Customer Reviews for Baldwin Prestige Spyglass Single Cylinder Venetian Bronze Handle Entrance Door Handleset Featuring SmartKey Security

Very smooth operation. Looks fantastic and easy to rekey yourself. Expensive but you get what you pay for.

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

Baldwin makes high quality door hardware.

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.

A beautiful addition to our new front doors. Excellent quality, especially the finish that will last for years to come.

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!

Did not fit door odd hole spacing on my door

Makes my front door look very sophisticated. Works as it is designed to.

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.

Very nice. My handyman had to get creative in the existing space, but it worked and it looks beautiful.

I had to buy a 2 1/8 inch hole saw to install the new lock and also the keys from the old Baldwin Lock did not fit so I now have more keys to deal with. With that in mind it appears to be a good lock just be aware of the additional work for the install.

Easy installation and looks very nice.

Baldwin is the best, nothing comes close.

The product quality is very good. The installation instructions and process were easy to understand and efficient. I highly recommend this manufactures products.

Nice hardware. Arrived in a timely manner
