Kwikset 740PSKSQT-26DS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Kwikset Pismo 740PSK knob keyed on both sides or just outside?
The Pismo knob with square rose is a keyed entry lockset, so the outside knob takes the key and the inside knob has a turn button to lock it. It's meant for doors that need security, entrances, entryways and main doors. If you want a knob with no key at all for a bedroom or bath, that's a privacy set like the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob, and for a hall or closet with no locking at all a passage set like the Dexter C2000 passage knob is the right function.
2) Does the Kwikset Pismo SmartKey knob need to be ordered left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The Pismo knobset is universal handing and fits both right handed and left handed doors, so one part covers every swing in the building. That matters if you're buying a dozen for a property and don't want to sort them by opening.
3) Will the Pismo knob latch work in a door bored for a drive-in latch with no faceplate mortise?
Yes. The 6AL latch ships with 3 interchangeable faceplates, round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar, so it drops into a door prepped for any of the three without you routing a new mortise. On a retrofit where the old latch left a square corner cut, snap on the square faceplate; on new bore work with no faceplate mortise, use the drive-in collar.
4) What is a keyed entry knob equivalent to the Kwikset Pismo 740PSK for a rental unit front door?
The Kwikset Pismo knobset is a keyed entry cylindrical knob lock with SmartKey re-key technology and ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification. Close equivalents in the same keyed-entry knob format include the Callan Edgewood, a Grade 2 entrance knobset, and the Callan Roland, also a Grade 2 entrance function. The Dexter C2000 Series entry/office ball knob is a Grade 2 keyed cylindrical knob that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The differences are trim design and the re-key method: the Pismo re-keys at the door with SmartKey, while the others use conventional cylinder re-keying.
5) The Pismo knob is Grade 2 residential - what should I use instead on a commercial corridor or tenant suite door?
The Pismo knobset is a Grade 2 residential cylindrical lock. For heavy commercial traffic, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function single cylinder knob lock, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Where the door needs to stay locked from the outside at all times, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom knob lock with a single cylinder. Those use conventional or interchangeable cylinders rather than SmartKey.
6) Which knobsets look like a substitute for the Kwikset Pismo entry knob but will not lock the door?
Several knobs share the look but not the function. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset and the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 dummy knobs are dummy function, meaning fixed trim with no latch and no cylinder. The Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg and Emtek Georgetown and Providence crystal knobsets are sold as dummy pairs, and the Emtek Porcelain knobs come as two knobs per set with a threaded rod. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is offered in passage and privacy functions, which latch but take no key. The Pismo is a keyed entry function.
7) What keyed knob can I use instead of the Pismo on a thicker door than 1-3/4 inch?
The Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick with a conventional cylinder. The Deltana 3381 Egg knob and Deltana 6171 Round knob are entry function knobs for the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. Where the opening also needs a passage-only knob at greater thickness, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. These use conventional or interchangeable cores rather than SmartKey re-keying.
8) What is a fire rated cylindrical knob alternative when the Pismo does not meet the door spec?
The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a fire rating, passage/closet latch function and a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with a fire rating and an interchangeable core, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are passage function, so on a fire rated opening that must also lock, the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob and the BEST 8K Series Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob are the keyed heavy duty knobs to look at.
9) Does a Kwikset Pismo entry knob key alike with hardware from another brand?
The Pismo knobset uses SmartKey Security re-key technology and is compatible with Kwikset KW1 or Schlage SC1 keyway options, so it can be brought onto either keyway. Among other brands, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock is supplied with a Kwikset keyway, which is the keyway to match when keying alike across mixed hardware.
10) Is a Kwikset Pismo knob a straight swap for a Schlage F Series entry knob?
Both are residential cylindrical knobsets on the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so the trim swaps without new door prep, and the Pismo's SmartKey cylinder can be re-keyed to an SC1 key so the Schlage keys already in the tenant's pocket keep working. If you'd rather stay in the Schlage family, the F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes.
11) What finishes does the Kwikset Pismo square rose entry knob come in?
Six finishes: Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, Matte Black, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome and Satin Brass. Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze are the two that most commonly match existing Kwikset trim already hung in a house, and Matte Black is the one to pick if the rest of the openings were updated to black hardware. The square rose is the styling cue here, so pair it with square-rose or square-plate trim elsewhere on the door rather than round rosettes.
