Kwikset 407CNL-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Kwikset 407CNL Carson lever handed, or can I use one part number for left and right hand doors?
One part number covers both. The Carson lever is reversible, so the same lockset handles a left-hand or right-hand door and you set it during install. For a property manager buying a case of these for a hallway or closet run, that means no handing to track on the order.
2) Can I use the Kwikset 407CNL Carson lever on a 20 minute fire rated door?
Yes. The Carson passage lever carries a 20 minute fire rating and a UL 3-hour fire rating, so it can go on rated corridor and closet doors in a light commercial building. It's also ADA compliant, which matters for the lever operation requirement on accessible routes.
3) Is a Grade 3 lever like the Kwikset 407CNL enough for a commercial building, or do I need Grade 2 or Grade 1?
Grade 3 is the light commercial and residential tier, which is what the 407CNL Carson is certified to under ANSI/BHMA. It's fine for apartment interiors, offices, closets, and low traffic corridors. For a school, hospital, or a public corridor that gets cycled hard all day, step up: the Falcon B101 and Accentra 5301LN Augusta are Grade 2 passage levers, and the Falcon K101, Falcon T101, Corbin Russwin CL3110 and Design Hardware X75 are Grade 1 passage levers.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 407CNL Carson passage lever from another brand?
The Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011 is the nearest match on paper: a Grade 3 passage leverset, and it comes in a satin nickel finish, which is one of the three finishes the Carson 407CNL is offered in alongside venetian bronze and satin chrome. Both are non-keyed passage levers for hallway and closet openings where nothing needs to lock. If you want the same passage function in a heavier ANSI grade instead, the Bravura Atlanta BVR-BV333002 and the Hager 2510 are both Grade 2 passage levers.
5) The Carson passage lever is Grade 3 - what should I use on a high traffic corridor door instead?
Step up to a Grade 1 passage lever. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, non-handed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Falcon T101 is also Grade 1 heavy duty passage with pressure release levers. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. All four keep the same passage function as the Carson 407CNL - lever always free, nothing to lock.
6) I need a bathroom or bedroom lever, not a passage lever - what takes the place of the Carson 407CNL there?
The Carson 407CNL is passage function with no locking mechanism, so it will not serve a bath or bedroom. For privacy, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever on the 5048 rose covers the same opening in a decorative trim. If the room needs a key from the outside instead, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lever and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What comes in the box with the Kwikset 407CNL Carson lever, and do I need to buy a strike separately?
The strike is included. The Carson passage set ships with the RCAL adjustable latch and an RCS 3031 round corner strike, so a wood door with a round corner strike pocket needs nothing else. If your existing frame has a square corner strike cut, you'll want to swap in a square corner or full lip strike to match the existing mortise rather than patching the jamb.
8) I need a passage lever that matches the other hardware in my building. What finishes does the Kwikset Carson 407CNL come in?
Three: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, and Satin Chrome. Satin Nickel is the usual match for existing brushed nickel trim, Satin Chrome reads brighter and cooler, and Venetian Bronze is the dark oil-rubbed look. Buying a fleet for a corridor, pick one and stay with it, the Carson family carries the same lever shape across the finishes.
9) What's a good alternative to the Kwikset 407CNL if I want the same passage lever in a traditional decorative style?
For a residential or decorative look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose is the step up in trim, and Bravura offers several Grade 2 passage leversets: the Atlanta and Orlando on a round rose, the Tampa on a square rose, and the Miramar in Satin Brass. Callan's Asheville is another Grade 3 passage lever in Satin Nickel if you want to stay at the same duty tier as the Carson.
10) I need matching levers on a closet door that doesn't need a working latch. Does Kwikset Carson have a dummy version?
The 407CNL Carson is the passage function, a working latch with no locking. For a false door or an inactive leaf where the lever is just a pull, you need a dummy trim instead. Options we stock include the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series Grade 2 single dummy, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy in left or right hand.
11) Is the Kwikset 407CNL Carson keyed, and can it be keyed alike with the rest of my building?
No cylinder at all. The Carson 407CNL is a non-keyed passage set, so there is nothing to key and nothing to add to a master key system. If you're standardizing a keyway across a property, keep the Carson on the closets and hallways and pick a keyed entrance or storeroom function for the doors that actually need to lock, such as the Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom lever or the Hager 2580 storeroom lever.
12) My door is thicker than standard - which passage lever covers a wider door thickness range than the Carson 407CNL?
The Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the widest range in the comparable levers. The Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever handles 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For thicker commercial doors specifically, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever is rated 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Carson 407CNL adjusts on backset - 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch - which is a different dimension than door thickness.
13) Will a dummy lever work in place of the Kwikset Carson 407CNL passage lever?
No - a dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch behind it, so it will not hold a door closed the way the Carson 407CNL does with its RCAL latch and RCS 3031 strike. Dummy levers such as the BEST 7KC single dummy trim, the BEST 9K 1DT Grade 1 single dummy, the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley BN5051 Grade 2 dummy are for inactive leaves and closet doors held by a ball catch or magnetic catch. Use one of those only where nothing needs to latch; otherwise the passage lever is the right part.
14) Which passage lever should I standardize on across a building instead of the Carson 407CNL?
For a facility standard on interior passage doors, the Accentra Augusta 5301LN and 4601LN are both Grade 2 passage levers, from the 5300 and 4600 series respectively, so you can carry one trim design across a keyed line later. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with non-handed levers, and the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 passage lever with the Sierra lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Carson 407CNL is Grade 3 and reversible for left and right hand doors, which suits interior residential and light commercial openings in the same program.
15) Is a keypad lever an alternative to the Carson 407CNL for a closet or storage room?
It answers a different need. The Carson 407CNL is non-keyed passage - the lever is always free and there is no access control at all. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in a passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors. Choose a keypad set when you want to restrict who opens the door without issuing keys; choose the Carson passage lever when the opening only needs a latch and an ADA compliant lever.
16) I need a classroom or storeroom function lever - can I use the Carson 407CNL?
No. The Carson 407CNL has no locking mechanism, so it cannot hold a classroom or storeroom function. For a classroom, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching keyed design for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and 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. For a storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell lever.
17) What is the decorative alternative to the Kwikset Carson passage lever for a residence?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the decorative counterpart - same passage function, in Baldwin's Estate trim. It is also available as a right hand half dummy and a left hand half dummy on the matching 5048 rose, so you can carry the design onto inactive leaves and closet doors. Emtek's Classic Brass Cortina lever and Arts and Crafts lever are sold as dummy pairs in the same decorative vein. The Carson 407CNL takes a traditional style lever and is reversible, so one part covers either hand of door.
18) What is the difference between the Carson 407CNL and the Bravura passage leversets?
They divide on grade and on lever trim shape. The Carson 407CNL is a Grade 3 reversible passage lever with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and the RCAL latch and RCS 3031 round corner strike in the box. The Bravura passage leversets are Grade 2: the Atlanta BVR-BV333002 and Orlando BVR-BV333602 use round trim, the Tampa BVR-BV333702 uses square trim, and the Miramar BV940-106 comes in a US4 satin brass finish with round trim. Pick on the rose shape you are matching and the grade the opening calls for.
