Kwikset 405BL-26S Balboa Lever Entry Lock Smartkey Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 405BL-26S is a keyed entry lever lock designed for residential exterior doors. It pairs the Balboa lever trim with SmartKey Security rekeying technology, allowing the lock to be rekeyed in seconds without removing it from the door. The set includes a 6AL latch and RCS strike plate, giving installers everything needed for a complete installation. Finished in Bright Chrome (26S), it suits entryways where a classic polished look is required. This lock is intended for installation by a qualified door hardware or locksmith professional on standard residential entry doors.

The 405BL-26S is suited for residential entry applications where keyed security and a lever-style handle are preferred over a knob configuration. The Balboa lever is a traditional round-style lever appropriate for front doors, side entries, and back doors in single-family and multi-family residential settings. The included 6AL latch and RCS strike ensure compatibility with standard door prep dimensions. SmartKey rekeying capability makes this lock practical for property managers or homeowners who need to rekey on a regular cycle without calling a locksmith.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style keyed entry lever replacement for standard residential door preparations. Specific cross-compatible model numbers were not provided in the product data; verify door bore dimensions and backset requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward for a qualified door hardware technician or experienced locksmith working on a standard residential door with a 2-1/8-inch bore and either a 2-3/8-inch or 2-3/4-inch backset. Confirm the correct backset on the latch before fastening. All fasteners should be tightened securely but not over-torqued, as excess force can affect lever alignment and latch operation. Rekeying should only be performed using the proper SmartKey tool and a working key currently set to the lock.
