Kwikset 258RCT-26S.STRKP Deadbolt Smartkey Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 258RCT-26S.STRKP is a single cylinder deadbolt featuring SmartKey Security technology for residential door applications. This low-profile rectangular contemporary deadbolt ships with a 6AL latch and a full strike pack that includes square corner, round corner, and 5303 round corner full lip strike plates, covering the most common door frame prep scenarios. At 1.7 pounds, the unit is solid without being unwieldy during installation. The Bright Chrome (26S) finish suits both new installs and replacement work on standard residential entry doors. Locksmiths, door hardware installers, and general contractors are the primary trades handling this hardware.

This deadbolt is designed for residential exterior door applications where single cylinder operation is required. The contemporary low-profile rectangular faceplate fits standard door preparations. The included strike pack removes the guesswork on job sites where frame corner geometry varies between square and round, reducing the need to carry extra hardware. The SmartKey re-key capability allows the cylinder to be rekeyed in the field without removing the lock from the door, which is useful for property turnover, rental units, and lockout service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by locksmiths or general contractors familiar with residential door hardware. Verify door thickness and backset before beginning; standard residential doors typically accept 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latches. Confirm the appropriate strike from the included pack matches the door frame corner geometry before fastening. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can bind the cylinder and affect deadbolt operation.
