Kwikset 740PSKRDT-18GS Pismo Knob Entry Lock Smartkey Gunmetal

Product Description

The KWIKSET 740PSKRDT-18GS is a Pismo-style knob entry lock set with a round rose trim, designed for residential entry door applications. It ships as a complete assembly including a 6AL latch and an RCS strike plate, making it a ready-to-install lockset. The unit features Kwikset SmartKey Security, a re-keying technology that allows the lock cylinder to be re-keyed to a different key without removing the lock from the door. Finished in Gunmetal, this lockset is suited for residential exterior entry doors where a traditional knob-style handle is specified. Installation is handled by a residential locksmith or general contractor familiar with standard door prep dimensions.

This lockset is intended for residential entry door use. The Pismo knob design with round rose is a common specification on single-family homes and light residential construction. The included 6AL latch provides a standard drive bolt function, and the RCS reinforced strike adds door-frame security at the bolt catch point. The Gunmetal finish is a contemporary option suited for modern and transitional exterior door hardware schemes. The KA3 designation indicates the lock is part of a keyed-alike set of three, allowing multiple locks to operate on the same key.
