Overview
BESTTEN's DK1-ET-SN is a keyed entry knob with a stainless steel ball handle and brass locking mechanism, rated for 250,000 open-close cycles and reversible for either door swing.
It's positioned for both interior and exterior doors at a lower price than name-brand hardware, with a 3-bar lock design and an anti-collision cylinder. Buyers who bought two expecting one key for both doors should know that separately purchased locks come keyed differently.
- Anti-collision cylinder for added security
- Universal backset of 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches
- Fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick
- 3 keys included per set
Who it's for
Fits anyone replacing a basic keyed knob on a front, side, or interior door on a budget. Not the right pick if you need several doors sharing one key without buying them together as a keyed-alike set.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers generally praised the quick install, at around 10 to 15 minutes, and said the metal handle and lock body feel more solid than the price implies, with a reversible design and pre-installed machine screws that just need removing before mounting. The complaints center on the small through-bolts, which some found short or hard to seat, a loud pop when the lock engages, and one buyer who got accidentally locked out despite no one being on the other side.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless steel handle with reinforced steel structure

- Includes 3 keys per set
- Tested to 250,000 open-close cycles
- Small through-bolts can be tricky to seat

Performance notes
The latch adjusts between a 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, with a reversible ball handle for left or right hand doors. Reviewers typically finish the install in 10 to 15 minutes with a screwdriver, though a few needed extra effort seating the small through-bolts that hold the interior side in place.
