Kwikset 690T-26DS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 690T combo pack fit my existing door prep, or do I need to re-drill?
The 690T's latch is adjustable between a 2-3/8 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which covers both standard residential door preps, so in most cases you drop it into the existing bores with no drilling. Kwikset supplies it with a round corner faceplate latch (RCAL) and a round deadbolt strike (RCS), so it suits a door edge that was routed with a radius corner. If your existing latch faceplate is square cornered, the round corner plate will not fill that mortise and you would need to chisel the corners square or use a square drive latch instead.
2) Can I key the Kwikset 690T deadbolt and knob to match the rest of my building's Kwikset locks?
Yes. The 690T uses SmartKey Security, so the cylinders re-key yourself in seconds with the learn tool and a working key, no cylinder removal and no locksmith. It accepts either the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the SC1 (Schlage) keyway, so a property manager standardizing a building on one key can bring these onto an existing KW1 or SC1 key without changing every other lock. It ships with two keys.
3) Is the Kwikset 690T Tylo combo strong enough for an apartment or rental exterior door?
The 690T carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification, the residential grade, and Kwikset lists it for exterior doors where keyed entry and security are needed. That is the right level for apartment and single-family entry doors. It is not a commercial-duty lock. For a leasing office, a corridor door, or anything taking real traffic, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lock like the Corbin Russwin CK4851 Grade 1 entrance/office knob or the BEST 8K Series Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob.
4) What is in the Kwikset 690T combo pack, and do I need to buy the deadbolt separately?
It is a combination pack: a keyed entry Tylo knob plus a single cylinder deadbolt, both keyed alike out of the box, with the RCAL adjustable latch, the round deadbolt strike, and two keys. Nothing else to order for a standard opening. The deadbolt is single cylinder, key on the outside and a thumbturn on the inside, so there is no key needed to get out.
5) If a tenant moves out, can I change the locks on a Kwikset 690T without pulling the hardware off the door?
That is the main reason to spec this one. SmartKey lets you re-key the knob and the deadbolt in place, in seconds, using the current working key and the learn tool, then teach it a new key. The lock stays on the door and the cylinder never comes apart. For a landlord doing turnovers, it replaces a locksmith call or a hardware swap on every changeover, and it works across both the KW1 and SC1 keyway versions.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 690T knob and deadbolt combo from another residential brand?
The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian Knob combo pack is the nearest match. Like the Kwikset 690T, it is sold as a combo of a keyed knob and a deadbolt with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Kwikset 690T pairs a Tylo knob with a single cylinder deadbolt, uses an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset latch, and carries SmartKey re-keying compatible with the KW1 or SC1 keyway. The Schlage F500 uses the Plymouth deadbolt with a Georgian knob and is keyed to Schlage's own system, so a property manager standardizing a building on one key should pick the brand that matches the keys already in circulation.
7) If I only need the keyed knob and already have a deadbolt on the door, what should I order instead of the 690T?
Order a standalone keyed entry knob. The Cal-Royal BER00 is an entrance/office Grade 3 knob lock cut for the Kwikset keyway, which keeps it on the same key system as a Kwikset-keyed building, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Pamex FTF Baron and the Master Lock BC series biscuit knob are also Grade 3 keyed entry knobs, the Pamex in an entrance/office function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Master Lock in an entrance function. The Kwikset 690T is a combo that brings its own single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and round strike, so on a door that already has a deadbolt you would be buying a second one.
8) Is the Kwikset 690T rated for a commercial corridor or a tenant common area?
The 690T is a Grade 3 residential unit, built for apartment and house entry doors. For a corridor or common area that takes constant traffic, the heavy duty Grade 1 options are the BEST 8K Series entrance function single cylinder knob lock and the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 1 entrance/office knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch with a conventional cylinder. Note that the 690T brings a deadbolt with it and these commercial knobs do not, so a common area door needing auxiliary locking would take a separate deadbolt.
9) Is a single cylinder deadbolt like the Kwikset 690T the right choice for a door with glass next to it?
Not always. The 690T's deadbolt is operated by a key on the outside and a thumbturn on the inside. On a door with sidelites or glass panels within reach of the turn piece, many jurisdictions want a double cylinder or a keyed interior instead, since an intruder can break the glass and turn the thumbpiece. On a solid door with no adjacent glazing, the single cylinder is the safer choice because it lets occupants exit without hunting for a key.
10) What else could I buy instead of the Kwikset 690T combo pack if I want the whole door done in one box?
