Kwikset 898AMD-15 Amador Door Handleset Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 898AMD-15 is a single-piece door handle assembly designed for residential entry door applications where a separate deadbolt is already in place or will be installed independently. This unit ships without a deadbolt and includes an RCAL latch and RCS strike plate, giving installers the components needed for a complete handle installation. The Satin Nickel finish provides a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance suited to a wide range of door hardware trim styles. At 2.4 pounds, the assembly is a direct, manageable single-unit installation for a licensed locksmith or general contractor.

This handle-only configuration is intended for residential entry doors where a deadbolt function is handled by a separate lock cylinder above or below the handle set. The RCAL latch included in the package is a spring latch designed to work with standard residential door prep. The RCS strike plate installs into the door jamb and accepts the RCAL latch for positive door closure. This product is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for new construction and retrofit entry door projects in residential settings.

Ensure all existing hardware is removed and the door is held stationary before driving any fasteners.
