Kwikset 818PTHLIP-15S.STRKP Exterior Handleset Smartkey

Product Description

The KWIKSET 818PTHLIP-15S.STRKP is a single cylinder exterior handleset in a Satin Nickel finish, designed for residential entry door applications. It features SmartKey Security technology, which allows the cylinder to be rekeyed without removing the lock from the door — a practical advantage for property managers and homeowners handling key control. The set includes a 6AL latch and a full strike pack (STRKP) containing Square Corner, Round Corner, and 5303 Round Corner Full Lip strikes, covering the most common door jamb configurations encountered in the field. Installation is handled by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer.

This handleset is intended for exterior residential entry doors where a Prescott-style lever-and-deadbolt combination is specified. The included strike pack reduces the need to source separate hardware, making it suitable for new construction, remodel, and door replacement projects. The Satin Nickel finish coordinates with standard residential hardware trim. The 6AL latch accommodates typical residential door backset requirements. This product ships as a single unit and is also available in case quantities of four.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or locksmith following standard residential door hardware procedures.

Do not overtighten mounting hardware, as this can affect latch and deadbolt operation.
