Seems like a great price at $58. The ones I've been seeing are much more expensive.

The inside is a lever handle.

Kwikset handleset $58 at Amazon

Yes, it is a good price. However, I replaced all of the Amerock handlesets in our 30 year old home three years ago with Kwikset knobsets and locks. Three of them have already broken (the strike mechanisim broke on all three. The exterior finish has worn, or corroded on all of the exposed knobs and handles.
I am replacing all of the doors in the home with oak, six paneled doors and Schlage hardware and knobsets. Yes, I know the Schlage product is four times more expensive, but I bet it lasts a lot longer than the Kwikset product did.

This better be good. I bought the set at Menards for $130 but returned it when Amazon had it for $65 - $58 is a steal. Seems like a quality lockset. Here's my little gloat - the lockset applied to the entrance door I just recently completed:
