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.

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.