The closest cross-brand equivalent we carry is the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian Knob combo pack, also a combo function with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, listed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If you only need the keyed knob and already have a deadbolt, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance knob lock cut for the Kwikset keyway, so it will take the same KW1 keys, and the Master Lock BC Series Grade 3 keyed entry knob is another single-lock option.
11) Can I use the Kwikset 690T on a bedroom or bathroom door?
No. The 690T is a keyed entry function meant for exterior doors, so it locks with a key from outside and it comes paired with a deadbolt you would have no use for on an interior opening. For a bath or bedroom you want a privacy knob such as the Pamex FTF Grade 3 privacy knob or the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob, both listed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a hall or closet door with no locking at all, a passage set like the Bravura Albany Grade 2 passage knobset is the correct part.
12) The door is a bedroom or bathroom, not an exterior entry. What takes the place of the 690T there?
A privacy knob, not a keyed combo. The Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim over the same thickness range, and the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Each locks from the inside with no key cylinder outside. The Kwikset 690T is built for exterior doors where keyed entry is needed and carries a key cylinder plus a deadbolt.
13) Which knobsets look like the Kwikset 690T but will not lock the door?
The dummy and passage knobs. The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed knob, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy ships as a pair. Passage knobs such as the Pamex FTF Baron passage, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage knob latch the door but have no locking mechanism at all. The Kwikset 690T is keyed entry with a single cylinder deadbolt worked by a thumbturn on the inside, so none of these are substitutes for it on a door that has to lock.
14) I need a knobset for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch. What works where a residential combo does not?
Look at the knobs that publish a wider thickness range. The Falcon X101 heavy duty Grade 1 passage knobset with interchangeable core covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CK4851 Grade 1 entrance/office knob and the CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, as do the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry. The Kwikset 690T latch is adjustable from 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset to fit standard door preparations, which is a backset range rather than a door thickness range.
15) What is the difference between the Kwikset 690T and a storeroom function knob lock?
Function. The Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty version with a 2-3/4 inch backset; on a storeroom function the outside knob stays locked at all times and takes a key every time, with no way to leave it unlocked. The Kwikset 690T is a keyed entry combo whose deadbolt works from a key outside and a turn piece inside, which suits a unit entry where the occupant needs to secure the door from within. Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim is also a storeroom function but is trim for an exit device rather than a standalone lock.
16) Is there a keyed knobset that does not need a key at all for a rental turnover door?
The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, so access is changed by resetting a code rather than issuing keys. The Kwikset 690T takes the opposite approach: it ships with two keys and uses SmartKey, which lets the lock be re-keyed on site in seconds to a KW1 or SC1 keyway, so a turnover is handled by re-keying rather than replacing the lock. Which fits depends on whether the site wants to keep issuing physical keys.
17) If the door needs a fire rated knob, does the Kwikset 690T qualify?
For a fire rated opening, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty knobset are the fire rated options, both in passage/closet function. The Kwikset 690T is a Grade 3 residential keyed entry combo with a single cylinder deadbolt, specified for exterior doors where keyed entry and security are needed.
18) Which Grade 2 keyed knob would step up from the Kwikset 690T on a high traffic apartment entry?
The Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical ball knob is keyed and non-clutching for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Callan Edgewood and Callan Roland are Grade 2 entrance knobsets, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Kwikset 690T is Grade 3 and includes the deadbolt, so moving to one of these means specifying a deadbolt separately and keying it to the same system as the knob.
19) What finishes does the Kwikset Tylo 690T combo come in for matching other doors in a house?
Four finishes: Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Bright Brass, and Antique Brass. Satin Nickel is the usual match for contemporary interiors and Bright Brass for older builder-grade trim. All four are the same Tylo knob shape, so a landlord replacing hardware one unit at a time can hold the same profile across a building and just pick the finish already on site.
20) What matches the Kwikset 690T for a classroom or a door where the outside must be lockable by key from outside only?
The Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 classroom cylindrical ball knob lock is the classroom function option, keyed and non-clutching, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim is also a classroom function, with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, but it is trim that mounts to an exit device rather than a complete lock. The Kwikset 690T is an entry combo whose deadbolt is thrown by a turn piece on the interior, so it does not provide classroom function.
21) How does the Kwikset 690T Tylo knob compare with a decorative brass knobset for a period building?
The Tylo is a plain round knob offered in Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Bright Brass and Antique Brass. For a period entry, the Deltana 6901 Portland Knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial and Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with a 2-3/8 inch backset are passage function. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is solid brass with a 3 inch projection in passage function. Note that the Baldwin and Omnia units named here are passage or dummy trim, so a keyed exterior door still needs a keyed lock like the 690T combo.
