Kwikset 982-15S.DS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 982 deadbolt fit my existing door prep without redrilling?
The 982's RCAL latch adjusts between a 2-3/8 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into either of the two standard residential bore preps without drilling a new cross bore. Round corner faceplates come on the latch, and the kit includes a 5303 full lip strike plus a round deadbolt strike. Install is a screwdriver job.
2) Is the Kwikset 982 deadbolt fire rated for a unit entry door?
It's UL fire rated and carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification, which is the top residential grade for security, durability and finish. That combination is what property managers typically need on an apartment corridor entry door.
3) Can I rekey the Kwikset 982 to my existing building keys myself?
Yes, that's the point of SmartKey. You rekey the cylinder in seconds with the tool and an existing working key, no cylinder disassembly and no locksmith. SmartKey works with the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so if your building is already keyed on SC1 you can bring this bolt onto that system. Two keys ship with the lock.
4) Does the Kwikset 982 deadbolt have a key on both sides?
No. It's single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside. If you have glass beside or in the door and your local code or insurer wants a keyed interior, you need a double cylinder bolt instead, such as the Dexter DB1000 Series double cylinder (Grade 1) or the Callan Model 210S.
5) I need a Grade 1 deadbolt but my building is keyed on Schlage C, not Kwikset. What are my options?
Two ways to go. The 982 itself accepts the SC1 keyway through SmartKey, so it can be rekeyed onto a Schlage C system. If you would rather use a conventional cylinder, the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 deadbolt supplied with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder, fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and is fire rated.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt to the Kwikset 982 if I do not want SmartKey rekeying?
The Dexter DB1000 single cylinder deadbolt is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt supplied less core so you set the cylinder yourself. Both give you the same key outside, thumbturn inside operation and the same ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating as the Kwikset 982 without the SmartKey rekey feature the 982 carries.
7) I need a fire rated deadbolt for a commercial opening - what else besides the Kwikset 982 carries a fire rating?
The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch in a cylinder x thumbturn function. On the Hager side, the 3215 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and the Grade 1 Hager 3118 classroom deadbolt are both listed with a fire rating and fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Kwikset 982 is UL fire rated with a 1 inch throw and an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset.
8) My code official will not allow a thumbturn deadbolt on a glass-adjacent door - what do I use instead of the Kwikset 982?
Use a double cylinder deadbolt, which takes a key on both faces instead of the interior thumbturn the 982 uses. The Dexter DB1000 double cylinder is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder with a Schlage C keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Which deadbolt should I spec instead of the Kwikset 982 if the facility standardizes on small format interchangeable core?
Look at the Arrow E61 Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock, which comes with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana CL200LAIC Grade 2 single deadbolt supplied for an interchangeable core with a 2-3/4 inch backset, or the Delaney LM Series Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt. The Kwikset 982 is a SmartKey deadbolt keyed to the KW1 or SC1 keyway rather than an IC housing.
10) Is a 1 inch throw enough to meet code on an entry door?
The 982 throws a full 1 inch deadbolt, which is the standard commercial and code-referenced minimum for a residential entry deadbolt, and it's part of what earns the Grade 1 certification. Make sure the strike pocket in the jamb is drilled deep enough to take the full inch, otherwise the bolt won't fully extend and the security rating means nothing.
11) Is the Kwikset 982 heavy enough for a commercial opening, or should I use a commercial deadbolt?
The 982 is a Signature Series residential deadbolt certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and is meant for exterior doors where keyed entry and security are needed, which covers most multi-family and light commercial entries. For a true institutional opening, look at a commercial-grade unit instead: the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Design Hardware D1 Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with adjustable backset.
12) Can I standardize a whole building on one deadbolt and rekey units between tenants?
That's the strongest case for the 982. Because SmartKey lets maintenance rekey each cylinder on the spot at turnover, you avoid pulling cylinders or calling a locksmith between tenants, and every door stays on one Grade 1 fire rated bolt. Order the same finish across the property (Satin Nickel or Matte Black) so trim matches on every unit.
13) Is there a less expensive single cylinder deadbolt that still does key outside and thumbturn inside?
Yes. The Dexter DB2000 is a Grade 2 single cylinder cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. If Grade 3 is acceptable, the Cal-Royal ED500 has an adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All operate the same way as the Kwikset 982 but at a lower ANSI/BHMA grade.
14) Will the Arrow 460 or the BEST 8T work as a replacement for the Kwikset 982 deadbolt?
No, neither is a deadbolt lock. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with straight lip for latchbolt and deadbolt functions, and the BEST 8T is a tubular deadbolt tube component from the T Series rather than a complete lockset. The Kwikset 982 is a complete single cylinder deadbolt shipped with the latch, strike, and two keys.
15) I need a keypad or credential-based lock instead of a keyed deadbolt - what replaces the Kwikset 982?
The Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. These replace the key-operated cylinder of the Kwikset 982 with a code or credential; the 982 is a mechanical SmartKey deadbolt operated by key outside and turn piece inside.
16) What is the difference between the Kwikset 982 and the Falcon D111 or Accentra D111 for a school corridor door?
The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset, and the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt with a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 982 is also Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn with an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset, and it uses SmartKey rekeying on a KW1 or SC1 keyway, which is the point of difference if the facility keys to a commercial master system.
17) I want a deadbolt plus knob or lever in one unit rather than a standalone deadbolt like the Kwikset 982 - what is available?
The Falcon H2101 is a Grade 2 entrance interconnected lock that combines a single cylinder deadbolt with the lever trim in one assembly, so one motion retracts both. The Kwikset 982 is a standalone deadbolt operated by key outside and thumb turn inside and is installed alongside a separate knob or lever.
18) The door has no exterior keyed side - what deadbolt do I use in place of the Kwikset 982?
For an exit-only opening, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and thumbturn inside for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door is only bored on one face, the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt. The Kwikset 982 requires a keyed cylinder on the exterior face.
19) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - is the Kwikset 982 the right deadbolt or should I look elsewhere?
For thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Deltana 7312KA2 Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Kwikset 982 latch is adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset for standard residential door preparations.
20) What finishes does the Kwikset 982 SmartKey deadbolt come in?
Two: Satin Nickel and Matte Black. Satin Nickel is the easier match if the rest of your openings are on brushed chrome or nickel trim; Matte Black pairs with contemporary black lever and handleset packages.
21) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Kwikset 982 deadbolt?
No. A deadbolt has no handing, so left and right hand doors take the same part. The only two things you pick are finish and the backset setting on the latch, and the latch adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches after it's out of the box.
22) The Kwikset 982 comes in satin nickel and matte black - what other deadbolts give me a square or decorative trim option?
For square trim, the Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt, the Brinks Mendocino Series is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset, and the Callan 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt. For decorative cast trim, the Emtek Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt. The Kwikset 982 uses round corner faceplates and a round deadbolt strike.
23) Is a Codelocks CL200 surface deadbolt interchangeable with the Kwikset 982?
No. The Codelocks CL200 is a light duty surface deadbolt with key override that mounts to the face of the door, while the Kwikset 982 is a bored deadbolt that fits standard 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset door preparations with the bolt through the door edge. They use different door prep entirely, so one does not drop into the other's hole pattern.
