Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon Keyed Entry Lever SmartKey with SquareRose, 6AL and RCS Strike

The Lisbon lever is reversible, so one lockset covers both left and right hand doors. No handing to specify when you order, which is why it works well for property managers buying a batch for mixed openings.

Kwikset lists the Lisbon 156LSL as a residential product, and it is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. For a commercial opening where a spec calls for Grade 1, look at a heavy duty cylindrical lever instead, such as the Falcon T101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series, both Grade 1.

SmartKey is Kwikset's owner rekeying cylinder. With the existing working key and the SmartKey tool, you reset the lock to a new key in seconds without pulling the cylinder or the lock off the door. For a landlord doing tenant turnovers, that means no locksmith call between residents, and every SmartKey lock in the building can be brought onto one key.

It is a cylindrical lockset, the standard bored lock format used on North American residential and light commercial doors, which means a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. If your door is already prepped for a bored knob or lever, the Lisbon goes into the same hole.

Not usually. The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is keyed entry with a push button on the inside, so the outside lever can be left unlocked. A storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires a key on every entry. The Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell design for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt in the same thickness range. For institutional and utility rooms, the Dexter C1000 asylum function is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 keyed entry lever built for residential use. If the opening calls for a commercial keyed lever, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever in entry/office function. Cal-Royal AG00 is another Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset. The trade-off is keying: the Lisbon uses Kwikset SmartKey, which the owner can rekey without removing the lock, while the commercial options use conventional cylinders.

The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is keyed entry only, so a non-locking opening needs a passage lever. Grade 2 passage levers with square trim include the Bravura Tampa, which pairs a square rose with a passage function, and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando use round trim in the same Grade 2 passage configuration. On the commercial side, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Augusta trim. None of these will match the Lisbon lever profile exactly, so mixing them on adjacent doors in the same corridor is a visible difference.

The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. For Grade 1 cylindrical levers, the Dexter C1000 series covers keyed functions including classroom for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and classroom security in the same thickness range. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Those last two are passage function, so they do not replace the keying the Lisbon provides.

The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is a key-operated lever using SmartKey. For code-based entry instead, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and Emtek offers a Classic keypad leverset. Mechanical keypad options that need no batteries include the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, available with an adjustable backset, and the Lockey 2835 pushbutton lever for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch with ADA compliance and a double combination version. The Lockey units are passage function, meaning the outside lever is released by code rather than by key.

No. The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is a keyed entry lever, a function where the inside push button controls the outside lever. A classroom function is keyed from the outside to lock and unlock the outside lever with no inside button. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Dexter C1000 classroom is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For lockdown from inside the room, Dexter also offers a C1000 classroom security version at Grade 1.

Two: Polished Chrome and Satin Chrome. Both are bright/brushed silver tones, so they pair with the square rose trim on contemporary interiors. If you need brass or bronze to match existing hardware, this particular Lisbon square rose configuration will not get you there.

Yes, it has a push button on the interior side. Push to lock, and the key retracts it from outside. Same push button arrangement Kwikset uses on the privacy version of the Lisbon.

RCS is Kwikset's round corner strike, a plate whose corners are radiused to drop into a routed frame prep without squaring off the cutout. It ships with the 156LSL, so for a like for like swap in a frame already cut for a round corner strike you do not need to buy a strike separately.

The Lisbon 156LSL is the keyed entry function only. For non-keyed openings at the same Grade 2 level, ZenSupply carries the Accentra 5301LN Augusta passage lever, the Falcon B101 passage lever, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim. None of them match the Lisbon's square rose styling, so if aesthetic match across the suite matters more than grade, stay within Kwikset's Lisbon collection.

No. The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is a keyed entry lever with a working latch and push button, so it cannot serve an inactive leaf. For a non-operating door you want dummy trim: the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, and the BEST 9K 1DT is Grade 1 heavy duty. Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered in left hand and right hand versions, so handing matters when ordering that one. Dummy trim has no latch and no strike, so it does not hold a door closed.

The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is keyed entry, which is not appropriate for a bath or bedroom where you want a thumbturn or button inside and an emergency release outside. Privacy options include the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock, which is fire rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. The Lisbon does include a push button on its keyed entry function, but that is a locking feature on an entry door, not a privacy set.

The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is a lever handle with square rose trim. For a keyed knob in the same entry role, the Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Keep in mind that levers are generally specified where ADA operable-hardware requirements apply, since a knob requires grasping and twisting.

It can, with a change in appearance. The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is a contemporary lever on a square rose offered in polished chrome and satin chrome. Deltana entry levers are a decorative alternative: the Manchester 6201, Morant 6411 and Linstead 6431 all cover doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch in entry function, and the Claremont 5851 is also an entry lever. These are styling-driven traditional designs rather than the sleek contemporary contour of the Lisbon, and they use conventional keying rather than SmartKey.

The Kwikset 156LSL-SQT Lisbon is a keyed entry lever on its own, with a 6AL latch and RCS strike. If you want a lever and deadbolt together on one entry door, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo. Ordering the Lisbon for a door that needs a second point of security means specifying a deadbolt separately, and keying the two alike is a question to settle at order time.

Microban is an antimicrobial treatment built into the finish of the Lisbon lever to inhibit bacteria growth on the surface. It does not replace cleaning, and it is not a disinfectant claim for the door. Normal wipe down still applies. It is the reason this lever gets specified in multifamily and hospitality common areas.
