Kwikset 740TNL-26S Tustin Lever Entry Lock Smartkey Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 740TNL-26S is a residential entry door lever lock featuring SmartKey Security re-keying technology, supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS strike plate in a Bright Chrome finish. SmartKey allows the cylinder to be re-keyed in seconds without removing the lock from the door, using only the SmartKey tool and a new key. The lever-style trim suits exterior entry doors where a turn-button or thumb-turn interior handle is required for code-compliant egress. This lock is installed by locksmiths, residential carpenters, and general contractors during new construction, renovation, or security upgrade work.

The 740TNL-26S is designed for standard residential entry door applications. The included 6AL latch and RCS strike provide a ready-to-install hardware package for single-bore door preparations. The Bright Chrome finish coordinates with common door hardware finishes in residential settings. The SmartKey cylinder is also bump-resistant and pick-resistant, making it suitable for front-entry and side-entry door installations where both convenience and security are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith, residential carpenter, or qualified contractor following the door manufacturer and local building code requirements. Ensure the door is properly aligned and the latch bore and cross-bore dimensions match the lock hardware before installation. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can cause the lever to bind against the door face. Verify proper strike alignment and door frame clearance before completing installation.
