Could someone please advise where I can purchase a few Kwikset modernization kits...preferably in an Antique Brass finish. The package says "for use in converting mortise style locksets" and it contains two strike plates, two plates that cover the old holes, and a long narrow metal strip that fills the void left by the mortise lock.
My local Lowes store said they can only get a shiny brass finish if they were to special order it. I am looking to replace a few of them in my older house. I know this is a more expensive way of doing it, but I'm tired of the loose knobs and noisy workings of the mortise-style. One of the knobs had fallen off in the kids room recently and she was locked inside. With that said - I view these as a safety concern also.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bryan
