Kwikset 508HRL RDT SMT Contemporary Interconnect 780 Deadbolt and Hali Lever Set

The Kwikset 508HRL RDT SMT Contemporary Interconnect 780 Deadbolt and Hali Lever Set is a residential interconnected lock combining contemporary style with single-motion egress. Pressing the interior lever simultaneously retracts both the deadbolt and latch bolt, enabling fast exit without a separate deadbolt turn.

SmartKey Security™ resists picking and bumping and allows owner re-keying in seconds without a locksmith. The exterior deadbolt is key-operated; the interior uses a thumb turn. The Hali lever is fully reversible for right-hand or left-hand door installation.

Kwikset 508HRLRDT-26S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does an interconnected lock like the Kwikset 508HRL do that a separate deadbolt and lever don't?
On the 508HRL interconnect set, one downward pull of the interior Hali lever retracts the deadbolt and the latch bolt at the same time, so someone leaving in a hurry doesn't have to turn a thumbturn first and then the lever. Outside, the deadbolt is key operated with SmartKey and the lever is passage function, so it never locks. If you buy a deadbolt and a leverset separately you get the same two bolts but two motions to get out, and two separate preps to drill. This is a residential set, not a commercial one.
2) Will the Kwikset 508HRL interconnect fit my existing door holes, and what backset does it use?
The 508HRL uses an adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which covers both of the standard residential bore layouts, so it drops onto most existing prepped doors without redrilling the cross bore. What it does need is two bores in the door, one for the deadbolt and one for the lever, at the standard interconnect spacing. If your door is currently prepped for a single knob or lever only, you'll be boring a second hole for the deadbolt.
3) Is the Kwikset Hali lever handed, or does one part number cover both left and right doors?
One part number covers both. The Hali lever is fully reversible and installs on a right-hand or left-hand door, so you don't specify handing when you order and you don't have to keep two versions on the shelf for a building with doors swinging both ways. Reversal is done during install, not by ordering a different SKU.
4) Can I key the Kwikset 508HRL to the keys I already carry for my other units?
Yes, in two ways. The SmartKey cylinder can be re-keyed by hand in seconds without a locksmith, so you can bring the lock onto an existing key after it's installed. It's available in the Kwikset KW1 or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so pick the one that matches the keys already in your pocket. On the order you choose Keyed Different or Keyed Alike, and there's an optional field to give a specific key code, which is how a property manager gets a run of units on one key straight out of the box. It's a single cylinder deadbolt, so the interior side is a thumbturn, not a keyway.
5) Does the Kwikset 508HRL meet ADA lever requirements for a rental or multi-family unit?
The 508HRL set meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements, and it is a lever rather than a knob, which is the part of that requirement people usually care about, since a lever can be operated without grasping or twisting the wrist. It carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 rating. Note it is a residential-duty product, so for a commercial opening under a heavier spec you'd want a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lock instead.
6) I need a lever for a commercial corridor or a school door, not an apartment entry. What should I use instead of the Kwikset 508HRL?
Skip the 508HRL for that. It's a residential Grade 2 interconnect built for an apartment or house entry door. For commercial traffic look at a Grade 1 cylindrical lock: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever that fits 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and is fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. If you need a keyed classroom function rather than passage, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Kwikset 508HRL Hali interconnect if the door needs a commercial-rated lever instead of a residential set?
The Kwikset 508HRL RDT SMT Hali interconnect is a residential ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 leverset. For a commercial-duty lever on the same opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function. Both are single-bore keyed entry locks rather than a deadbolt-plus-lever combination, so an interconnected single-motion exit is not part of either one.
8) Is there a lever and deadbolt combination other than the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set?
The Callan Bennett CLN-BN3001R is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo, which is the nearest packaged lever-plus-deadbolt peer to the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set. The Kwikset 508HRL carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 rating and is an interconnected set, meaning the interior lever retracts the deadbolt and latch in one motion; the Bennett is a combination pack of two separate locks rather than an interconnected assembly.
9) Which lever locks look like the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set but do not actually lock?
Dummy trim is the common mix-up. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, and Emtek supplies the Arts and Crafts and Cortina levers as dummy pairs. Dummy trim mounts a lever with no latch or bolt behind it. The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is a keyed single-cylinder set with a 780 deadbolt and latch that the interior lever retracts together.
10) For a storage or utility room, is the Kwikset 508HRL Hali interconnect the right choice or is a storeroom lever better?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set has a passage lever paired with a keyed 780 deadbolt, so the lever itself always turns freely and security comes from throwing the bolt. A storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and is retracted only by key: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
11) The Kwikset 508HRL uses SmartKey on a KW1 or SC1 keyway. What comparable levers run a Schlage C keyway?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is SmartKey and re-keys to a Kwikset KW1 or an SC1 keyway without a locksmith. If a site is standardized on Schlage C, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is the same 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum function lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C.
12) Will the 1 inch deadbolt on the Kwikset 508HRL reach my existing strike?
The deadbolt throws a full 1 inch, which is the standard residential throw and will seat in a normal deadbolt strike set into the jamb. If the old lock had a shorter throw, the strike pocket in the frame may need to be deepened so the bolt fully extends, otherwise the deadbolt will not lock all the way and the interconnect will feel stiff when you pull the lever.
13) What's the difference between the Kwikset 508HRL interconnect and an ordinary keyed entry lever with a separate deadbolt?
