Kwikset 818PGHLIP-15S.STRKP Exterior Handleset Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 818PGHLIP-15S.STRKP is a single cylinder exterior handleset finished in satin nickel, designed for residential front door applications. It ships as a complete installation kit including a 6AL latch and a strike pack that contains three strike options: square corner, round corner, and a 5303 round corner full lip strike. The SmartKey Security cylinder allows rekeying without removing the lock from the door, which reduces service time for locksmiths and property managers. The Prague exterior design provides a traditional profile suitable for a range of door styles. At 3.5 pounds, the assembly is a full hardware complement ready for direct installation.

This handleset is intended for residential exterior door installations, typically the front entry. The included strike pack with three strike configurations accommodates common door frame mortise variations without requiring a separate hardware order. Licensed locksmiths, carpenters, and experienced door hardware installers handle this type of work. The SmartKey feature is particularly useful in rental or multi-unit residential settings where rekeying frequency is high.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or finish carpenter familiar with door hardware prep and NEC or local building code requirements for entry door security. Ensure the door is closed and the latch bore and cross bore are properly sized before installation. Select the appropriate strike plate from the included pack based on the door frame corner profile before fastening. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as excessive torque can distort the latch mechanism housing.
