Kwikset 81696-002 Screw Cap Cover Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 81696-002 is a contemporary screw cap cover finished in satin nickel, designed to conceal exposed fastener heads on door hardware installations. This small trim component provides a clean, finished appearance by snapping or fitting over screw heads on Kwikset locksets and door hardware assemblies. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-unit accessory. Locksmiths, door hardware installers, and finish carpenters typically use this piece during installation or retrofit work to maintain a consistent aesthetic across the hardware assembly.

This screw cap cover is suited for residential door hardware applications where a polished, concealed-fastener look is required. It is commonly used alongside Kwikset handlesets, deadbolts, and interior door knob or lever assemblies where exposed screw heads would otherwise be visible on the rose or trim plate. The satin nickel finish coordinates with brushed nickel and similar mid-tone metallic hardware finishes in contemporary and transitional interior styles.
