Product Description

The KWIKSET 818BFHLIP-514S.STRKP is a single cylinder exterior handleset designed for residential entry door applications. It integrates SmartKey Security technology, allowing the cylinder to be rekeyed without removing the lock from the door. The handleset ships with a 6AL latch and a strike pack that includes square corner, round corner, and 5303 round corner full lip strike plates, covering the most common door frame preparations in one package. At 4.5 pounds, the unit is sized for standard entry door installations. The Matte Black finish suits both modern and transitional exterior door designs. Licensed locksmiths, finish carpenters, and experienced installers handle this type of product.

This handleset is intended for single-family residential exterior entry doors. The included strike pack addresses the three most common strike mortise configurations encountered in the field, reducing the need for separate hardware orders. The SmartKey cylinder allows rekeying to a new key without calling a locksmith, which is a common homeowner and property management requirement on tenant turnover. The Matte Black finish is suited for paired use with matching door hardware on front entry assemblies.
