Key Control Deadbolt

The Kwikset Key Control Deadbolt offers a smart alternative to traditional master keying. It features two separate cylinders (Tenant & Property Manager) allowing for more tenant key cuts than a traditional master key system. The new proprietary keyway enhances security, and the Property Manager Cylinder is concealed when not in use.

Benefits:

Perfect for multi-family dwellings, student housing, assisted living & rental properties.

How to Access Property Manager Cylinder:

  1. Insert the SmartKey Tool into the slot at the bottom of the cylinder cover.
  2. Rotate the cover clockwise to expose the Property Manager Cylinder.
  3. Use the tool to rotate the Property Manager Cylinder counter-clockwise back to the user's keyway when appropriate.
