I was in Lowe's yesterday looking at entry locksets. Lowe's has this Gatehouse Estates brand that says they are 100% solid forged brass. They are certainly heavy, very heavy. Prices are comparable to Kwikset and Schlage. I cannot find any information about this brand using Google. Anyone have any knowledge or personal experience with this brand? Thanks.

No experience, but my initial reaction would be that one day, I might need to get a duplicate key from another store, and if Gatehouse Estates uses an odd blank of some kind, another store might not have that blank. Did you read the fine print?
A google search for "gatehouse estates hardware" turns up just one retailer in the first two pages of results. Guess who?
I'd stick with Kwikset or Schlage.
Get a brass finish lockset with the new plating process that is guarnteed for life not to tarnish.

Their design should be outlawed. You are going to need to use the "limited lifetime warranty" if you are still alive.
Hey, upsetengineer. Do you think Greg Kroll has been locked in his house, unable to flee, for the *EIGHT YEARS* since he made that post?
