Kwikset 300BL-514 Balboa Lever Privacy Lock Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 300BL-514 is a Balboa lever-style privacy door lock supplied as a complete assembly including a 6AL latch and RCS strike plate, finished in matte black. Privacy locks are designed for interior doors where one-side locking is required without a keyed cylinder — the locking mechanism engages from the inside and can be released from the outside with a small-diameter emergency tool in case of accidental lockout. This hardware suits residential interior door applications and is installed by carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers. The matte black finish provides a consistent aesthetic across interior door hardware.

The 300BL-514 is intended for interior residential doors where privacy is needed, such as bathrooms and bedrooms. The included 6AL latch and RCS strike plate provide a complete, ready-to-install assembly without sourcing additional components. The unit ships as a single assembly (sold individually) and is packaged for standard residential door prep dimensions. No keyed access is required for this application.

Installation Notes

Privacy levers are installed by carpenters or general contractors on pre-bored interior doors following standard residential door hardware prep dimensions. Verify door thickness and backset measurement before installation to confirm latch compatibility. No special tools beyond a screwdriver are typically required for standard door prep. The emergency release on the exterior side should be tested after installation to confirm proper function before the door is put into service.
