About Product Overview

The Dakota entry handleset from Kwikset pairs a full handleset design with a single-cylinder deadbolt, giving your front door both a substantial grip and real security in one coordinated unit. The Satin Nickel finish on all-metal construction, including the faceplate, holds up to daily use and outdoor exposure without looking cheap after a season or two of weather.

It's built to work on standard residential doors between 1.375 and 1.75 inches thick, and the adjustable backset means it fits a range of existing door prep without a special order. Left or right-handed installation covers whichever way your door swings. The pick-resistant cylinder adds a layer of protection against common break-in methods, though buyers should know it carries an ANSI Grade 3 rating, which is the residential standard rather than commercial-grade security.

This is a solid pick for homeowners replacing a worn or outdated entry set who want matching hardware and dependable function without stepping up to a heavier-duty commercial lock. Trim rings are included for a clean fit against the door face.

  • Fits doors 1.375 to 1.75 inches thick with adjustable backset

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