Two things: the egress motion and the outside function. On the 508HRL the outside lever is passage, meaning it always turns freely, and all the security is in the key-operated deadbolt above it, with the interior lever pulling both bolts at once. A keyed entry lever such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lock or the Cal-Royal AG00 entry lever puts the lock in the lever itself, and if you add a deadbolt it's a separate motion to get out. Interconnect is what you want on apartment entry doors where single-motion egress matters; a keyed entry lever is simpler where it doesn't.
14) I have Kwikset Kingston lever interconnects on the rest of the building. Can I add a Hali on one door?
Functionally yes. The Hali and the Kingston are the same 508 interconnect platform with the 780 deadbolt, so the prep, the backset options and the single-motion egress behave identically, and with SmartKey you can bring the new lock onto the same key. What changes is the look: the Hali is the contemporary lever profile, the Kingston is a different trim design, so the two will not visually match side by side. If matching matters, order the 508KNL Kingston version instead.
15) Does the Kwikset SmartKey deadbolt actually resist picking and bumping?
SmartKey Security on the 508HRL is built to resist advanced break-in techniques including picking and bumping, and the set meets or exceeds Underwriters Laboratories testing requirements. That's the security case for it over a standard pin tumbler residential deadbolt, alongside the fact that you re-key it yourself in seconds rather than calling a locksmith after a tenant turnover.
16) What should I use instead of the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set on an interior door that does not need a key?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is keyed with a single cylinder and pairs a 780 deadbolt with the lever, which is more hardware than an interior door needs. For a non-keyed interior lever, the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with the Sierra lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed passage lever, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) Which lever locks compare to the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set for a bedroom or bathroom door?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is a keyed exterior-door set with a 780 deadbolt, not a bath function. For a privacy opening, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy lever with the 5048 rose.
18) I want to get rid of keys entirely on a door where the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set would go. What lever sets do that?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is key operated on the exterior with SmartKey re-keying and a thumb turn inside. If the goal is no keys at all, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination on the same door range, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock rated Grade 2. None of these carries an interconnected deadbolt.
19) Will a Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever work as a substitute for the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is a passage-function lever only, and Baldwin also lists the 5103 in left hand and right hand half dummy versions that do not latch at all. The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is a keyed single-cylinder assembly that includes a 780 deadbolt with a 1 inch throw and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and its lever is fully reversible for either hand.
20) What is a lower-grade lever with a deadbolt if the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is more than the opening needs?
The Callan Bennett CLN-BN3001R is a Grade 3 entrance leverset with a deadbolt combo, and the Callan Artino CLN-360201 is a Grade 3 entrance leverset on its own. The Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return-style keyed entry lever, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and interconnects its deadbolt to the interior lever for a single-motion exit.
21) Does the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set meet ADA, and which alternatives also do?
The Kwikset 508HRL RDT SMT Hali interconnect meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements and uses a lever rather than a knob. Among the alternatives, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is listed as ADA compliant with passage function. Knob-operated locks such as the Arrow MK02-TA with the Tudor knob or the Arrow MK33-BD-CS with the ball knob are a different operating trim entirely.
22) What lever lock replaces the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set on an access-controlled opening?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is a mechanical keyed set with a SmartKey cylinder and a thumb turn. For an electrified opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, offered with the NZ lever and D rose and in a keyed 12VAC/DC version. The Emtek Classic keypad leverset and the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock are credential-entry alternatives without a wired connection.
23) Can I standardize a building on the Kwikset 508HRL Hali set, or do I need different functions on different doors?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali set is a Grade 2 residential interconnect for exterior doors, keyed alike or keyed different at order time. Interior openings in the same building usually take other functions from the same size of lever: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever from the 5300 Series, the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim from the 4600 Series, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Keeping the deadbolt-equipped set at unit entries and passage levers inside is the usual split.
24) What finishes does the Kwikset 508HRL Hali interconnect set come in?
Three finishes, and they cover the common contemporary palettes: 619 Satin Nickel, 625 Polished Chrome, and 622 Matte Black. The Hali lever has a contemporary square-edged profile, so matte black in particular reads with modern trim and dark window hardware. The deadbolt and lever ship in the same finish as a set, so you aren't matching two orders.
25) What comes in the box with the Kwikset 508HRL, and do I need special tools?
You get the exterior 780 deadbolt with the SmartKey cylinder, the interior thumbturn, the exterior and interior Hali lever trim, the interconnect linkage between them, and 2 keys. It installs with a screwdriver on a properly prepped door, no specialist tooling. What you would need to supply is boring equipment if the door isn't already prepped for both a deadbolt and a lever bore.
26) Which contemporary-styled lever sets are comparable to the Kwikset Hali lever?
The Kwikset 508HRL Hali lever is a contemporary-style lever, fully reversible for right-hand or left-hand doors. For a similar clean profile in a passage lever, the Bravura Tampa BVR-BV333702 is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, the Bravura Orlando BVR-BV333602 and Bravura Atlanta BVR-BV333002 are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 flat-lever passage lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
