The KWIKSET 81696-009 is a contemporary screw cap cover finished in gunmetal, designed to conceal exposed fastener heads on door hardware installations. This small trim accessory snaps or seats over screw points to deliver a clean, finished appearance on interior and exterior door assemblies. Measuring 1 inch in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.4 inches in height, it is a compact component weighing 0.1 pounds.

Installation Notes

Installation of this screw cap cover is typically performed by a locksmith or finish carpenter as the final step of a door hardware assembly.

Ensure the underlying door hardware is fully secured and fasteners are properly torqued before seating the cap cover. Remove and refit the cover carefully to avoid marring the gunmetal finish.
