What if we reduce the price limit to $36? What if we are replacing the locks on one door and wish to be compatible with existing KW1 keys? Old timers will rend their cloths to hear me say this, but the $22 Defiant is a better lock than the $36 Kwikset. Defiant door locks generally receive good reviews, averaging around four out of five stars from Home Depot customers. There are, however, some concerns over the quality of the locks.
