Kwikset 99170-002 SmartCode 917 Keypad Keyless Entry Traditional Residential Electronic Lever Deadbolt Alternative with Tustin Door Handle and SmartKey Security, Venetian Bronze

Fumbling for keys in the dark or worrying about who has a copy of your house key is a frustrating daily reality for many homeowners. The Kwikset 99170-002 SmartCode 917 keypad lever offers a perfect solution, combining keyless convenience with solid residential security in a classic Venetian Bronze finish that suits a wide range of door styles.

What makes the Kwikset 99170-002 SmartCode 917 stand out is its thoughtful design as a deadbolt alternative built around the Tustin lever handle. Unlike traditional deadbolts, this unit installs as a single lever with an integrated electronic keypad, meaning you get keyless entry without having to retrofit your entire door hardware setup. The SmartKey Security technology allows you to re-key the lock yourself in seconds using the included re-keying tool, so you can match it to your existing Kwikset locks or quickly change access after a tenant moves out. It fits standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch bore hole and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch adjustable backset, making it compatible with most residential doors without special modifications.

• Keyless entry for up to 30 unique user codes, so every family member or trusted visitor gets their own access code without needing a physical key.
• One-touch locking lets you secure your door instantly with a single button press, removing the guesswork about whether you locked up before leaving.
• SmartKey re-keying takes under a minute and works with any Kwikset-compatible key, giving you control over who can access your home at any time.
• Auto-lock feature can be programmed to secure the door automatically after a set interval, adding a reliable layer of protection you can count on.
• Venetian Bronze finish is scratch-resistant and coordinates well with most exterior and interior door hardware, maintaining a polished look over time.
• Runs on four AA batteries with a low-battery indicator alert, so you are never caught off guard by a dead lock when you need it most.

The Kwikset 99170-002 SmartCode 917 is best suited for homeowners, renters with landlord approval, and property managers who want a practical upgrade from keyed entry without the complexity of a full smart home integration. It does not require Wi-Fi or a hub, which means setup is straightforward and ongoing reliability is not tied to your internet connection. If you frequently have guests, dog walkers, or service workers coming through, the ability to issue and delete individual codes is a genuine everyday convenience.
