You can easily fix a lose Kwikset door handle by taking the appropriate screwdriver and tightening the screws that attach the door handle to the door frame.
Contact Kwikset or call a locksmith. Maybe the former owner or real estate agent knows how to do it?
They make house keys for Schlage and Kwikset locks. If your home has one of those two brands of locks (or one of the hundreds of private-branded locks that use Kwikset-patterned keys) you can get spare keys there.
In my personal opinion as a locksmith, Schlage is a better lock. The common residential locks have 5 spaces, although some have 6. Both manufactures have each. Schlage has tighter tolerances between the cylinder and plug, and 10 depths as opposed to Kwikset with 6.
An electronic door lock from Kwikset may cost from $90 approximately, but the price is dependant on ones zip code and location within the United States of America. There are a number of stockists, such as Lowes, where one may view the looks and obtain an accurate price within their area.
There are 2 screws on the interior part of the doorknob they should be hand tight with a screwdriver and that should do it.
