Kwikset Interconnected

So your local fire marshall or building inspector is requiring a lock that allows occupants to exit without having to unlock a deadbolt? This is increasingly becoming a pretty standard requirment for group or retirement homes and apartment complexs. What the building inspector or fire marshall is expecting is a lockset where the deadbolt mechanism is connected to the lever handle or knob below - an interconnected lock. This allows the occupant to simply turn the knob or lever to escape in an emergency without having to unlock the deadbolt. We have a variety of interconnected locks available, though you will want to double check your door prep before ordering to make sure you're getting the right set or your door. The most important measurement is the Center to Center measurement of the bore holes. Kwikset Interconnected locks will fit a 5 1/2 Inch CC bore hole door prep.
