Kwikset 740PSKSQT-18GS Pismo Knob Entry Lock Smartkey

Product Description

The KWIKSET 740PSKSQT-18GS is a Pismo knob-style entry lock with a square rose, designed for residential exterior door applications. It ships with the SmartKey Security re-keying system, a 6AL latch, an RCS strike plate, and a KA3 key-alike designation in a Gunmetal finish. SmartKey allows the lock cylinder to be re-keyed in seconds without removing the lock from the door, using only the current working key and the SmartKey tool. The 740PSKSQT-18GS is a keyed entry function, meaning the exterior knob requires a key while the interior side provides a turn-button for privacy and egress. Weighing 1.2 pounds, the unit ships as a single piece.

This lock is suited for residential exterior entry doors where a knob-style lever is preferred over a lever or deadbolt. The square rose trim gives the lockset a contemporary profile that coordinates with square-cornered door hardware collections. The included 6AL latch provides standard backset installation compatibility, and the RCS strike plate is ready for direct installation in typical door frame applications. Installation is handled by a finish carpenter, locksmith, or experienced general contractor. The KA3 designation allows this unit to be ordered alongside other KA3-coded Kwikset hardware so that multiple doors operate on the same key.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith, finish carpenter, or qualified general contractor following the door preparation specifications included with the hardware. Disengage any power-latching or electronic access control systems before removing an existing lockset. Verify backset measurement on the door before selecting the latch included, and confirm door thickness compatibility prior to installation. Re-keying with the SmartKey system should only be performed using a valid working key and the designated SmartKey learn tool.
