Gms K001KW26DA2 Keyed Alike Knob Lever Cylinder Kwikset

Product Description

The GMS K001KW26DA2 is a keyed-alike replacement cylinder designed for K2-series knob and lever locksets using the Kwikset keyway. Finished in satin chrome, this cylinder installs directly into compatible residential knob and lever hardware, allowing multiple locks to operate on the same key. Locksmiths and door hardware technicians install this cylinder when rekeying or replacing worn cylinder cores in residential entry and interior applications. It is sold as a single unit and is manufactured to OEM-style specifications for consistent fit and function.

This cylinder is suited for residential door hardware applications where a Kwikset keyway is required. The keyed-alike configuration makes it practical for multi-door installations where a single key needs to operate multiple locksets. Typical use cases include apartment unit rekeying, property management lock standardization, and new construction hardware installations. The satin chrome finish matches standard builder-grade and mid-tier residential door hardware.
