Kwikset 96650-494 Double Cylinder Deadbolt Polished Brass 6-pack

Product Description

The KWIKSET 96650-494 is a polished brass double cylinder deadbolt sold as a keyed-alike case of six units. Double cylinder deadbolts require a key to operate from both the interior and exterior, making them a common choice for doors with glass panels or sidelights where interior thumb-turn access would be a security vulnerability. The latch features a 1-inch diameter round corner adjustable design that fits both 2-3/8-inch and 2-3/4-inch backsets, covering the two most common door prep configurations. A round corner strike is included. The finish and mechanical components carry a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

This deadbolt is suited for residential entry doors, commercial light-duty applications, and property management scenarios where multiple units must be keyed to a single key. The keyed-alike configuration across the six-unit case simplifies master-key planning and reduces the key count for property owners, landlords, and facilities managers. The polished brass finish is appropriate for doors with matching brass hardware. Installation is straightforward for any door already prepped to standard ANSI backset dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith, general contractor, or experienced maintenance technician. Ensure the door is properly aligned and the frame is square before installing the strike plate to avoid binding. Double cylinder deadbolts are subject to local building and fire codes — verify that interior key-required operation is permitted for the intended occupancy type before installation, as some jurisdictions restrict or prohibit double cylinder deadbolts on certain egress doors. No special tools beyond a standard screwdriver are required for most installations on pre-bored doors.
