Kwikset 816 SQT Contemporary Key Control Deadbolt – Polished Chrome SmartKey Lock – 1-Piece Set – New in Box

Take Control of Who Has a Key — Without Calling a Locksmith

If you manage a rental property, run a multi-family building, or simply want professional-grade key control at home, the Kwikset 816 SQT Contemporary Key Control Deadbolt is built for exactly that situation. This dual-cylinder lock features a hidden top cylinder for property managers or landlords and a visible bottom cylinder for tenants — each re-keyable independently in seconds using the included SmartKey re-key tool. No locksmith. No downtime. No hassle. The sleek square faceplate in Polished Chrome (Color Code 26) delivers a clean, modern look that fits contemporary residential architecture without compromise. Available here at More4less Outlet as a brand-new, in-box unit sourced through verified retail liquidation channels — also found in our Home & Living and Gifts & Special Finds collections.

Features & Benefits

• Dual-Cylinder Key Control: A hidden top cylinder gives property managers or landlords independent key access, while the tenant-facing bottom cylinder operates separately. Both re-key in seconds without removing the lock from the door — eliminating costly locksmith calls between tenants.

• Contemporary Square Design: The 816 SQT's clean square plate profile in Polished Chrome integrates naturally with modern door hardware and architectural styles — a professional finish that holds up in high-traffic residential settings.
