Kwikset 83373-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the Kwikset 83373 SmartKey cylinder plug, and does it come with the whole deadbolt?
The 83373 is the plug alone, the keyed core that drops into a Kwikset SmartKey deadbolt. No deadbolt body, no bolt, no strike, no thumbturn. Buy it when the lock itself is fine and you need to swap or replace the keyed portion, not when you need a complete deadbolt.
2) Will the Kwikset 83373 plug work in a double cylinder deadbolt?
No. The 83373 is a single cylinder part, meaning one keyed side with a thumbturn on the interior. A double cylinder deadbolt is keyed on both faces and takes two plugs, so this one won't complete that lock.
3) What keyway does the Kwikset SmartKey plug take, and can it be keyed to my Schlage keys?
KW1/SC1. The SmartKey plug accepts either keyway profile, so it can be re-keyed to an existing Kwikset KW1 key or to a Schlage SC1 key without changing the plug. That's the practical value for a property manager who has one building on Kwikset and another on Schlage keys.
4) Can I key several Kwikset 83373 plugs to one key across a set of doors?
Yes, keyed alike is an option at no charge when ordering, and you can supply a key code if you're matching an existing system. Order keyed different instead when each door needs its own key. Because these are SmartKey, you can also re-key them yourself later in seconds without pulling the plugs.
5) Is the Kwikset 83373 SmartKey plug rated for commercial traffic?
It's a residential-duty part. For apartments, single-family rentals, and light-use interior openings it's the right piece. For a high-traffic commercial entrance a property manager is better served by a commercial-grade deadbolt cylinder rather than this SmartKey plug.
6) Does the Kwikset SmartKey plug help against picking or bumping?
SmartKey Security is the reason to choose this plug. Kwikset states it protects against advanced break-in techniques, which is the difference between it and a plain pin tumbler plug. It carries no stated ANSI grade, so specify it on the strength of the SmartKey cylinder rather than a grade number.
7) What finishes does the Kwikset 83373 SmartKey plug come in?
Two: silver and satin nickel. Silver is the one that blends with polished chrome and bright nickel deadbolts, satin nickel with brushed hardware. Since only the plug face shows once installed, match it to the existing cylinder collar rather than the whole lock.
8) Is the Kwikset 83373 an electronic or mechanical cylinder?
Purely mechanical. There's no motor, no battery, and no wiring in the plug, so it doesn't turn a standard deadbolt into a smart lock and it isn't the service part for an electronic Kwikset deadbolt.
