Kwikset 740HFLSQT-26S Halifax Lever Entry Lock Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 740HFLSQT-26S is a Halifax-style lever entry door lock with a square rose trim, designed for residential exterior door applications. It ships as a complete entry set including a 6AL latch and RCS strike, so installers have all the hardware needed for a full installation. The lever operates with SmartKey Security, a re-keying system that allows the lock cylinder to be rekeyed without removing the lockset from the door. The finish is Bright Chrome (26S), which suits a wide range of door and hardware pairings. At 2.01 pounds, the assembly is manageable for single-technician installation on standard door prep.

This lever lockset is intended for residential entry doors — front doors, side entries, and similar exterior applications requiring keyed entry with a lever-style handle. The square rose trim provides a contemporary, geometric profile that works with modern and transitional door styles. The included 6AL latch and RCS strike make this a ready-to-install kit for new construction or replacement of an existing entry lockset. Installation is straightforward on doors with standard bore preparation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician, though many contractors and knowledgeable DIYers complete this work. Ensure the door is properly prepped with a standard cross-bore diameter and edge-bore latch hole before fitting the lever assembly. Disengage any existing lock hardware and confirm the strike plate mortise in the door jamb aligns with the included RCS strike before fastening. When using the SmartKey re-keying function, follow the manufacturer re-keying procedure exactly — performing steps out of order can lock the cylinder.
