Kwikset 740PSKSQT-514S Pismo Entry Knob Smartkey Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 740PSKSQT-514S is a Pismo-style entry knob set with a square rose design, built for residential exterior door applications. It ships with a 6AL latch, an RCS strike plate, and SmartKey Security re-keying technology built into the cylinder. SmartKey allows a qualified installer or locksmith to rekey the lock in seconds using the SmartKey learn tool without removing the hardware from the door. The knob and rose are finished in Matte Black. The set is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by a locksmith, general contractor, or experienced handyman on standard residential entry doors.

This knob set is suited for residential front, side, or back entry doors where a keyed entry function is required on the exterior knob with a turn-button or thumb-turn latch release on the interior. The square rose profile fits contemporary and transitional door hardware styles. The included 6AL latch and RCS strike are ready to install as a complete unit, reducing the need for additional hardware sourcing on a standard door prep.

Do not force the SmartKey cylinder during rekeying; follow the documented rekeying procedure step by step to avoid cylinder damage.
