It is important to note that when you go to Lowe's, make sure you explain to them the type of door you are replacing your lock with. There are different varieties of locks for the different locations of your house.

Since I was "replacing" an existing dead bolt, my job was over in under an hour. For more information and instruction to this video, go to your nearest Lowe's hardware store and they will provide "step by step" written instructions on this "How To"
