Kwikset 450P-26DS Polo Knob Storeroom Vestibule Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 450P-26DS is a Polo knob storeroom vestibule lock designed for doors that require entry control from the outside while remaining freely operable from the inside without a key. This lock ships complete with a 6AL latch and an RCS strike plate, making it a ready-to-install assembly for new construction or replacement applications. The satin chrome finish provides a clean, neutral appearance suited to commercial and residential entryways. SmartKey Security technology is built in, allowing the cylinder to be rekeyed quickly without removing the hardware from the door. This unit weighs 1.2 pounds and fits a door prep with standard backset dimensions. Licensed locksmiths, general contractors, and facilities maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

The 450P-26DS is suited for storeroom and vestibule applications where the outside knob is always locked and can only be opened with a key, while the inside knob turns freely at all times. This function is commonly specified for storage rooms, server rooms, utility closets, and similar spaces in both light commercial and residential settings. The complete kit includes the 6AL latch and RCS strike, reducing the need for separate hardware sourcing on standard door preps.
