Kawneer KW050101 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kawneer KW050101 lock package fit a Kawneer door built before 1989?
No. The KW050101 short throw lock package is specified for Kawneer Standard Doors and 350 Hardware Doors manufactured after 1989. Kawneer changed door prep over the years, so a pre-1989 leaf needs the earlier service package instead. Check the fabrication date of the leaf before ordering, not just the door series.
2) What backset does the Kawneer KW050101 lock use?
It is built to a 1-1/8 inch backset, which is the narrow stile aluminum door dimension Kawneer specifies for these leaves. That is much shorter than the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets used on hollow metal and wood doors, so a standard commercial lock body will not drop into this prep. If the existing cutout in your stile is not 1-1/8 inch to the latch centerline, this is the wrong package.
3) What does "short throw" mean on this Kawneer lock package, and does it matter for my frame?
Short throw refers to how far the latch projects from the stile face. Kawneer pairs the short throw lock with door and frame preps cut for that shorter projection, so it engages the matching keeper depth on Standard and 350 Hardware doors after 1989. If your opening was prepped for a long throw lock, the short throw version will not reach the keeper reliably and you need the long throw package instead.
4) I manage a building with several Kawneer storefront doors. How do I know which ones take the KW050101?
Two things decide it: the door line and the build date. The leaf has to be a Kawneer Standard Door or 350 Hardware Door made after 1989, and the existing lock has to be the 1-1/8 inch backset short throw type. Pull the existing lock and measure from the stile face to the latch centerline. If it reads 1-1/8 inch and the leaf is a post-1989 Standard or 350, the KW050101 is the direct replacement across all of those openings.
5) Is the KW050101 a complete lock or do I have to buy the latch parts separately?
It ships as a complete lock package, which is why Kawneer sells it as a single service part number for swap-outs rather than piece by piece. That keeps a service call to one part order. Cylinders and keying are a separate consideration since those are specified to the building's keyway.
6) Is the Kawneer KW050101 a genuine factory part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Kawneer. KW050101 is the factory service part number, catalogued under Kawneer Service Parts, so it matches the original prep and hardware locations on the door it was built for. For property managers standardizing an aluminum entrance fleet, using the factory number avoids field drilling the stile.
7) Can I use this Kawneer lock package on a residential aluminum door?
It is a commercial part. The KW050101 is built for Kawneer commercial aluminum entrance doors, the kind used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, and government facilities. Residential entry doors do not use the 1-1/8 inch narrow stile prep this lock requires.
