Kwikset 258SQT-26DS.STRKP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 258 Downtown deadbolt fit my existing door prep, or do I have to drill a new hole?
The 6AL latch that ships with the Downtown deadbolt has an adjustable backset, so it covers both standard door preps at 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches without redrilling. Those are the two backsets found on virtually every residential entry door, so if you are pulling off an old deadbolt you set the latch to match what is already bored and go. Installation is screwdriver only.
2) Can I key the Kwikset Downtown SmartKey deadbolt to match the Schlage keys my tenants already carry?
Yes. SmartKey re-key technology on the Downtown deadbolt works with either the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so a property manager running a building on SC1 keys can bring this lock onto that key rather than issuing a second key. Re-keying is done on the lock in seconds with no cylinder removal, which is what makes it practical across a fleet of units at turnover.
3) Is a 1 inch throw deadbolt going to reach my existing strike?
The Downtown deadbolt throws 1 inch, which is the full residential throw and reaches into a standard 1 inch deep strike pocket. A full lip round deadbolt strike is included in the pack, so if the old strike is worn or the wrong shape you are not sourcing one separately. If your jamb was previously drilled for a shorter-throw builder bolt, deepen the pocket to a full inch so the bolt seats all the way.
4) Is the Kwikset Downtown deadbolt rated for a commercial opening or apartment corridor door?
It carries ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA, which is the top residential rating for security, durability and finish, and the lock is built for residential use. For a commercial or institutional opening where a spec calls out ANSI Grade 1, look at a commercial bolt instead: the Accentra D111, the Delaney LM Series Grade 1, or the Cal-Royal CRB800 heavy duty single cylinder. On unit entry doors in multi-family, the Downtown is in its intended application.
5) The Kwikset 258 is single cylinder - what do I order if the door has glass next to it and code calls for double cylinder?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is keyed on the outside with a thumb turn on the inside, so it is not a double cylinder lock. For an opening that needs a key on both sides, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter DB2000 Series double cylinder is a Grade 2 deadbolt over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. For contemporary square trim in double cylinder, the Baldwin Reserve DC.CSD is a double cylinder contemporary square deadbolt.
6) My facility needs a fire rated deadbolt - can I use the Kwikset 258 Downtown?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is a residential deadbolt certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA for residential security, durability and finish. Where a fire rated deadbolt is required, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw carrying a fire rating for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder that is also fire rated, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 258 Downtown square deadbolt if I need a commercial Grade 1 single cylinder instead?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is a residential single cylinder deadbolt, key outside and thumb turn inside, carrying ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA residential certification. For an opening that has to meet a commercial Grade 1 spec with the same cylinder-by-thumbturn operation, the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt in the D Series, and the Dexter DB1000 Series single cylinder is a Grade 1 cylinder-by-thumbturn deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. Both keep one-key-outside, turn-inside operation while moving the opening onto a Grade 1 lock.
8) I key my building to Schlage C - what deadbolt should I use instead of the Kwikset 258 SmartKey?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown uses SmartKey Security re-key technology and is compatible with the Kwikset KW1 or the SC1 keyway. If the building standard is the Schlage C keyway, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder-by-thumbturn deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder. For a small format interchangeable core opening, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Kwikset 258 Downtown deadbolt but will not work in the same door prep?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is a tubular bored deadbolt with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset latch that installs in a standard cross-bore door prep. Several deadbolts that read as alternates need a different opening: the Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt, and the Codelocks CL200 is a surface mounted deadbolt with key override. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike, not a lock at all. Confirm the door is bored for a tubular deadbolt before treating any of these as a swap.
10) The Kwikset 258 fits 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset - what if my door is thicker than a standard 1-3/4 inch?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown latch adjusts from a 2-3/8 inch to a 2-3/4 inch backset to fit standard door preparations. For a thicker door, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Measure the stile thickness before ordering so the tailpiece length matches the door.
11) What single cylinder deadbolt should I standardize on across a classroom or school building instead of the Kwikset 258?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is a residential deadbolt with SmartKey. For a classroom function opening, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt in the D100 Series with an adjustable backset and cylinder-by-thumbturn operation, and the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty classroom function version in the D200 Series with single cylinder operation. The Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder, and the Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) My door prep has square corner cutouts for the latch faceplate - will this deadbolt work?
Both ways. The 6AL latch ships with two interchangeable faceplates, round corner and square corner, so it drops into a routed square mortise or a drilled round one without chiselling the edge of the door. That matters most on replacement work where the previous latch left a specific cutout you do not want to enlarge.
