Kwikset 400V 3 CP Security Valiant Entry Knob, Polished Brass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have installed a lot of locks in my day, and have had many problems with Kwikset products. Recently I got this keyed entry from a friend who had it left over, and I figured it was good enough for a closet I wanted to be able to lock. Once again I learned my lesson about Kwikset--With the lock knob (inside the closet) fully turned, you could still open the door by just jiggling the outside knob back and forth for about 30 seconds until it unlocked itself. No keys necessary! This took the cake; usually Kwiksets are just balky and don't work smoothly. Pay $5 or $10 more and get a Schlage. They aren't as good as they used to be, but at least they work.

Product Description:
The Valiant entry ball knob features a classic look that blends well with Colonial home styles. Finished in mirror-like polished brass, the knob offers warmth to any room. The ball knob top features a slightly flattened design that feels good in the palm. The tip is cut off abruptly by a lengthy shank for plenty of finger clearance and fast opening and shutting operations. The knob top turns smoothly for easy opening, while the knob rose's sharp edge sets off the classic knob.
The Valiant's outside knob unlocks with the included emergency key. For simple installation, the knob is adjustable for 2-3/8- to 2-3/4-inch backsets. The Kwikset 6-way adjustable latch that comes with this knob fits square-corner, round-corner or drive-in applications, and the latch has a 1/2-inch throw so that the door stays closed. Installation on standard doors is easy with this unit; a Phillips screwdriver is all you need. The purchase is backed by a lifetime mechanical and 5-year finish warranty, ensuring lasting function and exceptional beauty. --Brian D. Olson
