Kwikset KWI-81306-003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Kwikset 660 deadbolt latch adjustable for both common backsets?
Yes. The Kwikset 660 Series deadbolt latch is an adjustable latch, so the same unit sets to either of the two standard residential backsets, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, without swapping parts. That matters if you are replacing a deadbolt and are not sure how far the bore center sits from the door edge.
2) Will a round face deadbolt latch drop into my existing door prep?
A round face (drive-in style) latch like the Kwikset 660 seats in a bored edge hole with no face plate mortise. If your door edge is currently mortised flat for a rectangular faceplate, a round drive-in latch will leave that pocket exposed, so it suits doors bored for a round latch or new prep.
3) Does this Kwikset part include the deadbolt cylinder and thumbturn?
No. Model 81306-003 is the latch component only, the bolt assembly that goes in the door edge. The keyed cylinder, thumbturn and strike are separate. Order it when you are replacing a damaged or wrong-backset latch behind a deadbolt that is otherwise fine.
4) I manage apartments with a mix of 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch deadbolt preps. Can I stock one latch for both?
Yes, that is the point of an adjustable latch. Stocking the Kwikset 660 adjustable latch in polished brass covers both common backset preps from one bin, so a maintenance tech does not have to identify the backset before heading to the unit.
5) Does a deadbolt latch have handing?
No handing to specify on the Kwikset 660 deadbolt latch. A deadbolt bolt throws straight out with no bevel or angled face, so it installs the same on a left or right hand door. Only the backset setting and the door edge prep matter.
6) Will the polished brass finish on this latch match my other Kwikset deadbolts?
The 660 Series latch here is polished brass, the same bright yellow brass tone used on Kwikset polished brass deadbolt trim. Only the latch face shows on the door edge, so the visual match matters mainly if you keep your doors standing open in a hallway or lobby.
