Kwikset 83288-001 Metal Dust Box Full Lip Strike

Product Description

The KWIKSET 83288-001 is a metal dust box designed for use with full lip strike plates in residential door latch and lockset installations. It fits into the door frame mortise behind the strike, covering the bolt cavity to block debris, drafts, and insects from entering the frame pocket. The part is small, precisely formed, and intended as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component. Licensed carpenters, locksmiths, and general contractors routinely install this piece during door hardware rough-in or lockset retrofit work.

This dust box is suited for residential door frame applications where a full lip strike is used with a standard latch or deadbolt. It seats inside the frame mortise and pairs with the corresponding Kwikset full lip strike plate. At 2.15 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.55 inches deep, it fits standard residential door frame prep dimensions. Single-unit packaging makes it a practical replacement part for service calls and punch-list work.
