Product Description

The KWIKSET 818SCELIP-18GS.STRKP is a single cylinder exterior handleset featuring the San Clemente design with integrated SmartKey Security technology. It ships as a complete installation kit including a 6AL latch and a strike pack containing square corner, round corner, and 5303 round corner full lip strikes. The Gunmetal finish suits residential exterior door applications. SmartKey Security allows rekeying the lock to a new key in seconds without removing the hardware from the door, which reduces lockout service calls and simplifies key control for property managers and homeowners alike.

This handleset is designed for residential exterior door applications where both security and curb appeal are priorities. The included strike pack with multiple corner configurations makes it adaptable to common door jamb preparations without requiring additional hardware. Installation is typically performed by a residential locksmith, general contractor, or experienced handyperson during new construction, renovation, or direct replacement of an existing entry handleset. The Gunmetal finish is suited to contemporary and transitional exterior door styles.

Installation Notes

Shut off any connected smart home or electronic door systems before removing existing hardware. Installation follows standard residential door hardware procedures and should comply with applicable local building codes.

Rekeying with SmartKey requires the current working key and the SmartKey tool — do not attempt rekeying with a worn or incorrect key.
