Kwikset 898AMD-26 Amador Door Handle Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 898AMD-26 is a handle-only door hardware set featuring the Amador style without a deadbolt, designed for residential entry and interior door applications. It ships with an RCAL latch and RCS strike plate, giving installers everything needed for a complete handle installation in a single package. The Bright Chrome finish delivers a polished, reflective appearance suited to traditional and transitional door styles. At 2.4 pounds, the unit is appropriately weighted for standard residential door prep. This hardware is installed by carpenters, remodelers, and general contractors during new construction or door hardware replacement projects.

This handle set is intended for residential door applications where a passage or entry lever is required without an integrated deadbolt. The Amador style suits front entry, interior passage, and utility door installations where a clean, chrome-finished lever is specified. The included RCAL latch and RCS strike simplify rough-in and finish work on standard door preps. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit replacement of existing lever hardware in residential settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a carpenter, remodeler, or qualified door hardware installer using standard hand tools. Verify door thickness and backset before installation to confirm latch compatibility with the existing door prep. Ensure the door is secure and stationary during hardware installation to prevent misalignment of the latch and strike. Do not overtighten mounting hardware, as this can affect lever operation and finish integrity.
