Kwikset 687DA-26DS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset come with the interior side, or do I have to order that separately?
Exterior only. The 687DA Dakota single cylinder handleset is the outside handle and deadbolt assembly, and an interior pack has to be ordered with it to complete the door. Plan on two line items per opening if you are pricing out a job.
2) Will the Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset fit my existing door holes, or do I need to re-drill?
The latch backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which are the two standard residential bores, so the Dakota handleset drops onto existing prep without re-drilling the edge. It is built for a 1-3/4 inch door. A 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner strike is what mates to the frame, so check that your jamb prep takes a round corner strike rather than a square one.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Kwikset Dakota handleset?
Neither. The 687DA Dakota handleset is reversible, so one part number covers both swings and you set the hand during install. For a property manager buying for multiple units, that means no handing to track on the purchase order.
4) Can I key the Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset to match the locks already on my building?
Yes, in two ways. SmartKey Security lets you re-key the cylinder yourself in seconds without pulling the lock off the door, and it works with either the Kwikset KW1 or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so a building already running SC1 keys does not have to switch. Ordering also takes a keying selection of keyed different or keyed alike, and you can supply an existing key code if you want the new handlesets cut to a key you already carry. Two keys come with it.
5) Is the Kwikset Dakota handleset rated for commercial or apartment entry doors?
It is a residential product, ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 on the deadbolt. Grade 3 is the residential duty level, so it suits single family and light multi-family unit entry doors rather than high traffic commercial openings. If you need a step up in duty for apartment entries, the Schlage F60 Addison handleset and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset are both Grade 2.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 687DA Dakota single cylinder handleset from another brand?
The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is the nearest match by function: both are single cylinder keyed entry handlesets for an exterior door. The two differ in what they cover on the door. The Kwikset 687DA Dakota is an exterior-only assembly and requires a separate interior pack, while the Schlage F60 Addison comes with the Accent lever for the interior side. Door prep also differs - the Dakota carries a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the F60 Addison covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so the Schlage spans thinner doors as well.
7) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what keyed entry handleset fits instead of the Kwikset Dakota?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset with Hudson knob is also single cylinder and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are keyed entry handlesets like the Dakota, so the change is in door thickness coverage and trim design rather than in function.
8) I need a Grade 2 handleset instead of Grade 3 - what are the options?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset deadbolt is ANSI/BHMA Grade 3. For a Grade 2 keyed entry handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Master Lock HDLB series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2 entrance function. Both are keyed single cylinder entrance units like the Dakota; the difference a spec writer cares about is the grade certification and, on the Schlage, the wider door thickness coverage.
9) What handleset works on both 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch doors when the Kwikset Dakota only lists 1-3/4 inch?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door. Where a building mixes thinner slabs, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range in Grade 2 entrance function. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset goes wider still at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Ordering one of these lets a single part number cover doors of both thicknesses.
10) Which entry handlesets come with the interior knob or lever included, rather than needing a separate interior pack?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota is an exterior-only assembly and an interior pack is required to complete the door. Peers that pair the exterior handleset with an interior trim in one part number include the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Carnaby knob, both entrance function; the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob, single cylinder, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob, single cylinder, for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors; and the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever. If you want one line item per door, those are the way to buy it.
11) Is the Kwikset Dakota a single cylinder or double cylinder handleset, and does it have a thumbturn inside?
Single cylinder. The 687DA Dakota takes a key on the outside and the interior side operates by turn, which is what most residential codes want on an egress door. It is an entry function set, so the exterior handle is keyed and the deadbolt is the security point. If you specifically need key operation from both sides, look at a double cylinder trim such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim instead.
12) How much deadbolt throw does the Kwikset 687DA Dakota have, and will it reach my existing strike?
One inch of deadbolt throw, which is the full residential throw and engages a standard jamb strike pocket. The set ships with a 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner strike. If your frame is currently prepped for a square corner faceplate you will need to chisel the corners or swap the strike; the latch faceplate on this one is round corner as well.
13) What is the difference between the Kwikset Dakota handleset and a dummy handleset?
The 687DA Dakota is a keyed entry set with a working deadbolt, for the active leaf of an exterior door. A dummy handleset is trim only, no latch and no lock, used on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a door that stays fixed. If that is what you need, the Kwikset 898DA Dakota dummy handleset matches the same Dakota styling, and the Emtek 3002 Memphis and Weslock 6695 Belmont are dummy sets from other lines. There is also a Kwikset 899DA Dakota lower handleset with a Tustin interior lever if you want the handleset look without a deadbolt.
