    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    On April 16th, I followed the instructions on the Kwikset website to send pictures of the door lock I'm having trouble with. My lock isn't functioning properly, and I sent Kwikset the pictures along with an explanation of the problem. I have no lock on my door and I need the issue resolved ASAP so I called Kwikset on APRIL 17TH. I explained to the agent that I already sent an email with pictures and a description of my problem per the Kwikset website instructions. She asked me to reinstall the lock that doesn't work and go through a trouble procedure. I asked her if it's the same trouble procedure that's on Kwikset's website. She described several of the steps I need to take for a replacement. I told her I already did these steps, such as a factory reset and changing the battery several times, but the lock still doesn't work. She insisted that I have to install the lock, which isn't easy to install and requires me to be home and go through the step-by-step trouble shooting procedure I already explained to her I performed several times. I repeated to her that I already attempted these steps numerous times with the same result, it doesn't work. She related she isn't going to argue with me. I told her it's a complete waste of time and it's an insane request to make me install the lock and go through the same step by step trouble shooting procedure I already have done several times because she doesn't believe me. She then hung the phone up on me. talked to

    I installed a 917 model lock on Nov 5, 2022. It worked fine for four days then would not lock. I contacted CS at Kwikset and followed their directions in an effort to correct the problem. Nothing worked so their rep said they would send me instructions for replacement by email. It is now Nov 14, 2022 and still no information from Kwikset. I have now been on hold for customer service for over three hours as I attempt to find out where the communication they promised might be. This company seem near impossible to reach.
