ELITE SECURITY ENTRY LEVER LOCKSET - SATIN NICKELKeyed entry lever lockset for exterior doors. The lever-handle design meets ADA-friendly operation requirements, making it easier to use with full hands, gloves, or limited grip strength than a round knob. The Satin Nickel finish works on a wide range of doors and trim packages.
- Finish: Satin Nickel
- Keyed entry function for exterior doors (key outside, turn-button or latch inside)
- KW1 keyway accepts standard Kwikset-compatible keys
- Adjustable backset: 2-3/8" or 2-3/4"
- Fits standard 2-1/8" cross-bore and 1" edge-bore door prep
- Door thickness: 1-3/8" to 1-3/4"
- Includes 2 nickel-plated steel keys, latch, and strike plate
- Reversible lever for left- or right-hand doors
- Not rekeyable - keyed at the factory
Installation Tip: Confirm the door has a standard 2-1/8" cross bore and 1" edge bore before unboxing. Set the adjustable backset on the latch to match the existing strike (most residential doors are 2-3/8"). Install the latch with the slope facing the door stop so the door pulls itself closed. Test the key from outside and the turn-button from inside before tightening fully so you can correct any binding.
Finish Selection: Satin nickel is the most universally compatible finish - works with brushed-nickel plumbing trim, brushed-chrome appliances, and most contemporary trim packages. Hides fingerprints better than polished chrome or polished brass.
Note: This lockset is keyed at the factory and is not field-rekeyable. The KW1 keyway is the standard Kwikset-compatible keyway, so a locksmith can cut additional keys from the original key without re-pinning. For higher security, pair with a deadbolt and use 3" wood screws on the strike plate to anchor into the framing stud behind the jamb.
