If therse are typoical locksets, all you need are a couple of screwdrivers. The instructions are in the package with the new one. Schlage is a decent brand. Kwikset is cheap and will have you replacing them again in a few years. It's been a long time since I used Weiser, so I can't rate their product.

Excellence is its own reward!
