Unboxing and Review of the Kwikset 780 Deadbolt

Mr. Locksmith explores the features and benefits of the Kwikset 780 lock, compared to the Kwikset 660. The host discusses its grade 2 classification, heavy-duty construction, and traditional rekeyable lock mechanism. The episode also touches on the unique aspects such as a larger strike, long screws for door reinforcement, and a special key for core removal. Viewers are invited to join the Mr. Locksmith YouTube membership for exclusive content, including advanced locksmith techniques and business insights.

Kwikset 780 vs. Kwikset 660: What’s the Difference?

The Kwikset 780 is a contractor-grade deadbolt, meaning it’s built for professional locksmiths and contractors rather than just the general retail market. You’ll often see similar locks sold in big-box hardware stores, but they come in flashy display packages designed for DIY customers. The contractor version is built for performance, not just aesthetics.

Right out of the box, here’s what you’ll notice:

✅ Heavier-duty construction than the 660
✅ A more robust bolt
✅ Larger, reinforced strike plate
✅ Longer 3-inch screws for securing into the door frame

Traditional Rekeyable Cylinder – No SmartKey

One standout feature of this Kwikset 780 is that it is NOT a SmartKey lock. Instead, it has a traditional pin and tumbler mechanism, meaning locksmiths can easily rekey it using a pin kit. Many locksmiths and security professionals prefer this system because SmartKey locks can have vulnerabilities when it comes to bypassing and forced entry.

Another useful feature? Kwikset includes a special key with a notch that allows you to remove the lock core without taking the entire lock apart. This is a great time-saving feature, especially for professionals doing multiple rekeys.

Enhanced Security with a Stronger Strike Plate & Screws

The Kwikset 780 comes with a reinforced strike plate and four 3-inch screws to secure it deep into the door frame. While this is a step up from the Kwikset 660, I always recommend reinforcing the door with a Don-Jo wrap or other aftermarket door reinforcement products for even better security.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for an affordable but solid Grade 2 deadbolt, the Kwikset 780 is a great choice. It offers better durability than the Kwikset 660, a traditional rekeyable cylinder, and stronger hardware right out of the box.
