Overview
A SmartKey cylinder lets this Kwikset deadbolt be rekeyed at home in seconds using the included tool and a working key. Outside it locks with a key, inside with a turn piece, and the adjustable latch fits both common backsets.
Rekeying without a locksmith lets new homeowners and landlords match every door to one key. It is a plain mechanical deadbolt, so there is no code entry, and the bronze finish is painted.
Who it's for
Homeowners, landlords and renters upgrading a front door who want rekeying control. Households that want keyless codes need an electronic deadbolt.

Performance notes
SmartKey changes the pin setup through the tool slot, so a new key can be set without removing the lock. Resistance to forced entry rests on its BHMA grade and a well-anchored strike plate.
