Kwikset 720PHL-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Kwikset Perth lever fit a 2-3/8 inch backset, or do I need to order a different one for 2-3/4?
One part covers both. The 6AL latch supplied with the Perth lever has an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inches, which are the two standard bores used on residential doors, so it drops into either prep without ordering a separate latch.
2) Do I have to specify left hand or right hand when ordering the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever?
No handing call-out is needed. The Perth lever is fully reversible and installs on either a right hand or left hand door, so one part covers both swings on a job with mixed openings.
3) My door frame is mortised for a square corner faceplate. Will the Kwikset Perth latch match it?
Yes. The 6AL latch ships with three interchangeable faceplates: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar for bored holes with no mortise at all. You pick the one that matches the existing door prep rather than re-chiseling.
4) Is the Kwikset Perth lever rated for a commercial building or an apartment turnover?
It is a residential-duty lever, certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. That suits apartment interiors, single family homes, and multi-family unit doors. For a school, clinic, or office corridor where Grade 1 is specified on the drawing, this is not the part to use.
5) Which handleset should I use on a front door instead of the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever?
The 720PHL Perth lever is passage function - it latches but does not lock, which rules it out for an exterior entry. For a keyed front door, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is Grade 2 and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is an entry-function option in satin nickel for the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB series.
6) Is the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever the same thing as a dummy handleset?
No. The Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever is passage function with an operating 6AL latch, so the lever retracts a latchbolt and the door latches shut. Dummy trim does not operate a latch at all - examples are the Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets, all dummy function, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. Choose dummy only for an inactive leaf or a pull application.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever if the door also needs a keyed deadbolt?
The Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever is a passage-function lever with a 6AL latch and round corner full lip strike, so it has no key cylinder at all. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is the closest equivalent that adds locking: it is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Use the JI18/19 where the same latching-only lever action is wanted but the opening still has to be keyed.
8) What strike comes with the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever, and will it cover an oversized cutout in the jamb?
It comes with a round corner full lip strike. The full lip wraps the jamb edge, which helps hide a worn or slightly oversized existing cutout on a replacement job. If your frames are prepped square corner, the strike mortise will need to match the round corner profile.
9) What finishes does the Kwikset Perth lever come in for matching the rest of my doors?
Two finishes: Satin Nickel and Matte Black. If the other openings in the unit are already satin nickel or you are doing a black hardware refresh, the Perth lever can be matched across the doors.
10) What tools and prep do I need to install the Kwikset Perth lever on an existing bored door?
A screwdriver is all it takes on a door already bored to standard prep, since the latch backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches and the faceplate can be swapped to match the existing mortise or run as a drive-in. No drilling is required for a like-for-like swap.
11) I need a lever for an interior door plus a keyed deadbolt on the same door. Is the Perth lever the right choice?
No. The Perth lever is a lever lock for interior openings and does not include a deadbolt. For a door needing a lever and a keyed bolt worked as one unit, look at the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected lock, a Grade 2 passage-function set with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever that fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) Which other handlesets have an adjustable backset like the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever?
The Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever uses a 6AL latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset, which lets it drop into either standard bore. Among other lines, the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry handleset, the Alta AT507 tubular handleset, the Coral CR507 and the Madison MA507 keyed entry handleset are all specified with adjustable backset. Those four are handleset-function keyed or trim sets rather than a passage lever, so they answer a different opening.
13) I want a non-keyed handleset look rather than the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever - what is comparable?
The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function set, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and gives the full handleset escutcheon appearance without a cylinder. The Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever is a passage lever with a 6AL latch and round corner full lip strike, reversible for right or left hand doors. Both operate without a key; the difference is the trim footprint on the door face.
14) For an interior door in a rental, how does the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever compare to a Baldwin or Deltana handleset?
The Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever is a residential ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 passage lever with Microban antimicrobial protection, offered in satin nickel and matte black, and installs with a screwdriver on either hand of door. The Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Deltana 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston solid brass handlesets are entrance-function sets built for exterior openings. For interior bedroom and hall doors that only need to latch, the Perth lever is the matching class of product; the Baldwin and Deltana sets are for the entry door.
15) Will a Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont mortise trim work in place of the Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever?
No. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont, in single cylinder and double cylinder entry versions, is mortise trim for a 1-3/4 inch door and requires a mortise lock case pocket. The Kwikset 720PHL Perth lever is a bored passage set that uses a 6AL latch with adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset in standard round bore preparation. The two door preps are not interchangeable.
16) Does the Kwikset Perth lever have any antimicrobial coating for healthcare or senior living use?
Yes, it is built with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That is a common ask on assisted living and clinic-adjacent residential doors. It is not a substitute for a Grade 1 commercial lever where code specifies one.
