Kwikset 740HFLRCT-514S Halifax Entry Lock Smartkey Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 740HFLRCT-514S is a Halifax-style lever entry door lock with a rectangular rose, designed for residential exterior door applications. It ships complete with a 6AL latch and RCS strike plate, giving installers a ready-to-mount hardware set. The lever is finished in Matte Black and integrates SmartKey Security, a re-keying system that allows the lock cylinder to be rekeyed without removing the lock from the door. The 740HFLRCT-514S weighs 2.1 pounds and is sold individually. It suits projects where a consistent, modern handleset profile is required alongside rekeying flexibility.

The Halifax lever with rectangular rose is intended for residential entry door installation, typically on front or back exterior doors where a keyed-entry lever function is required. The SmartKey cylinder allows a homeowner or locksmith to rekey the lock to a new key in seconds using the SmartKey tool, making it practical for new-construction move-ins, tenant turnovers, or security upgrades. The included 6AL latch and RCS strike are compatible with standard door prep. The Matte Black finish suits contemporary door hardware schemes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith, finish carpenter, or experienced general contractor following the manufacturer template for door boring and backset alignment. Verify door thickness and backset measurement before ordering, as levers require correct latch backset selection for proper fit. Ensure the door is not under load during installation to prevent latch misalignment with the strike. SmartKey rekeying should be performed per the manufacturer procedure using the designated SmartKey tool only.