14) Is there a keypad or smart lock version of the Dakota style handleset?
The 687DA Dakota is a mechanical keyed set, no electronics. For a touchscreen or app controlled entry on a similar handleset format, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock line pairs a touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset: the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone version and the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Those fit 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, a different thickness range than the Dakota's 1-3/4 inch.
15) If I am standardizing several units on one key, can I order multiple Kwikset Dakota handlesets keyed alike?
Yes. Keying is selected at order time as keyed different or keyed alike, and there is an optional field for an existing key code if the new sets need to match keys already in service. Because SmartKey re-keys on the door with the lock still mounted, you can also re-key units later at turnover without replacing hardware, and the cylinder accepts either KW1 or SC1 keys.
16) Which handleset should I order if the door does not need a key - a back door or an interior passage opening?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota is a keyed single cylinder handleset, so it is more hardware than a non-keyed opening needs. For a handleset look without a key, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function unit. For a door that is purely decorative or inactive, the Weslock 6695 Belmont handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest handleset with New Heaven lever are both dummy function. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise handlesets are dummy function as well.
17) What is the difference between the Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset and a mortise entry trim like the Baldwin 6542 Tremont?
They prep the door differently. The Kwikset 687DA Dakota is a handleset with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, sized to standard bored door preparations. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is entry mortise trim, which goes on a door mortised for a lock body, and is also specified for a 1-3/4 inch door. Baldwin offers the 6542 Tremont in a single cylinder entry version and a double cylinder entry version, where the Dakota is single cylinder only. Confirm which prep the door already has before choosing.
18) Is there a keyed entry handleset with an adjustable backset besides the Kwikset Dakota?
Yes. The Kwikset 687DA Dakota latch is adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch. The Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 is a keyed entry handleset with adjustable backset. Sure-Loc also lists the Alta AT507 tubular handleset and the Coral CR507 handleset, both with adjustable backset. All four cover the same bore spacing question the Dakota does, so the choice comes down to trim style and interior configuration.
19) We want to stop issuing keys to tenants - what handleset replaces the Kwikset 687DA Dakota with an electronic deadbolt?
The Kwikset 687DA Dakota uses SmartKey Security and ships with two keys. For a keypad opening with a handleset below it, Yale Real Living offers the Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset in several communication options: BYRD226NRRX is standalone, BYRD226CBARX is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and BYRD256 CBARX is a key free Wi-Fi version with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim. The BYRD226 and BYRD256 CBARX units cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, where the Dakota is specified at 1-3/4 inch, so verify the slab thickness before swapping a fleet of doors.
20) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock the same thing as the Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset?
No. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt - the lever itself is passage function and the key work is in the separate deadbolt, and it covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors in Grade 2. The Kwikset 687DA Dakota is a single cylinder handleset with a gripping thumbpiece trim and a Grade 3 handleset deadbolt. The two serve different door appearances and different trim footprints, so one will not drop into the other's prep.
21) What finishes does the Kwikset 687DA Dakota handleset come in?
Five: Polished Brass (605), Antique Brass (609), Venetian Bronze (510), Satin Nickel (619) and Satin Chrome (626). Venetian Bronze and Satin Nickel are the usual matches for recent builder hardware, while Polished and Antique Brass suit older traditional openings. The Dakota is a traditional style set, so it reads correctly alongside existing brass or bronze trim rather than contemporary flat hardware.
22) What tools do I need to install a Kwikset Dakota handleset on a door that already has a handleset?
A screwdriver, assuming the door is already bored for a handleset. The Dakota installs in minutes on existing prep because the backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches. New doors need the full bore, and Kwikset publishes a drilling template plus an installation sheet and guide for the 687DA. Remember the interior pack is a separate order, so have both halves on site before you pull the old set off.
23) Looking for a solid brass entry handleset as an alternative to the Kwikset Dakota - what is comparable?
Deltana lists several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass. The Deltana 810871 Montego is another handleset in the same family and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset 687DA Dakota is a traditional style single cylinder handleset with SmartKey Security, which lets the cylinder be re-keyed on the door; the Deltana handsets are chosen on material and series instead.
