Juno Keyed Entry Knob featuring SmartKey® in Satin Nickel

Installing this by myself was a little awkward but totally doable. Re-keying the lock was super easy and Iwas literally done in seconds.

Kwikset came through for us because of dropping during install. The drop turned the inside of knob where holes did not line up anymore. The replacement works well with our existing keys. Bought this for our laundry room to keep young children from playing in appliances and with soap

I bought the Juno entry (740J 5 SMT) and I have them on four (4) doors in my home. I have a large hand and the Juno fits my hand comfortably. We like the antique brass finish and all are in "like new" condition. Re-keying is easy but read the directions well or you may find yourself locked out. I found out the hard way. If you pull the re-keying tool before inserting the new key - it resets the cylinder to a pin combination for which you have no key. (Do NOT close the door until you know the re-keying took).

Bought today. I consider myself handy and can do or fix anything. Installing this Juno Kwikset security knob was difficult. The outside knob must mate with the inside knob and then the two longer screws attach it together. 1. Screws are undersized in length and diameter for this job. 2. The alignment for starting to thread the screws is close to impossible on first 10 attempts. 3. Some engineer should try it. If one screw is stared the other is hard to align with the reception hole. This is frustrating and worthy of telling you. Please look into it.

I purchased a Juno Dummy knob to match existing knobs in a room. And all I have to say is that the Juno series mounting design horrible. Since the knobs are not removable, the instructions imply that a screwdriver can go straight in to engage the screw. Fat chance on that (reference my attached picture). Since it requires you to tighten the screws at an angle there is absolutely no ability to tighten the screw without camming out the screw (unless you drill a vastly oversize pilot hole. At least get rid of the philips and supply a torx or allen head screw so that an installer could use a ball head driver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 Juno knobs (1 Keyed, 1 Hall/Closet and one that connects to an exterior latch). The look and the finish matches other doorknobs in my home so I thought they would be great. However, the installation was unnecessarily difficult due to very poor design. If the screws that secure the knob to the door aren't screwed in exactly right, the knob falls off during use. It wasn't possible to use a screw driver of any size to tighten the screws after the knob was attached. It's difficult to describe the problem. The interior knob and faceplate come attached to one another as a single unit. The screws are attached to the opposite knob and pass through the latching mechanism. To install, one has to snag the screws with the faceplate and twist the knob to lock it in place. Because there is no way of knowing exactly how far to screw in the screws I had to repeat the process over and over again until I finally gave up. The doorknobs are functional but I fully expect them to fall off again. The knob on the exterior latch set is wobbly and leaks cold air. Not a happy camper.

The length of the handle is not long enough for the screwdriver to engage the phillips head screws with out strippng the heads of the screws. Sad, I have 7 more to install. Seriously considering just returning them and getting a different brand.

I have spent quite a while trying to install this doorknob. It should not be that difficult. The directions are terrible and are pretty much worthless. I now have a $20 paperweight and no doorknob. Awesome.

It was difficult to install to begin with but finally did with customer service help. Here's the problem: once you twist on the handle to catch the screws, it's impossible to actually tighten them as they are located under the handle. Now maybe someone out there makes a phillips head screw driver with an off-set handle to use on these but if they do, it would be nice it the instructions said you needed one. I can manage to open the door without the handle falling off but my son and his friends can't. I have to put it back on 2 or 3 times a day. Thank god I kept the old deadbolt on the door so I can really lock it at night. Very sad customer.

The knob directly covers the screw holes, can't even angle to screw in. Screws are weak and immediately stripped when trying to back out. Terrible design, poor quality.
