Kwikset 83373-008 Smartkey Deadbolt Cylinder Silver

Product Description

The KWIKSET 83373-008 is a SmartKey deadbolt cylinder sold without housing in a silver finish. This replacement cylinder is designed for use in deadbolt lock assemblies where only the core mechanism requires service or replacement. The SmartKey technology allows the cylinder to be rekeyed quickly without removing the lock from the door, using a compatible SmartKey tool. Weighing 0.12 pounds and measuring 3.15 inches in length and 1 inch in both width and height, this compact component fits into standard deadbolt housings. Installation is typically handled by locksmiths or skilled tradespeople performing lock maintenance or cylinder replacement work.

This cylinder is suited for residential deadbolt applications where the existing housing remains serviceable but the cylinder must be replaced or rekeyed. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for exterior door deadbolt assemblies requiring a cylinder-only swap. The silver finish coordinates with common hardware finishes found in standard residential door hardware installations. This part is appropriate for situations where a full lock replacement is unnecessary and only the cylinder component needs to be addressed.

Installation Notes

Cylinder replacement on deadbolt assemblies is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or experienced door hardware installer. Before servicing, ensure the door is accessible and the lock is fully disengaged. Use manufacturer-approved SmartKey tools for rekeying procedures. Do not force the cylinder during installation, as this may damage the SmartKey mechanism or the housing.
