Kwikset Instructions

Kwikset manufactures a variety of doorknobs and deadbolt locks. These locksets come in many different finishes and styles. Often the most difficult part of installing a new doorknob is choosing the design you like best. This is because installing new Kwikset hardware is a fast process that should take less than an hour to complete. If you are installing a lockset in a new door it may take longer because you have to first drill the necessary holes in the door.
