I for one have increased my security to the front door with a TWO POINT DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM to the front door to increase security.
Most of the homes have Belleview kwikset single point (dead Bolt only) locking systems.
I choose to replace mine with a TWO POINT Kwikset Montara that has locking dead bolt and locking handset.
It covers the old Belleview lockset perfectly and i left the existing deadbolt in place and re-keyed the handset to my key type.
It was worth the 120.00 and for a additional 60 dollars i got the lever system 978.
here are the part numbers if anyone is interested.
These are for satin nickel;
Satin Nickel finish; Montara lockset with Juno Knob
Model #; 553mnhxj15 smt cp two point lockset
Handle Lido;
Model # 978 ll rh 15

Did you re-inforce door jam along with the new lock set. I've been giving some thouht to adding that strip of steel to our front door.
