Kwikset 817-11PS Key Control Deadbolt Smartkey Venetian Bronze

Product Description

The KWIKSET 817-11PS is a UL-listed key control deadbolt finished in Venetian Bronze, designed for residential exterior door applications. It ships complete with an RCAL latch and RCS strike, so the installer has all the hardware needed to complete the installation in a single package. The SmartKey re-keying technology built into this deadbolt allows a locksmith or qualified installer to re-key the cylinder in seconds without removing the lock from the door. At 2.09 pounds, it is a solid, full-featured deadbolt suited for wood-framed residential entry doors. The UL listing confirms independent third-party testing against recognized security and cycle standards.

This deadbolt is intended for residential exterior door installations where key control and re-keying flexibility are a priority. The SmartKey cylinder resists common forced-entry attacks including picking and bumping. The Venetian Bronze finish coordinates with a wide range of door hardware in matching or complementary finishes. Locksmiths, general contractors, and experienced residential installers are the primary trades that specify and install this product. The included RCAL latch and RCS strike reduce the need to source ancillary hardware separately, making it practical for new-construction and replacement projects alike.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith, general contractor, or experienced residential installer following the hardware manufacturer's template and instruction sheet. Power down any connected or electronic locking systems on the door before beginning work on adjacent hardware. Follow local building codes and the door manufacturer's bore specifications to ensure proper fit and security performance. Do not overtighten mounting hardware, as doing so can bind the deadbolt mechanism and void the warranty.
