Kwikset 730KAL-514 Katella Lever Privacy Door Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 730KAL-514 is a Katella-series lever-style privacy door lock supplied with a 6AL latch and an RCS strike plate, finished in matte black. Privacy locks are designed for interior rooms such as bathrooms and bedrooms, providing a push-button or turn-button locking mechanism that can be released from the outside in an emergency. The unit ships as a complete assembly — lock body, latch, and strike — so installers have all hardware needed for a standard door prep. At 1.7 pounds, the hardware is residential weight-class and suited for interior hollow-core or solid-core door installations.

This privacy lever is intended for residential interior door applications. Typical installation locations include bathroom, bedroom, and other private-use rooms where a keyed lock is not required but a privacy function is needed. The matte black finish is suited for modern and transitional interior design schemes. The included 6AL latch accommodates standard door backset configurations, and the RCS strike is included for a direct rough-opening installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, locksmith, or knowledgeable DIYer on a standard pre-bored interior door. Verify door thickness and backset measurement before installation to confirm latch compatibility. No special tools beyond a screwdriver are required for most standard door preps. Ensure the door is in a closed, unlatched position before beginning hardware removal or installation.
