Kwikset 82730-002 Square Deadbolt Latch US26 US26D

Product Description

The KWIKSET 82730-002 is a square deadbolt latch designed for residential door hardware applications. It provides the mechanical bolt throw action required for proper deadbolt operation and is installed as part of a complete deadbolt lockset assembly. Measuring 6 inches in length, 2.3 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, this latch fits within standard door edge preparations. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for quick replacement or new installation. Locksmiths, door hardware installers, and experienced residential contractors are the typical trades handling this part.

This latch is specified for use with US26 Bright Chrome and US26D Satin Chrome finish deadbolt assemblies. It is intended for residential entry door applications where a square-corner faceplate style is required. The square faceplate design suits door frames and strike plates that are prepared for a flat, non-rounded latch face, which is common in both new construction and retrofit door hardware installations.
