A slim deadbolt still needs the right door prep
Kwikset's Midtown, Crosstown and Hometown deadbolts each have an assembled length of 0.5 in. That shared dimension does not give them the same face shape: compare height and width as well as length if you are replacing hardware within an existing trim outline.
The 11 deadbolts share a maximum door thickness of 1.75 in. Read the minimum thickness, bore and backset in the exact installation drawing too; exterior dimensions alone cannot answer whether the latch fits your door. Keying configuration and the interior operating hardware also need to match the door's use.
AAA and numeric grades are different choices here
Midtown and Uptown carry Kwikset's AAA label; the Contemporary Round deadbolt carries Grade 3. The finder keeps those labels separate rather than translating them into a common security rating. Its comparison comes from Kwikset documentation, without a break-in or wear trial.
Choose the finish and body shape after the installation details are settled. A matching grade label does not mean matching dimensions, and a compact exterior is no substitute for the correct locking and release arrangement.
Before you buy
Is AAA better than Grade 2?
The pages don't say how the two relate. Kwikset prints AAA in the same ANSI Grade field where other models show Grade 2 or Grade 3, so the finder keeps the three labels apart instead of ordering them; the certification details for the exact model are where to compare them. Ten of the 11 stand 2-7/16 to 2-11/16 in tall and just as wide. Kwikset labels three models Grade 3, three Grade 2 and five AAA. The three 660s are smallest. They're Grade 3, while four AAA designs are the shortest, 1/2 to 9/16 in long.
Will one of these fit my door?
Every model is rated for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 in thick, and the rectangular 258 Crosstown needs the most face room, 3-9/16 in tall by 2-25/32 in wide. Bore and backset aren't compared here, because Kwikset's cross-bore values disagree across related products, so hold the exact model's installation guide up to your door before you drill.
Do any of these take a key on both sides?
All eleven models are labeled Keyed One Side. For a different locking arrangement, check the exact model's installation guide and the applicable fire and egress requirements before buying.
