Amazon.com Product Description

Save money and get six identical keys for the front door and back with this knob/deadbolt 2-pack from Kwikset. The traditional design of the Tylo entry tulip knob is at home with any décor and lends a graceful finish to any door style. The tulip knob top features a flat face for added dimension. The rounded tulip design is proportioned to fit comfortably in the palm. The antique brass finish offers a crisp, clean look to brighten up the room, porch, or stoop. The knob top turns smoothly for easy opening, while the knob rose's smooth edge softens up the look for an understated appearance.

This 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. The deadbolt features a high-security, 5-pin cylinder and a 1-inch throw with a hardened steel insert to prevent saw break-ins and is operated by a key on the outside and turn-piece on the inside of the door for easy locking. Installation on standard doors is easy with this unit; a Phillips screwdriver is all you need. The purchase is backed by a manufacturer lifetime mechanical and 5-year finish warranty, ensuring lasting function and exceptional beauty. --Brian D. Olson

2.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive advertising!!, March 10, 2006

First, seller advertises that this is Kwikset MAXIMUM Security Brand. It is not. It is Kwikset Security (at least Kwikset Security was the brand I received.) There is a big difference because you can buy Kwikset Security for less at Lowes or Home Depot and you don't have to wait a week for your combo pack. Second, the product description says "Meets ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Security with a 10 year Mechanical and 5 year Finish Warranty." However, the package clearly indicates only Grade 3. Another big difference. These are the differences I have found so far. In consequence, Kwikset is a great brand, but beware that you are not buying the better Kwikset Maximum Security brand. You are buying the lesser brand of Kwikset Security.

3.0 out of 5 stars No longer comes with 6 Keys, August 5, 2009

This review is from: Kwikset 242T 5 CP Tylo Entry Knob and Single Cylinder Deadbolt Combo Pack, Antique Brass (Tools & Home Improvement)

We are in investment property, so we order these keys often. The last order's packaging looked different and certainly did not have "Security" on the packaging. It also had only 4 keys, so I called Kwikset itself to make sure that I was not sent the wrong product. Kwikset told me first, they change packaging often and to tell for sure if it correct is the code above the barcode (if it was not changed that is) will have the correct code as above.

Second, Kwikset told me they are no longer providing 6 keys with these sets. So unless you get one of the earlier packaging still out there, there is a 90% chance you will receive only 4 keys, unlike what the description above states.

Otherwise, these keys work well.
