Kwikset 818PTHLIP-15S.STRKP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset come with the interior side, or do I have to order that separately?
Exterior only. The 818PTH Prescott is the outside handleset with the deadbolt cylinder and grip, and it needs a matching Kwikset interior pack to be a complete working entry set. Order the interior trim alongside it or the door will not have a thumbturn or inside knob/lever. Two keys come with the exterior half.
2) Do I need to specify left hand or right hand for the Kwikset Prescott 818PTH handleset?
No handing to specify. The Prescott handleset is reversible, so the same part works on an inswing or outswing door of either hand. That is useful if you are buying several for a building and do not want to track handing per opening.
3) Can I key the Kwikset 818PTH SmartKey handleset to match the Schlage keys I already carry?
Yes, within the SmartKey system. SmartKey Security lets you re-key the cylinder yourself in seconds, and it accepts either the Kwikset KW1 or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so an existing SC1 key can be taught to the lock. You can also order it keyed alike to the rest of the order, or keyed different, and supply a key code if you are matching an existing system.
4) How secure is the Kwikset Prescott handleset deadbolt, and how far does the bolt throw?
The deadbolt is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with a 1 inch throw, which is the deep throw you want reaching into a reinforced strike on an exterior door. Kwikset rates the Prescott at Grade AAA for residential security, durability and finish. SmartKey Security is built to resist advanced break-in techniques including bumping.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott single cylinder handleset from another brand?
The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is the nearest straight swap, and it comes as a complete set with the interior lever rather than exterior only. It is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, against the Kwikset's Grade 1 deadbolt at 1-3/4 inch. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel is another entry-function option at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. If you specifically need the self re-keying cylinder, stay with the Kwikset SmartKey.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset if I need a full set with the interior trim included?
The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott is the exterior half only, so the interior pack is ordered separately. If you want a single-cylinder keyed entry handleset that arrives with its interior trim in the box, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison pairs the keyed handleset with an Accent lever, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest pairs it with a Hudson knob. Both are single-cylinder keyed entry handlesets like the 818PTH.
7) The Kwikset 818PTH is Grade 1 - what handleset alternatives carry a different grade rating?
The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. Among other keyed entry handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset are both Grade 2, as is the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever. If a facility spec calls out a grade, that difference is the first thing to check.
8) Is a Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry trim a drop-in replacement for a Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset?
No. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont, in both its single cylinder and double cylinder entry versions, is mortise trim - it dresses a mortise lock body that has to be pocketed into the door edge. The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott is a bored handleset with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset latch prep. Both are entrance function and both suit a 1-3/4 inch door, but the door preparation is not the same, so one does not drop into the other's holes.
9) Is the Kwikset 818PTH handleset single cylinder or double cylinder, and can it go on a door with glass?
Single cylinder. Key on the outside, and the inside is operated by a thumbturn from the interior pack. On a door with glass within reach of the deadbolt, many jurisdictions push toward a double cylinder instead, so check your local requirement before you settle on the 818PTH for a glass front or full-lite door.
10) Is the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset OK for a commercial building or apartment corridor door?
It is a residential product. The Prescott 818PTH is built for single-family and light multi-family exterior entries, not for commercial openings where a Grade 1 commercial mortise or cylindrical lock and a fire-rated assembly are specified. For apartment unit entry doors in a fire-rated corridor, a commercial lockset is the right call.
11) What strike plate comes with the Kwikset Prescott 818PTH, and will it match my existing frame cutout?
A 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner strike ships with it, plus a round deadbolt strike. If your jamb is already mortised for a square corner strike, you will need to either dress the mortise or reuse the existing strike. The deadbolt latch faceplate itself is covered either way, since both round and square corner faceplates are in the box.
12) I want the Prescott look on a door that does not need to lock. What do I order instead of the 818PTH?
Kwikset makes non-keyed Prescott exterior halves in the same trim: the 819PTH dummy handleset includes the handle and deadbolt appearance, the 814PTH is the lower handle only with no deadbolt, and the 815PTH pairs the lower handleset with a Tustin or Hancock interior lever. Emtek also carries brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function, including the 3002 Memphis and 3006 Manhattan, if you want a different style.
13) Should I use a handleset like the Kwikset Prescott or a separate deadbolt and knob on a front door?
A handleset gives you one continuous escutcheon carrying the deadbolt above and the grip below, so it covers both bores with a single piece of trim and reads as a front-door product. Separate deadbolt plus knob is cheaper to source and easier to mix and match, but leaves two smaller roses on the face. If your entry door already has the two standard bores at 5-1/2 inch spacing, a handleset is a direct dress-up. The Prescott specifically is a keyed entry handleset, so on a door with an existing deadbolt you are replacing both pieces, not adding to them.
14) I need a handleset for a door that does not need a key - what takes the place of the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott?
The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott is a keyed single cylinder entrance handleset. Where the opening does not need to be keyed - an inactive leaf, a double door, or a slab that locks elsewhere - the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever are dummy function, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function handleset. Emtek also offers dummy mortise entrance handlesets in the Memphis 3002 and Hamilton 3004 styles.
15) I want keyless entry on the front door instead of the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset - what handleset does that?
The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott uses SmartKey Security cylinder and ships as a keyed single cylinder set. For an electronic front door, the Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset is Wi-Fi function, the BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen with no network. All three of those Yale Ridgefield sets fit a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door.
16) What solid brass handleset can I use in place of the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott on a traditional entry?
The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott is a traditional style entrance handleset finished in Satin Nickel, Matte Black, or Lifetime Polished Brass. If you want solid brass construction, Deltana offers entry handlesets in the Hanover 803871B, the St. Ann 815871, and the Kingston 825871, all entry function solid brass. The Deltana Montego 810871 handleset covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door.
17) Can I use the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock where I was going to put a Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset?
They serve different openings. The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott is an entrance function handleset with a single cylinder keyed exterior. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever is a passage function interconnected lock with a keyed deadbolt, Grade 2, for a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door - the lever always retracts the latch and the deadbolt does the locking, which is a common multi-family and apartment entry arrangement rather than a keyed-knob entry.
18) What finishes does the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott handleset come in?
Three finishes: Satin Nickel, Matte Black, and Lifetime Polished Brass. If you are matching a building's existing hardware, Satin Nickel and Matte Black are the two that read modern, while Lifetime Polished Brass suits traditional entries. All are the same Prescott traditional-style grip and plate.
19) Can one person install the Kwikset Prescott handleset, or does it need a locksmith?
A screwdriver does it. The Prescott installs in minutes on a door already bored for a handleset, and the adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset latch means no measuring guesswork on the bore. For a fleet of doors, the same reversible part covers every hand, so a maintenance tech can stock one item.
20) Does the Kwikset Prescott handleset hardware hold up to heavy hand contact in a rental or shared entry?
The trim carries Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That matters on a shared entry or a rental turnover. Durability-wise it is rated Grade AAA for residential security, durability and finish, with a Grade 1 deadbolt.
21) I need a knob rather than a handleset grip on the interior side - what compares to the Kwikset 818PTH Prescott?
The Kwikset 818PTH Prescott is the exterior handleset half and is reversible for either hand. Baldwin's Wesley handleset is offered as a complete entrance set two ways - the 180WYHXATK with an Alcott knob and the 180WYHXCYK with a Carnaby knob - so the interior knob style is chosen at order. Weslock also pairs its 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with a Hudson knob.
