Kwikset 740HFL Sqt 514 Halifax Entry Lever Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 740HFL SQT 514 is a keyed entry lever lock in a black finish, designed for exterior residential doors where security and accessibility are required. It features SmartKey Security technology, which resists advanced forced-entry techniques and allows field re-keying in seconds without removing the lock from the door. The latch includes an adjustable backset that shifts between 2-3/8 inches and 2-3/4 inches to fit standard door preparations. The lever is fully reversible, supporting both right-handed and left-handed door installations. The Halifax design is part of the Kwikset Signature Series.

This lever lock is intended for exterior entry doors in residential applications. It suits new construction and retrofit installations where a combination of ADA-compliant hardware and high-security certification is specified. The three interchangeable latch faceplates — round corner, square corner, and drive-in collar — allow the installer to match the door preparation without additional hardware. The locking mechanism operates via a turn piece on the interior face, standard for entry-function lever sets.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or finish carpenter following the door hardware manufacturer instructions and local building codes. Ensure the door is closed and all power to any adjacent electric hardware is off before beginning work. Confirm the door bore and edge-bore dimensions match the lock set requirements before installation. Do not force the latch or lever assembly; verify backset adjustment and faceplate selection before final fastening.
