Kwikset 3277-3 Square Deadlatch Bright Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 3277-3 is a square deadlatch designed for residential door installations where a reliable spring-actuated latch with a deadlocking plunger is required. The 2-3/8 inch backset positions the latch for standard pre-bored door preps, and the bright brass finish suits a wide range of interior and exterior door hardware pairings. The deadlocking plunger prevents the latch bolt from being pushed back when the door is closed, adding an important layer of forced-entry resistance. This latch is installed by locksmiths, carpenters, and general contractors as part of a complete door hardware assembly.

The 3277-3 is suited for residential entry and interior door applications where a square-corner faceplate is required. The 2-3/8 inch backset is a common measurement for standard residential doors. This latch integrates with knobsets and levers that use a square deadlatch configuration, making it appropriate for retrofit and new-construction installations alike. Bright brass finish coordinates with matching door hardware in the same finish family.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith, carpenter, or qualified door hardware technician. Ensure the door is secured and the existing hardware is fully removed before fitting the new latch. The faceplate mortise must be square-corner routed to accept this latch style. Verify backset measurement from the door edge to the center of the bore hole before ordering to confirm fitment.
