Kwikset 818PTHLIP-L03S.STRKP Single Cylinder Handleset

Product Description

The KWIKSET 818PTHLIP-L03S.STRKP is a single cylinder exterior handleset designed for residential entry doors. It combines a Prescott-style handle with SmartKey Security technology, allowing rekeying without removing the lock from the door. The set ships complete with a 6AL latch and a strike pack that includes a square corner strike, a round corner strike, and a 5303 round corner full lip strike. The Lifetime Brass finish provides long-term corrosion resistance for exterior exposure. This handleset is installed by locksmiths, general contractors, and knowledgeable homeowners as part of a new door installation or hardware replacement.

This handleset is suited for residential exterior entry doors where a traditional lever-style handle with a keyed cylinder is required. The included strike pack accommodates multiple door jamb configurations, making it adaptable across a range of residential door frames. The SmartKey cylinder allows the homeowner or technician to rekey the lock to a new key in seconds without disassembly, which is useful for move-in rekeying or after a key is lost. The Lifetime Brass finish is suited for covered entryways and standard exterior conditions.
