As an avid DIYer, I was looking for a secure and modern lock set to upgrade my front door and this product more than met my expectations.

The San Clemente handleset has a slim square low profile deadbolt and matching handle set with a modern interior lever. This is the perfect solution if you re looking for a sleek, contemporary look that also offers superior security. The Halifax interior lever is reversible, fits both right and left handed doors and is adjustable throughbolt design which slides vertically and horizontally to ensure a straight handleset on your door.

In terms of security, the San Clemente handleset is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified, the highest residential security rating.
