Kwikset 687DA-3SMC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset come complete, or do I need an interior piece too?
Exterior only. The 687DA SMC Dakota is the outside handleset half with the deadbolt cylinder, and a separate Kwikset interior pack has to be ordered with it to finish the door. If you buy just this, you will have an exterior grip and no inside trim to operate the latch.
2) Will the Kwikset Dakota handleset fit my existing door prep?
The latch backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which covers both standard residential bore preps, and the handleset is set up for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. The latch uses a round corner faceplate and ships with a 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner strike, so if your existing frame is prepped for a square corner faceplate you will need to re-mortise or swap the faceplate.
3) Can I key the Kwikset 687DA SMC to my existing Schlage SC1 keys?
That is exactly what the SMC version is for. It ships with a SmartKey cylinder cut to the SC1 keyway, so you can re-key it yourself to an existing SC1 key in seconds with the SmartKey tool rather than pulling the cylinder. The SMT version is the same handleset in the Kwikset KW1 keyway. It comes with 2 keys.
4) I am doing several units - can I get these keyed alike?
Yes. Keying is selected at order: keyed different or keyed alike, at no charge, and there is an optional key code field if you need them cut to a specific code you already carry in the building. Because these are SmartKey cylinders on the SC1 keyway, you can also re-key them yourself later without removing the lock, which is what makes them practical across a portfolio of doors.
5) What security grade is the Kwikset Dakota handleset deadbolt?
ANSI/BHMA Grade 3, with a 1 inch deadbolt throw. Grade 3 is the residential tier, and this is catalogued as a residential product, so for a commercial entrance or a high traffic multi-family main door you want a Grade 2 or Grade 1 product instead. Among handlesets we carry, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder handleset are both Grade 2.
6) Which single cylinder handleset should I use on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC handleset is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry set rated 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Kwikset 687DA Dakota single cylinder handleset if I want a complete keyed entry set with an interior lever instead of an exterior-only trim?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC is an exterior-only single cylinder keyed entry handleset, so an interior pack is needed to finish the opening. If you want a set that already pairs the exterior handleset with an interior lever, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset comes with an Accent lever and is a Grade 2 entrance set with a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Kwikset is Grade 3 with a reversible hand and an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
8) I need a handleset for a door that does not need a key. What replaces the Kwikset 687DA Dakota?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset. Where no key is wanted, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a pull-only application with no latching at all, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob are both dummy function for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
9) What should I use instead of the Kwikset 687DA Dakota if the door is prepped for a mortise lock?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC is a tubular-style single cylinder handleset with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch latch backset, so it suits standard bored door prep. For a mortise-prepped door, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is an entrance mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder version covers the same 1-3/4 inch thickness where a keyed inside cylinder is required.
10) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand Dakota handleset?
No handing to specify. The Dakota 687DA is reversible, so the same part works on an inswing or outswing door of either hand.
11) Single cylinder or double cylinder - which is the 687DA and does it matter for a glass door?
Single cylinder: key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside. On a door with glass sidelites or glazing within arm's reach of the turn, some jurisdictions push you toward double cylinder. If you need key-both-sides, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is available as a double cylinder entry mortise trim; the 6542 also comes single cylinder.
12) I want the Dakota look but no deadbolt - what are my options?
The Dakota family covers that. The 899DA is the lower handleset with a Tustin interior lever and no deadbolt, and the 898DA is a dummy lower handle, exterior only, for an inactive leaf or a second door in a pair. The 687DA is the keyed version with the deadbolt.
13) Is this a keyed entry function or a storeroom style lock?
Entry/office function with a keyed exterior grip and a single cylinder deadbolt above it. It is built for an exterior entrance where you need key access and a throw bolt, not for an interior passage or privacy opening. If you want the handleset appearance without keying, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function handleset.
14) Is the Emtek 3002 Memphis mortise entrance handleset a substitute for the Kwikset 687DA Dakota?
No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is dummy function, as are the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan, so none of them lock or key. The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with SmartKey re-keyable cylinder. The word entrance in the Emtek names refers to the trim style, not to a keyed function.
15) Which alternatives to the Kwikset 687DA Dakota also give an adjustable backset?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC latch adjusts to a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Among other handlesets, the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry handleset and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 keyed entry handleset are both built with an adjustable backset, as are the Sure-Loc Alta AT507 tubular handleset and the Sure-Loc Coral CR507 handleset.
16) I want a keypad handleset instead of the key-operated Kwikset 687DA Dakota. What are the options?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC uses a SmartKey re-keyable cylinder operated by key. For electronic operation, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset and the BYRD226CBARX Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version both fit 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. The BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset is a Wi-Fi model in the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch range and uses a passage handleset rather than a keyed one.
17) Is there a single cylinder handleset like the Kwikset 687DA Dakota that covers both 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch doors?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. If your openings vary, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel is an entry function set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset spans 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
18) What handleset pairs with a knob instead of a lever as an alternative to the Kwikset 687DA Dakota?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC is exterior trim only, so the interior knob or lever is chosen separately. If you would rather buy a handleset already matched to a knob, the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob are both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
19) Is the Kwikset Dakota handleset hard to install for a maintenance tech?
It goes on with a screwdriver, no special tools. The latch backset adjusts on the bolt itself between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches so you are not matching a part number to the door's bore spacing, and there is no handing to sort out since the trim is reversible. Remember the interior pack is a separate order.
20) What is Microban protection on this door hardware and does it wear off?
Microban antimicrobial protection is built into the Dakota's finish and keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than an unprotected surface. It is a property of the finish itself, not a coating you apply, which is why it gets specified on healthcare and hospitality entrances where hand contact is constant.
21) What solid brass entry handlesets compare with the Kwikset 687DA Dakota for a traditional-style front door?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota SMC is a traditional-style entrance handleset offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel and Polished Brass. For solid brass construction in an entry function, the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann and the Deltana 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry handlesets.
