Kwikset 730SOK-514 Sora Privacy Door Knob Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 730SOK-514 is a Sora-style interior privacy knob set designed for residential doors where privacy without keyed entry is required — bedrooms and bathrooms being the most common applications. The set ships complete with a traditional round rose, a 6AL latch, and an RCS strike plate, so the installer has everything needed for a full hardware replacement or new-install in a single package. The matte black finish provides a consistent, low-sheen appearance suited to modern and transitional interior aesthetics. At 1.85 pounds, the assembly is appropriately weighted for residential hollow-core and solid-core door applications.

This knob is intended for interior residential door installations where a privacy function is needed — a turn-button or push-button lock on the inside without a keyed cylinder. Typical install scenarios include bedroom and bathroom doors in single-family homes, apartments, and light-commercial restrooms. The included 6AL latch is a standard adjustable latch compatible with common door-bore preparations, and the RCS strike plate installs into a standard strike mortise in the door jamb. The matte black finish coordinates with matching Kwikset hardware across the Sora line for consistent room-to-room appearance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a residential locksmith, finish carpenter, or knowledgeable DIYer using a screwdriver and a tape measure. Confirm the door-bore diameter and backset measurement before ordering to ensure latch compatibility. The 6AL latch accommodates both 2-3/8-inch and 2-3/4-inch backsets — verify the door's backset before seating the latch. Privacy knobs do not require a keyed cylinder and are not rated for exterior or security applications.
