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.
