Kwikset 780-26D.STRKP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 780 deadbolt fit my existing door prep, or do I need to know my backset first?
The 6AL latch that ships with the Kwikset 780 is adjustable, so it covers both standard backsets, 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch. You don't have to measure ahead of ordering. It drops into standard bored deadbolt preps and installs with a screwdriver.
2) Is the Kwikset 780 single cylinder deadbolt keyed or thumbturn on the inside?
Key outside, thumbturn inside. That makes it a single cylinder deadbolt, which is what most codes want on a residential exterior door since you can get out without a key. If you need key on both sides, look at a double cylinder unit such as the Callan 210S or the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder.
3) Can I rekey the Kwikset 780 myself, and does it take SC1 keys?
Yes. The 780 uses SmartKey Security, so you rekey it yourself in seconds without pulling the cylinder or taking it to a locksmith. It's offered in the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage-style SC1 keyway, so if the rest of your building is already on SC1 you can keep one key. Two keys come in the box.
4) Will the Kwikset 780 deadbolt latch into the strike I already have on the jamb?
It throws a full 1 inch bolt and ships with a round deadbolt strike plus the STRKP strike pack, so you're not depending on the existing hardware. The latch faceplate has round corners. If your jamb is prepped for a square-corner faceplate or a full-lip strike, plan on re-chiseling the mortise to suit the round corner plate.
5) Is the Kwikset 780 deadbolt good enough for a commercial opening, or is it residential only?
It's built and certified for residential use, ANSI/BHMA Grade 2, which is the top residential rating for security, durability and finish. For an apartment or single family exterior door it's appropriate. For a commercial or institutional opening where a spec calls Grade 1, go to something like the Cal-Royal CRB800 heavy duty single cylinder or the Dexter DB1000 Grade 1.
6) What is a comparable Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt if I need something other than the Kwikset 780?
The Kwikset 780 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt, keyed outside with a thumbturn inside. Close equivalents in the same grade and function include the Arrow DBX61, a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn function, the Cal-Royal CB160 Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard, and the Dexter DB2000 Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt, which lists a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The 780 differs in offering SmartKey re-key technology so the cylinder can be re-keyed on the door.
7) I need a deadbolt for a commercial opening with heavier duty requirements than a residential Grade 2 - what should I use instead?
The Kwikset 780 is a residential Grade 2 deadbolt. For a commercial opening calling for Grade 1, options include the Falcon D111, a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with adjustable backset and cylinder x thumbturn function; the Accentra D111 Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with 2-3/8 inch backset; the Cal-Royal CRB800 Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch; and the Dexter DB1000 Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors.
8) The door is glass-adjacent and I cannot use a thumbturn on the inside - what replaces the Kwikset 780 there?
The Kwikset 780 is keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, so it is not the right choice where an intruder could reach the turn. For a key on both sides, look at the Hager 3214 Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with Schlage C keyway, the Dexter DB2000 Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Delaney LU Series Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt. Verify local egress code before specifying double cylinder on a required exit door.
9) My master key system runs Schlage C keyway - is the Kwikset 780 still an option or should I pick a different deadbolt?
The Kwikset 780 uses SmartKey re-key technology compatible with Kwikset KW1 or SC1 keyway options. If you are standardizing an existing Schlage C system and want a factory Schlage C cylinder, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with 1 inch throw and Schlage C keyway, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder. For a small-format interchangeable core system instead, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep supplied less core.
10) Can the Kwikset 780 deadbolt go on a fire rated door?
The 780 is UL fire rated, so it is acceptable on a rated door assembly as far as the lock itself goes. The rest of the assembly, the door, frame and closer, still has to carry its own rating.
11) What finishes does the Kwikset 780 deadbolt come in for matching the rest of my doors?
Six finishes: Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Bright Brass and Matte Black. If you're standardizing a building, pick one finish and it will run across every unit since the 780 is the same body in each.
12) I manage a building already keyed to Schlage C. Is there a deadbolt alternative to the Kwikset 780 that takes an SC keyway?
