Kwikset 83279-006 (silver) Smartkey Cylinder Plug Levers

Product Description

The KWIKSET 83279-006 (SILVER) is a KW1 SmartKey cylinder plug designed as a direct-fit replacement component for lever-style locksets. The cylinder plug is the core of the lock cylinder and houses the keyway, wafer stack, and rotating plug that engages the tailpiece to operate the latch. It is compatible with the KW1 keyway profile and incorporates SmartKey re-keying technology, allowing the cylinder to be rekeyed without disassembly. This part is finished in 619/US15 Satin Nickel and is intended for installation by locksmiths, finish hardware specialists, or experienced maintenance technicians.

This cylinder plug is used in residential and light-commercial lever-handle door hardware applications. It is a service or repair component, intended for technicians replacing a worn, damaged, or compromised cylinder plug within an existing lever lockset assembly. The Satin Nickel finish coordinates with US15/619-finished trim and hardware in matching door hardware sets. It is not a complete lock unit and requires installation into a compatible lever lockset body.

Key Features

• KW1 keyway profile for compatibility with standard Kwikset-keyway lock systems
• SmartKey re-keying technology allows rekeying without removing the cylinder from the door
• 619/US15 Satin Nickel finish for a consistent look in matching hardware sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cylinder plug for KW1 keyway lever locksets utilizing SmartKey technology with a 619/US15 Satin Nickel finish.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified hardware technician familiar with cylinder plug removal and replacement procedures. Ensure the lever lockset assembly is fully removed from the door before servicing the cylinder plug. Refer to the lockset manufacturer's service documentation for proper plug insertion, retaining clip seating, and tailpiece alignment. Verify SmartKey function and smooth key rotation before reinstalling the lockset on the door.
