By far the best video on how to install a kiwi set. Not even a close second here; well done!

[@mmmemgggg617]

I’m with you. The upside down down knob would drive me nuts. Great video as always.

I just learnt how to change the 4 locks in the house I’ll be closing on in a few days. Thanks so much for the tutorial, you have saved this older woman quite a bit of money. 💕

[@jennifermartinus4929]

Wow, I just learned something new. Thanks Matt. 🤩

Excellent video. Kwikset should pay you!!

Who said I need my man to do this?! Thank you so much! Bookmarking!

@@ShadowsandCityLightsIt’s traditionally a job men have done, while women were relegated to the home. Things are different now and women are learning a lot of skills to do things ourselves. I have learnt and done ALL sorts of home improvements, including tiling walls/floors, hardwood, parket and laminate floors, finishing carpentry, drywall/mudding/taping, insulation, cabinetry, plumbing, wall framing, mouldings, cabinet installation, window installs (builder’s, not replacement ones), wallpaper & paint effects, counters…. you name it, I can use any hand and power tool and I don’t even have a single handyman in my family.

This definitely helped clarify some things that the instructions left out, thanks!

[@arthendrickson4860]

7:42 You might explain why you drilled part way, extracted the drill bit and then drilled the hole deeper (help clear the debris from the hole and drill bit to make further drilling easier).

Super helpful! Thanks!

Good Job👍👍👍

Great step by step video thank you

Excellent video!!! Question: I have a hollow door that opens to the garage. The fiber wood is destroyed, and I have nothing to screw the door locking plate into? How can I resolve this? Thank you in advance. David

[@DoBeLove]

Thank you so much, this was very helpful.

[@CHEECHMUN]

The smart key is great! I confused, the new blank key looks cut already. If I have an extra key that fits, can I use the smart key feature? Thank you!

[@quabledistocficklepo3597]

Thanks for that. I've always done very well on IQ tests, but not so well on mechanical things like this, This video enabled me to install the dead bolt lock in one day. There were just too many parts in the kit, and the instructions were not good enough for me.

[@wreckim]

Fixers have a bad reputation in movies....just watch The Fixer 2 ...like the second terminator...this is the good one. Thanks man.

Thanks for the video! How to remove existing deadbolt and a door handle with no screws; and avoiding scratching the paint? ~ Thanks ~

Thanks so good for women too

[@jeffreywin584]

Great video. Thank you!

[@libsargent452]

I have a new quick set lever style door knob with dead bolt that was recently installed. I noticed yesterday that dead bolt handle inside has come off. I don’t see any set screws to tighten this. How do I tighten the interior deadbolt handle so it doesn’t continue to come off with no set screw.

[@pm007kw]

Thank you!

[@cantgetright742]

I like to flip the latch around. Keeps people from jimmying the door. With it the regular way you don’t need a key

[@baabaici]

Thank you for saying that because I was wondering if I put my latch in the wrong way. I put my latch the way that you said.

[@cantgetright742]

@@baabaici I’d say as long as your door still works. Technically my way is backwards but it serves its purpose

[@baabaici]

Ok, thank you. Also, thank you for your video it is very helpful

[@CHEECHMUN]

I tried to rekey my new Kwikset set. The deadbolt worked but the regular doorknob did not. Now the key that came with it, no longer works. How do I fix this? Thanks.

[@billcoomber4642]

Their website has videos to correct the mis-keying issues. You never really "lose" a lockset...

[@mariagatchalian3483]

My key jam inside the door knob can't remove it what will I do

[@johns8594]

Why does one key face up and the other down? I have same problem

[@kmart0017]

There are other videos showing how to flip the Kwikset key hole, with and without a special tool.

[@mariagatchalian3483]

How about if a key was stock Inside how can I remove it

[@desoc1111]

Do you need to re-key it, or can you just use the new key that's provided? I"m confused about that.

[@thefixerhomerepair2]

You can just use that key if you want. The rekey option is to match a different existing door if you want 1 key for both. Hope this helps!

[@desoc1111]

Definitely helps, thank you!:)@@thefixerhomerepair2

[@teresamoore4141]

Nice

[@fuzzierazz]

There is a kwikset video that explains how to install the door knob with the lock in the proper position.

[@jsaysyay]

huh, i wonder how that even works, like i'm assuming that smart key presses something to allow the lock to form the the new key, but still, very interesting

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

I bought this kit and tried to install it tonight. Problem is my door has round holes and needs a "drive-in" latch with a round collar. The door knob came with one, however the deadbolt did not. This is an oversight as these come in a pack together. So now I am without a deadbolt. Kwikset does make round collar latches for this lock, but they are $22 a piece. That's half the price of the entire kit. I am pissed.

[@sherirodriguez7606]

You can’t use the one from your old set?

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

@@sherirodriguez7606 No. I called Kwikset and they sent me one for free, so i am happy. I guess I need to revise my original post.

[@wondersvideo8584]

this knob lock from the stone age

[@_NotDownWithOPP_]

Random question from a cautious single mother: if someone carried around a smartkey tool, could they re-key anyone’s lock from the outside? Do all smartkey tools work with all Kwikset Smartkey locks?

[@thefixerhomerepair2]

Not unless they have the original key

[@CyberClu]

I stupidly took off the screws, because I was so used to lining them up and installing them the regular way. That's why the damn interior knob keeps falling off, there's some kind of special latching device where you now have to turn and click. Why the hell did they do that?

[@etraeger]

No such thing as an "easy" install. Or should I say REMOVAL before new install? 😅