12) Do I need a locksmith to install a Kwikset SmartKey Pismo knob?
No. The Pismo entry knobset installs in minutes with just a screwdriver, and it comes with the 6AL latch and an RCS strike, so the strike plate for the jamb is in the box. Re-keying afterward is done with the SmartKey tool and a working key, not by disassembling the lock.
13) What is SmartKey on a Kwikset lock actually protecting against?
SmartKey Security is the cylinder technology in the Pismo knob, and it protects against advanced break-in techniques while letting the owner re-key the lock themselves in seconds. For a landlord that means a tenant turnover doesn't require a new lockset, and for a homeowner it means a lost key is a two-minute fix rather than a service call.
14) I want the same Pismo look on my closet and bedroom doors, not just the front door. What do I order?
The Pismo square rose set is the keyed entry function only, so it isn't the part for a closet or a bedroom. Match the openings by function: a passage knob for hall and closet doors with no lock, and a privacy knob with a push-button for bedrooms and baths. Cal-Royal's BER Series covers both in the same family (BER00 entrance/office keyed, BER20 privacy), and Cal-Royal also offers a Kwikset keyway on the BER00 so it stays on the same key as the entry doors.
15) Can a knob like the Kwikset Pismo be used on a fire rated door?
The Pismo is a residential entry knobset and carries no fire rating in its record. For a rated opening, specify a lock that states one, such as the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob or the Falcon X101 Grade 1 knobset, both of which are listed as fire rated.
16) My building has interchangeable core cylinders. Will the Kwikset SmartKey Pismo work in that system?
No. SmartKey is a fixed Kwikset cylinder re-keyed with the SmartKey tool, not an interchangeable core, so it can't be pinned into an SFIC or LFIC master system. For a facility running cores, use a lock built for them, such as the Falcon X101 Grade 1 knobset with interchangeable core or the BEST 8K Series entrance knob.
17) What is a Grade 3 keyed knob alternative to the Kwikset Pismo for a low-traffic interior door?
For openings that do not need Grade 2 cycle performance, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, which keys alongside existing Kwikset-keyed doors. The Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lockset for the same door thickness range, and the Master Lock BC Series biscuit knob is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob. The Callan Canova and Callan Santo are Grade 3 entrance knobsets. The Pismo carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification and adds SmartKey re-keying, which none of those Grade 3 options list.
18) I do not need the door keyed - what is the passage or privacy version to pair with a Pismo entry knob?
The Pismo knobset is a keyed entry function, so bedroom, bath, hall and closet doors on the same job need a different function. Non-keyed knobs in the same cylindrical format include the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob and the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob, both Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Pamex FTF Baron in passage and privacy functions, both Grade 3 for the same door range. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock. For a closet or a false door with no latch at all, the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) Is there a knob lock that works like the Pismo entry knob but without issuing keys to tenants?
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 thick, so access is by code rather than by key. The Pismo knobset is a keyed entry knob with SmartKey re-key technology, which lets the cylinder be re-keyed at the door in seconds instead of being pulled and pinned, and it accepts Kwikset KW1 or Schlage SC1 keyway options.
20) I need a keyed knob for a classroom or a school office instead of the Pismo - what covers that function?
The Dexter C2000 Series classroom ball knob is a Grade 2 keyed cylindrical knob in classroom function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, used where the opening already has a Sargent 28 Series exit device rather than a bored lock. The Kwikset Pismo knobset is a keyed entry function residential lock, which unlocks with a turn button or key from the inside rather than under classroom function keying.
21) Is there a knob and deadbolt combination pack instead of buying the Pismo entry knob on its own?
The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, which pairs the keyed knob and deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Kwikset Pismo is the entry knobset alone, with the 6AL latch and RCS strike, and its latch carries three interchangeable faceplates - round corner, square corner and drive-in collar - so it adapts to the existing door prep.
22) The Pismo has a square rose - which other knobs come with squared or rectangular trim?
The Pismo knob is offered with a square rose in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Bright Chrome, Satin Brass and Matte Black. The Bravura Dallas is a passage knobset with rectangle trim in US4 Satin Brass, Grade 2. Most of the comparable knobs use round trim, including the Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg passage knobsets and the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset, all Grade 2, so trim shape is the point to confirm when matching hardware already hung on adjacent doors.
