Kwikset 97200-780 Lido Hall/Closet Door Lever, Polished Brass

Well made.

Perfect match for our Lido polished brass handles. Matches the older ones exactly.

Nice quality. They feel heavy and secure. Good looking too!. I didnt install them my handyman did, so I cant speak to the ease of installation.

A step above the cheaper handle assemblies I have looked at, and easier to install with the removable handle.

=== MECHANICAL === I Purchased the Lido Satin Nickle keyed entry to replace the exact model and finish. The original was in use for years and began to wear mechanically from constant daily use. I have another installed on a different door that is still mechanically sound. Overall the quality is good. === SMART KEY === With the Smart Key technology you can: • Add or replace locks without having to pay to rekey any locks. • Temporarily rekey a lock. For example if a contractor needs access to your home you can rekey a lock using any compatible Kwikset key, give it to the contractor and rekey back to your normal key when the job is done. The Kwikset lock comes with two keys or you can get random cut Kwikset keys on Amazon or wherever. • Rekey all locks yourself fast if your keys are compromised. For example your driver license with your address and your keys are stolen together. === STYLE AND FINISH === As with the Lido I’m replacing I have the Lido style throughout the house for bath, bedroom and closets. The finish is still as good as new including the lock on a security screen door that get its fair share of direct sunlight. === LIDO SATIN NICKLE AVAILABILITY === As of this review date: • The Satin Nickle keyed entry is available on Amazon. • Home Depot list the single Lido Satin Nickle keyed entry (without the deadbolt set) as discontinued. • Lowes lists the keyed single entry Satin Nickle as available for about $4.00 more than Amazon. • The Kwikset website shows the keyed entry Satin Nickle as available and NOT discontinued.

Needed to get some locks for a bedroom, and suddenly realized the possibilities available when being able to change the key needed at any time. Simply fantastic. Now my guests will never know which key is needed to get, finding out the original set of keys doesnt even work with it.

This has got to be one of the coolest products I have tried in a while. I re-keyed in less than a minute. I expected to take it to home depot and let them do it. But no...I could do it at home! This is awesome!!

Very happy with this. It has a good solid feel and looks nice on a white door. Be careful of the installation instructions, they can be a little confusing. I almost damaged the lock trying to get the 2 halves screwed together. They were not fitting together where I could get the screws in the right way. Reread the instructions & take a time-out to think about what is not working the way the instructions say they should.

Entry Door.

As I age, the of levers rather than knobs not only looks better, but is more functional. Kwikset also stands behind their product so if there is any tarnish of the finish, they replace them forever. I have also been able to use lever on one side and round knob on the other in applications such as a screen security door where a lever might not be compatible with entry locks.
