Kwikset 83014-016 Square Deadlatch Bright Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 83014-016 is a square deadlatch designed for residential door hardware applications. A deadlatch provides automatic latching action when a door closes, with a deadlocking plunger that prevents the latch bolt from being pushed back without turning the knob or lever. This unit ships in a Bright Brass finish and measures 5 inches in face plate length. It is typically installed by a licensed locksmith, finish carpenter, or general contractor during new construction or door hardware replacement. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for standard residential interior and exterior door prep.

This deadlatch is intended for residential door hardware installations where a square-corner faceplate is required. Square deadlatches are commonly specified on pre-hung door units and retrofit applications where the door jamb and strike plate prep matches a square corner profile. The Bright Brass finish coordinates with matching Bright Brass knobs, levers, and strike plates on the same door set.

• Square faceplate profile matches standard square-corner door prep

Follow local building codes for door hardware requirements on exterior and interior doors.