The 780 itself can be ordered in the SC1 keyway, so it will run on a Schlage C system without changing your keys. If you'd rather stay with a commercial-style body, the Hager 3215 single cylinder is a Grade 2 deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and a Schlage C keyway, fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. What the 780 gives you that the Hager does not is self-rekeying at the door.
13) What is the difference between the Kwikset 780 and a classroom function deadbolt?
The 780 is a straight entry deadbolt: key outside, turn piece inside, so anyone inside can retract it by hand. A classroom function deadbolt like the Falcon D211 or the Corbin Russwin DL3211 is cylinder by blank plate, meaning it can only be operated with a key and there is no inside turn. Use the 780 on dwelling exterior doors; use the classroom type where you don't want the bolt thrown or retracted from inside without a key.
14) Is there a cheaper single cylinder deadbolt than the Kwikset 780 that still meets Grade 2?
Several Grade 2 cylinder-by-thumbturn deadbolts cover the same function: the Arrow DBX61, the Cal-Royal CB160 with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard, the Bravura 310B Elite in a traditional round trim, and the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. None of those offer SmartKey self-rekeying, which is the reason most buyers choose the 780 for a rental portfolio with tenant turnover.
15) Is a Grade 3 deadbolt like the Cal-Royal ED500 the same thing as the Kwikset 780?
No. The Kwikset 780 is certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2, while the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with 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. All three are keyed outside with a thumbturn inside, but the grade differs, so if your spec or unit turnover standard calls for Grade 2 the ED500 and LSD will not satisfy it. The LSD is worth a look if the ergonomic turn matters for accessible units.
16) I want a squared-off deadbolt instead of the round trim on the Kwikset 780 - what are my options?
The Kwikset 780 uses round trim and a round deadbolt strike. For square or contemporary trim at the same Grade 2 level, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt with cylinder x thumbturn function, the Bravura rectangle deadbolt is a Grade 2 single cylinder in a rectangular trim, and the Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. The Bravura 310RC Elite is the contemporary round alternative if you want updated styling but a round rose.
17) Will the Arrow E60 work in place of the Kwikset 780 on an exterior entry door?
No. The Kwikset 780 is keyed from the outside for exterior doors where keyed entry is needed. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock with blank plate on the outside and thumbturn inside, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so it locks and unlocks only from the inside with no key access. It suits exit-only doors, not an entry you need to open with a key. The Callan Model 205S one-sided half-bore deadbolt is similarly non-keyed.
18) I want keyless or code entry rather than a keyed deadbolt like the Kwikset 780 - what should I look at?
The Kwikset 780 is a mechanical deadbolt operated by key outside and thumbturn inside. If you want code or credential entry on the same opening, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with mechanical code entry and key override, and the Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt in a brushed steel finish rated medium duty. For multifamily credential systems, the Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt.
19) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - is the Kwikset 780 still the right deadbolt?
The Kwikset 780 latch is adjustable from a 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset to suit standard residential door prep. For thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Deltana 7312KA2 Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Confirm the backset your door is bored for before ordering either.
20) I need a deadbolt and a knob or lever working together on one door instead of a standalone Kwikset 780 - what covers that?
The Kwikset 780 is a standalone deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, mounted above the knob or lever bore. If you want a single interconnected unit, the Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock with a single cylinder deadbolt, so the deadbolt and latch retract together on the inside lever. That is the usual choice for multifamily entry doors where single-motion egress is required.
21) What comes in the box with the Kwikset 780 deadbolt?
The deadbolt body with key cylinder outside and thumbturn inside, the 6AL adjustable latch with round corner faceplate, the STRKP strike pack with a round deadbolt strike, and two keys. Mounting screws and the install go in with a screwdriver, no special tools.
22) Does the BEST 8T tubular deadbolt tube do the same job as the Kwikset 780?
No. The Kwikset 780 is a complete single cylinder deadbolt supplied with the 6AL latch, strike pack and two keys. The BEST 8T is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, a part of a deadbolt assembly rather than a finished lock. Similarly, the Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip for latchbolt and deadbolt functions, and the Baldwin 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer - all accessories, not replacements for a full deadbolt.
