes my door look. I also really like the security of no one breaking into my house. This door knob will last a lot longer than normal knobs. I do want to get another one for our back door.

                      They are ok
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put them in my house and honestly for the price no!! They are not the best quality. I have seen better. They look great but I’m not fond of the price. I feel they don’t deserve to be at that price. Just my personal opinion.

                          I love the look of it as it was exactly what I had in mind. With arthritis in my hand I cannot turn a handle or use my thumb. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has hand problems. I had searched high and low for one with this look and find out it seems only Baldwin makes it. Now for the bad news, my son stopped by to install this on my door. Was unable to do so. Parts not marked, etc. The next day I called a locksmith to do this. He found also that there were screws missing and nothing marked. Luckily they were for the inside and behind the plate. He was able to install it without those screws. But imagine if he were missing parts that were really essential to the job. I would have had to return the one I got for another one. Then I would have had a $65 trip fee for this trip and then another fee when he came back again. And what if the replacement also had some missing screws? This could get very costly to have a tech to keep coming back until I had a complete set. I have read other reviews where customers report missing screws. I think this needs to be investigated and find out why. Maybe have a final inspection before sending this out. If not for this problem I would have given this the highest ratings.
