Bottom line: As others have said, for $75 (or whatever Amazon is selling it for on any given day) it's a great value.

Installation is a snap. All you need is a screwdriver and five to ten minuets of spare time. In broad strokes, you remove the two screws that are keeping the current pair of knobs in place,put this lockset on in their place, and you're in business. The outside handle attaches through the door to a steel faceplate with four screws, as opposed the the normal two that hold on a standard knob set. That make the "feel" extra sturdy. You can probably use the existing latch, the thingie that comes out the edge of the door and one is included with this lock just in case. You also get a full set of screws and a replacement striker plate even though you can get by with what's already on your door.

There is a small electric cable you need to feed through the door to the inner lock. Once you get it though it snaps into a connector on the inner side. To replace the four (included) AAA batteries you need to remove one screw that holds the inner handle cover and that gets you to the batter case. When it's all together it looks durable and well made. Except for the numbers on the keypad, all exposed surfaces are metal.

You also get two master keys. I like that they are "real" keys instead of those simple ones designed for suitcase locks. I also liked that both keys have a magnets attached so you can hide them out of sight by sticking them to a convenient piece of metal (like the side of a furnace or water pipe).
