Black Keyed Entry Door Knobs and Door Levers

Our black keyed-entry hardware pairs a modern matte-black aesthetic with reliable lock mechanisms. Whether you prefer a classic knob or contemporary lever, you can find locking options that fit standard residential doors, match existing interior finishes, and deliver secure, keyed access.

Choosing black for exterior or interior doors ensures a consistent, sleek appearance across your home — especially if other hardware (hinges, hinges, cabinet pulls) is black. Matte black locks hide fingerprints and resist wear under heavy use, making them ideal for high-traffic doors and exterior entries.

All items in this collection are compatible with standard US door backsets and thicknesses. Many include keyed cylinders, hardened latch mechanisms, and fully finished strike plates. Pairing a keyed-entry knob or lever with a matching deadbolt provides maximum security and a cohesive design aesthetic.

“Keyed-entry” means the knob or lever uses a keyed lock cylinder, allowing you to lock and unlock the door from the outside with a key — ideal for exterior doors or any door needing secure access.

Matte black finishes are generally low-maintenance and resist visible fingerprints and smudges compared to polished finishes. With proper installation and finishing, black keyed-entry hardware retains its appearance even under heavy use.

Yes. All keyed-entry knobs and levers in this collection fit standard backsets (2-3/8″ or 2-3/4″) and typical US residential door thickness (1-3/8″ to 1-3/4″). They come ready to install with latch kits and strike plates.

For maximum security — especially on exterior doors — we recommend pairing a keyed-entry knob or lever with a matching deadbolt. The knob/lever provides latch locking; the deadbolt gives extra strength against forced entry.
