might be alright for an individuals home
We bought 60 of these for our apartment complex in 2005 and the latch strike bolts do not hold up.
I have replaced that part three times already and the outside handles break as well from time to time then you have to buy the whole lock and they are not cheap.
I have mine installed with 2 3/4" backset bolts and twice now when ordering new locks to replace those that break I have been sent 2 3/8 " bolts and then it is a big hassle getting the right bolts........This time it took almost a month to get it all straightened up
These locks are not worth the hassle.

These handlesets are difficult to install. I have installed door knobs all the time and these were not easy to install. We had to buy the handlesets for our foster home and took 2 days to get both of them installed.

These locks are prone to failure
Handle sets is a good company to deal with ......It is a failure to provide a good product that makes Kwikset very lacking when it comes to these locks.
The main body of the lock holds up fairly well but the latch bolts wear our very quickly and Kwikset does not offer a better bolt to replace it with.
I have 60 of these locks installed at an apartment complex and they give me constant trouble......I have had to buy numerous latch bolts for each of the locks over the short period of time that the locks have been in place.

Hi
Is it possible to disconnect deadbolt and lever in this interconnect system ?
I have it.The other day I locked myself out. A locksmith came passed a cable under my door and open it in 2 seconds. I'll feel safer if lever and deadbolt could be dis
Asked by: Pat 1515
Hello Pat 1515,
Thank you for your interest in Kwikset model # 506KNL-26D-SMT. This is an inter connect unit meaning that the interior lever and deadbolt are connected together. Both units are not able to be separated. It is suggested to purchase a separate deadbolt and lever if the interconnect unit is not your desired product.
