Honeywell DB981 Single Cylinder Deadbolt Antique Brass

Product Description

The HONEYWELL DB981 is a single cylinder deadbolt finished in antique brass and constructed with a steel body, designed for residential door security applications. The deadbolt features a 1-inch hardened throw bolt that resists forced entry. A key operates the bolt from the exterior while an interior turn piece provides convenient manual operation from inside. The adjustable latch is interchangeable between 2-3/8-inch and 2-3/4-inch backsets, accommodating a range of standard door preparations without additional hardware. Locksmiths, general contractors, and property maintenance professionals typically install this hardware during new construction or lock replacement work.

The DB981 is suited for residential entry doors where a Kwikset keyway is already in service or is being standardized across a property. The interchangeable backset design supports common door preparations found in residential framing. For property managers or contractors outfitting multiple units, cases of 24 units are available with 4 sets of 6 keyed-alike cylinders, simplifying key management across a building or project.
