Matt,
Check your Yellow Pages for Lock smiths. I had an interesting discussion
about this the other day with my neighbor who is a lock smith. I was talking
about how cheap the Quik Set door knobs are. The mechanism is not 1/2
plastic. They don't last 7 yrs. He agreeded, and said that they sell
better ones, but at one hell-of-a lot higher price.