13) What finishes does the Kwikset Downtown square deadbolt come in for matching the rest of my hardware?
Six finishes: Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, Matte Black, Satin Chrome, Bright Chrome and Satin Brass. The square, low profile Downtown trim is a contemporary look, so if the other openings in the building wear traditional round rosettes the shape will read differently even in a matching finish. Bravura's 310RC Elite is a contemporary round deadbolt if you want the modern finish family in a round trim.
14) Does the Kwikset 258 SmartKey deadbolt come with keys and a strike, or do I need to order those?
Everything for the opening is in the box: two keys, the 6AL adjustable latch with both faceplates, and the STRKP strike pack containing the full lip round deadbolt strike. Nothing else is required to hang it on a bored door. If you are standardizing a building on one key, order the units on the same keyway and re-key them to your key with the SmartKey tool after install.
15) I want a square contemporary deadbolt but need Grade 2 or better for a rental - what are my options?
The Downtown 258 is the SmartKey route, and self re-keying is the reason most landlords pick it at turnover. If the requirement is a graded commercial bolt in a square contemporary trim, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn, and the Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 square trim single cylinder. Those give you the square look without SmartKey, so re-keying goes back to a locksmith or a pinning kit.
16) What is the difference between the Kwikset 258 Downtown square and a round contemporary deadbolt?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is the square contemporary trim version, and its latch includes both round-corner and square-corner faceplates so the latch face can match either door prep. Where the round trim is wanted instead, the Bravura 310RC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary round deadbolt with cylinder-by-thumbturn function, the Baldwin Reserve DC.CRD is a double cylinder contemporary round deadbolt, and the Brinks Raleigh Series E2401 is a transitional round single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. The function is the same cylinder-and-turn arrangement; the escutcheon shape is what changes.
17) Is there a simpler deadbolt than the Kwikset 258 Downtown for an interior or low-traffic door?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is built for exterior doors where keyed entry and security are needed, with SmartKey re-key technology and a 1 inch throw. Where the opening does not need that, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn over the same door thickness range - useful where the turn has to be operable without tight grasping.
18) I want keyless entry instead of the Kwikset 258 keyed deadbolt - what are the options?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is operated by a key on the outside and a thumb turn inside, with two keys included. For an opening where you would rather not issue keys, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel rated medium duty, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and for multihousing the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID smart electronic deadbolt. The Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override.
19) Instead of the Kwikset 258 deadbolt, what covers an opening that needs a deadbolt plus a latch in one lock?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is a deadbolt only, thrown by key outside or the interior turn piece, with no latching function. Where the door needs both, the Falcon H2101 is an entrance interconnected lock with a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in the H2 Series, and the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in entrance function. For an exit-side opening where no key is wanted outside, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
20) What Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolts work as a step up from the Kwikset 258 Downtown for rental turnovers?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is a residential single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and SmartKey re-keying, which lets a unit be re-keyed at turnover without pulling the lock. If a commercial Grade 2 lock is preferred for the same cylinder-by-thumbturn opening, the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in the DBX Series, the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard, the Deltana CL200LA is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Bravura 910005 is a Grade 2 rectangle single cylinder deadbolt.
21) The Kwikset 258 Downtown needs a full bore through the door - what if only one side can be drilled?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is a keyed deadbolt with a cylinder outside and a turn piece inside, so it needs the door bored through. Where only one face can be prepped or the opening does not need an inside turn, the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt. For a surface applied option that avoids a cross-bore entirely, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override.
22) Does the Downtown deadbolt need to be handed, and does it work on an inswing and outswing door?
No handing. A deadbolt has no latch bevel and no lever to orient, so the same 258 goes on a left or right hand door and on an inswing or outswing leaf. What you do set at install is the backset, anywhere from 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inches, and which faceplate corner matches your door prep.
23) Which alternatives to the Kwikset 258 Downtown come in a satin nickel or matte black to match the rest of my doors?
The Kwikset 258SQT Downtown is offered in Satin Nickel, Matte Black, Venetian Bronze, Satin Chrome, Bright Chrome and Satin Brass. Among comparable deadbolts, the Delaney LM Series Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt is a dull chrome US26D finish, and the Delaney LU Series Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt is a stainless steel US32D finish - both are the brushed silver-tone family that pairs with satin nickel and satin chrome trim rather than a black finish.
