Customer Reviews for Kwikset Downtown Low Profile Iron Black Square Single Cylinder Contemporary Deadbolt featuring SmartKey Security

Very disappointed this color doesn’t match any of our other Kwikset satin brass knobs! Now we have to uninstall and return such a pain

I wasted three hours trying to connect the interior and exterior sides using the two 2 1/8-inch-long machine screws that came in the box. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't connecting. Finally, I realized that the machine screws provided were about 1/2 inch too short. Yet, my door is standard thickness. Using the machine screws from my old deadbolt, I quickly finished the job. Kwikset and Home Depot need to rectify this on all the other boxes immediately.

Exceptional, it was exactly what I was looking for for my front door. Now all I need now it is find & replace my door frame.

Really elevated the look of my doors. The black finish is smooth. It could be easier to pull down, it requires more force than schlage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about this deadbolt has been thought through. The installation was under 15 minutes if you are replacing an old deadbolt. The low profile looks great and secure. I love the smart key technology because I’m using it on a side garage and like to change it often so I know who is coming in and out of my house. Following the directions included makes the rekeying simple and quick. Best of all it is secure and heavy duty. You won’t be disappointed in this deadbolt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second experience with Kwikset lock products & I'm very happy! The product is called the downtown deadbolt. I got this item to give to a close friend to lock the door of her shed. Lately, a bunch of things have come up missing so it was time for better security. This is a one sided key lock deadbolt with re key technology. It was very, very easy to install! It is super nice, have a low profile on the door & is very strong & secure! There is an included tool & instructions to rekey this lock. It seems to be a simple process in case the key(s) become lost, which is awesome! No more having to change the entire lock system! We haven't needed to try that & hopefully never will, but it's a great feature to have! This deadbolt as I said is very strong. It doesn't budge, seems like it would be kick proof & pick proof! I will continue to support Kwikset. They're top notch in style, quality, ease of use & safety/security in my opinion!

I do recommend this Kwikset Downtown Deadbolt lock and am very happy with how it looks and performs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Easy Installation took about 15 minutes following the enclosed instructions. It works as advertised. When we replaced a regular locking door knob with the Kwikset we found that we will need to add a door handle either above or below the Kwikset lock. The key works for pulling the door shut: However, I prefer a door handle or door knob on the side of the door with the key.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of this is very heavy duty and heavy, so it does feel like it could hold a lot of damage if there was ever a break in. The installation was super easy and the instructions were easy to read/follow. It comes with two sets of keys which is always nice in case you lose one or you need to give someone else another key. Overall, I’m very impressed and happy with this deadbolt!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brings smart to a whole new level and you dont even need any form of technology! Haha! Anywho! Installing this deadbolt was a breeze! If you have never installed any form of doorknobs, deadbolts, etc., the instructions will spell everything out for you! It does come with a drill template, if needed! The deadbolt comes with keys, BUT, you have the nifty smart key that allows you to re-key the deadbolt to match your already house key! This also comes with easy to follow instructions, but I will warn you, theres a lot of twist-turn/back and forth to it, so you will need a little patience! The finish is wonderful, it can easily match any style house! This could also be perfect for a shed door, if you arent wanting to install it on your house! Set comes with everything you need for an easy install, besides a drill and drill bits!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed Kwiksets' Downtown Deadbolt with Keyed One Side on the garage door that leads into the house. It used to have a single dummy knob but now I feel safer that the door can be bolted shut. A plus is that I have a single key for my front door and this deadbolt, thanks to the smart key feature that came with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kwikset deadbolt easy installation. Fancy ups a door. Works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kwikset single cylinder deadbolt was super easy for me to install. I love how I only needed one tool to get it installed. Plus it fit my current door. All of my locks all have one key making it easy to get in and out of any of the doors, especially for my children. I also love how secure it is. Plus it looks fantastic! I definitely recommend!

The set is definitely beautiful. It was very easy to install and even easier to rekey. For the rekey ease alone I will continue to but kwikset products from now on. The set was also very heavy which was nice and i expected this set to be kinda flimsy. It definitely is not. The only reason for the 4 stars rather than the five is I can already tell the flat black color will not hold up well to key scratches. I dont really care as it is a door lock but for those that do that would be the only negative. Its solid, looks very nice and modern but still fits in with my mcm home, easy to install and easy to rekey.

Easy to install & set keys to match. Ordered 2 sets of deadbolts and coordinating handles that are all in sync.

We Put these in our home & now also in our rental house. They’re Heavy duty & attractive looking.

This lock is fantastic! Smooth mechanism, sleek modern look! Easy to install. Love it so much I may update my other doors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kwikset Deadbolt is a great design. The bolt is sturdy and the screws are large to keep door secure. I like the simplicity of the look and function. It was simple to install, however, you will require a drill. Overall great product.

Lock is pretty, but challenging to get it straight -would be great if it came with a little level.

We installed it and it was broken and would not lock or allow key use so I returned it.

Great lock. Looks good. Love the quick rekeying option!

It has different measures than a standard deadbolt

Paired it with Kwikset Halifax lock and it made a perfect low profile lock set. I did not like the roundness of the key hole of the Halifax deadbolt lock. Easy to install and looks nice. Warning to the OC in everyone, Square locks have to be installed to line up more then round locks.

I love this lever and deadbolt set. Looks very classy and the Smart feature enabled me to rekey on my own with ease. Highly recommend!
