Kwikset announced the launch of Raya, a new textured door knob designed to bring a modern, luxurious look and tactile appeal to everyday door hardware.

Raya features diamond knurling around the edges. The company said the details and feel make the knob suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, closets and exterior entrances. Raya is available in keyed entry, passage, privacy and dummy functions, allowing homeowners to carry a consistent design throughout the home.

Keyed entry is designed for exterior-facing doors or other spaces requiring added security, while privacy models feature push-button interior locking for bedrooms and bathrooms. Non-locking passage knobs are ideal for hallways and closets, and non-turning dummy knobs provide a coordinating option for pantries, French doors and other applications where only a pull is needed.

Kwikset said that for front entrances, Raya is also offered in a combo pack, pairing the keyed entry knob with a streamlined, low-profile deadbolt. Interior and dummy interior packs pair with Kwikset handlesets, extending the same textured look to the inside of the front door.

Keyed entry and combo pack configurations feature Kwikset’s patented SmartKey Security, which protects against advanced break-in techniques and allows homeowners to re-key the lock themselves in seconds. Entry, privacy and passage functions feature Kwikset’s premium chassis, which uses dual compression springs to help keep the knob wobble-free over the lifetime of the product while enhancing its strength and rotational feel.

Entry, passage and privacy configurations fit standard doors 1 3/8 to 1 3/4 inches thick, with an adjustable latch that accommodates 2 3/8- or 2 3/4-inch backsets. Customers can select from Satin Nickel and Matte Black finishes, with a Matte Black and Gunmetal mixed finish available on select interior configurations.

Raya entry, passage and privacy products are Grade AAA certified by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association for security, durability and finish. Raya products are also backed by a lifetime mechanical and finish warranty.

“Door hardware is one of the few design details homeowners interact with throughout the day, so how it feels can be just as important as how it looks,” said Amanda Archer, group manager of product marketing at Kwikset. “With Raya, we focused on creating that sense of quality in every interaction. The diamond knurling adds a distinctive, premium detail while the refined overall design makes it versatile enough to work across a range of modern spaces.”
