This Elite Security 2-pack keyed-entry ball knob set lets you re-key two exterior or frequently locked interior doors with matching hardware at one budget price. Each knob is a classic ball-style lever with a keyed cylinder on the outside and a turn-button on the inside, fitting standard residential 2-1/8" cross-bore doors. The polished chrome finish is the most common Elite Security trim option and coordinates with other Kwikset-compatible hardware on the same door.

• Keyed-entry ball knob lockset, 2-pack (both keyed alike)
• Polished Chrome finish on a stamped-steel knob and rosette
• KW1 keyway - same as Kwikset, so a locksmith can re-pin to match your existing Kwikset or Weiser key without changing the cylinder
• Adjustable backset: fits both 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" door prep
• 2-1/8" cross bore, 1" edge bore (standard residential prep)
• Fits door thickness 1-3/8" to 1-3/4"
• ANSI Grade 3 residential security rating
• Reversible for left- or right-hand doors
• Iron nickel-plated keys (typically 2 keys per knob, 4 total)

Installation Tip: Drop the latch into the edge bore first with the sloped face matching the closing direction (slope hits the strike). Set the backset tab on the latch to 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" before installing. Then slide the exterior knob tailpiece through the latch hub, mate the interior rose, and snug the two long mounting screws evenly so the rose sits flush without binding the latch. Confirm the strike plate aligns to the latch with a 1/8" gap on the stop side before final tightening.

Finish Selection Tip: Polished chrome is bright and reflective with a cool-tone finish that suits modern, contemporary, and high-gloss trim packages. It coordinates with chrome plumbing fixtures and brushed-or-polished steel light fixtures. Clean with a soft damp cloth; chrome polish is fine for stubborn fingerprints.

Security Note: Ball knobs are NOT ADA-compliant - the round profile cannot be operated with a closed fist, so they are not approved for commercial or multi-family code-required openings. For ADA-required doors, step up to a lever set. For exterior doors, pair the keyed knob with a single-cylinder deadbolt and replace the factory 3/4" strike screws with 3" wood screws into the framing stud - the strike-screw upgrade is the single biggest improvement against kick-in attempts. KW1 keyway means a locksmith can key these alike to an existing Kwikset, Weiser, or other KW1-compatible cylinder so you carry one key instead of several.
