Kwikset 83279-005 Smart Cylinder Gold Finish

Product Description

The KWIKSET 83279-005 is a smart cylinder replacement component designed for use with knob and lever locksets in a Gold finish. This cylinder integrates with Kwikset SmartKey Security technology, allowing rekeying without removing the lock from the door. It is installed by locksmiths and experienced door hardware technicians in residential applications where existing knob or lever hardware needs a cylinder swap or upgrade. The compact profile and finished housing make it a direct-fit solution for maintaining both function and appearance in door hardware assemblies.

This cylinder is suited for residential door hardware installations where a knob or lever body already exists and only the cylinder component requires replacement or upgrade. It is appropriate for interior and exterior doors in single-family homes and light commercial settings. The Gold finish is intended to match existing door hardware in complementary or matching finish families.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith or qualified door hardware technician. Remove all tension from the lockset and disengage the door latch before removing the existing cylinder. Follow the lockset manufacturer's disassembly instructions to avoid damaging the knob or lever body. Verify finish and cylinder format compatibility with the existing hardware before installation.
