Product Information
Full details
The Kwikset Juno Entry Knob in Bronze is designed for homeowners seeking reliable security and easy re-keying for exterior doors. Its primary benefit is the SmartKey Security technology, allowing you to re-key the lock yourself in seconds, a significant advantage for managing access or after a move. A potential caveat is its Grade 2 ANSI/BHMA certification, which offers good security but may not be the highest grade available for all applications. This lockset provides essential security for entry points and features an adjustable latch for straightforward installation.

FAQs
What does ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 mean?
ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification indicates that the lock has passed rigorous testing for durability and security, suitable for residential use. It signifies a good balance between security and cost.
How do I re-key the Kwikset Juno lock?
You will need the SmartKey Security tool. Insert the working key, insert the tool to remove the cylinder core, insert the new key, and then reinsert the core. Refer to the SmartKey re-keying instructions for detailed steps.
Can this lock be used on an exterior door?
Yes, the Kwikset Juno Entry Knob is specifically designed for use on exterior doors where keyed entry and security are needed.
What is the difference between this entry knob and a deadbolt?
An entry knob typically provides basic security and is operated by a key and thumb turn. A deadbolt offers higher security and is usually operated by a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other, often used in conjunction with an entry knob.
Does the bronze finish require special maintenance?
The bronze finish should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For best results, polish gently with a dry, soft cloth after cleaning.
What if I lose the SmartKey tool?
Kwikset sells replacement SmartKey tools. You can typically find them on the Kwikset website or through authorized retailers.
Can this lock be used for commercial applications?
While ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 is a good standard, commercial applications often require higher security grades (like Grade 1). This lock is primarily designed and certified for residential use.
Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to turn or sticks.
Ensure the latch is aligned correctly with the strike plate. Check that the door is not warped or sagging. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require lubrication with graphite powder.
Key will not insert or turn in the lock.
Verify you are using the correct key for the current lock configuration. If recently re-keyed, ensure the SmartKey tool was used correctly. Check for debris inside the keyway.
Lock does not engage properly with the strike plate.
Adjust the position of the strike plate on the door jamb or ensure the latch is properly seated in the door edge. The adjustable latch may need to be repositioned.
Screws for interior/exterior knobs are difficult to align.
Ensure the latch mechanism is fully engaged with the knob spindle. Loosen screws slightly on the interior assembly to allow for adjustment before tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has standard pre-drilled holes for a lockset. The Juno knob fits doors with 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thickness.
- Install the Latch: Select the correct backset (2-3/8" or 2-3/4") for your door and install the adjustable latch through the edge of the door.
- Mount the Exterior Assembly: Insert the exterior knob through the door, ensuring the tailpiece goes through the latch mechanism.
- Mount the Interior Assembly: Attach the interior knob to the exterior assembly, aligning screw holes and securing with the provided screws.
- Install the Strike Plate: Attach the strike plate to the door jamb.
- Test the Lock: Ensure the knob turns freely and the deadbolt (if applicable to the specific configuration, though this is an entry knob) extends and retracts smoothly.
Compatibility:
- Designed for standard interior and exterior doors.
- Fits doors with standard 2-1/8" cross bore and 1" edge bore.
- Adjustable latch fits 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backsets.
- Compatible with Kwikset's SmartKey Security re-keying system.
Care:
- Clean the bronze finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
- Periodically check that screws are tight and the mechanism operates smoothly. A small amount of graphite lubricant can be used on the key cylinder if needed.
