Kwikset 817-26DS Ul Key Control Deadbolt Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 817-26DS is a UL-listed key control deadbolt featuring SmartKey Security technology, designed for residential exterior door applications. It ships with an RCAL latch and RCS strike, giving installers a complete ready-to-fit package. The SmartKey cylinder allows field rekeying without removing the lock from the door, a practical advantage for property managers and locksmiths handling turnover work. Finished in Satin Chrome, it suits a wide range of door styles. The unit weighs 2 pounds and measures 4.7 inches in length, 4.1 inches in width, and 2.9 inches in height. Licensed locksmiths, residential carpenters, and security contractors are the typical installers.

This deadbolt is intended for residential exterior doors where key control and rekey convenience are required. The included RCAL latch and RCS strike reduce the need for additional hardware sourcing on standard installations. The Satin Chrome finish is suited for both new construction and retrofit work. Its UL listing supports use in applications where listed hardware is specified by building codes or insurance requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified residential contractor. Disconnect or confirm no electrical interference with adjacent smart-lock wiring before beginning work on multi-point entry systems. Follow local building codes and the door manufacturer's hardware specifications for backset and cross-bore dimensions. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can bind the cylinder and affect SmartKey operation.
