Kwikset 733KNL-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Kwikset 733KNL Kingston privacy lever need a key, and how do you get in if someone locks themselves in the bathroom?
The 733KNL Kingston is a non-keyed privacy lock. Locking is by pushbutton on the inside lever, so there is no cylinder and no key to cut or manage. From the outside there is an emergency unlocking option, which is what you want on a bedroom or bathroom door where someone may need to get in from the corridor. If you need a lock that takes a key from the outside, this is the wrong function.
2) Is the Kwikset 733KNL Kingston lever handed, or can I use one lock on both left and right hand doors?
Handing is not a problem here. The Kingston lever is reversible, so one lock covers both left and right hand doors. For a property manager buying a carton of these for a building, that means a single item number for every interior door regardless of swing, and no wrong-hand returns.
3) Is the Kwikset 733KNL rated for a commercial building, or is it a residential lock?
Kwikset classifies the 733KNL Kingston as residential, and the product copy positions it for light commercial and interior residential use. That is fine for apartment bedrooms and baths, offices, and low-traffic interior openings. For a school, hospital, or any opening on a heavy-traffic corridor, step up to a commercial cylindrical privacy lock such as the Arrow MK02-TA, which ZenSupply lists as Grade 1 with a fire rating. The Kingston carries no grade claim, so do not put it where a spec calls one out.
4) What latch and strike come with the Kwikset 733KNL, and will they drop into an existing door?
The 733KNL ships with the RCAL latch and the RCS round corner strike, so the latch and the frame plate are both in the box. The round corner strike suits a frame already prepped with a radius-corner cutout, which is the common prep on prefinished and metal-framed interior openings. If your jamb has a square corner strike pocket, plan on either a strike with square corners or filing the prep. The lock itself fits standard cylindrical door prep for a straight swap.
5) Can I replace a bedroom privacy knob with the Kwikset Kingston lever without redrilling the door?
Both are cylindrical locks working the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore and edge bore, so a privacy knob to privacy lever swap on the same prep is the normal path, and the Kingston fits standard door prep. Two things to check before you order: the lever needs clearance to swing down without hitting a door stop or an adjacent wall, and the new RCS round corner strike has to match the corner shape of your existing jamb cutout. Backset is the other item to confirm on the door you are working on.
6) What is the closest privacy lever equivalent to the Kwikset 733KNL Kingston if a different brand is required?
The Kwikset 733KNL Kingston is a non-keyed cylindrical privacy lever for bed and bath openings. The Hager 2540 Withnell is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock built for the same bed and bath duty, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Both are lever-operated cylindrical locks that mount in standard cylindrical door prep, so an opening prepped for the Kingston takes the Withnell without new boring.
7) I need a privacy lock but the door gets institutional traffic. What is a heavier option than the Kingston lever?
The Kingston 733KNL is a residential-grade pushbutton privacy lever. Where the opening needs more, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The tradeoff is the handle: the MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so it does not give you the lever operation the Kingston does.
8) The door does not need to lock at all. What should I order instead of the Kwikset 733KNL Kingston lever?
The Kingston 733KNL locks for privacy with a pushbutton. For a hall or closet door that only needs to latch, a passage lever is the right part: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage equivalent, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Neither has a locking button, so nobody can secure the door behind them.
9) Which levers look like the Kingston 733KNL but will not work on a bathroom door?
Two families get ordered by mistake. Dummy levers such as the Accentra 455LN Augusta, a Grade 1 single dummy, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, and the Emtek Cortina dummy pair have no latch at all and only pull the door. Passage levers such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 and the Bravura Atlanta Grade 2 latch but never lock. The Kingston 733KNL is the privacy version, with a pushbutton that secures the door from the inside.
10) I need matching passage levers for the hall and closet doors to go with the Kwikset privacy levers. Can I get the Kingston in passage?
The 733KNL is the privacy function only, with a pushbutton for bed and bath doors. For the hall and closet doors on the same job you need a passage set, which latches but does not lock. ZenSupply carries several residential-through-Grade-2 passage levers that pair well on an interior package, including the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset in Satin Nickel and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando round-trim passage leversets in Grade 2. Trim shape will not be an exact match to the Kingston, so if the doors are in the same sightline, run one style throughout.
11) What is the commercial-grade alternative to the Kwikset 733KNL privacy lever for an apartment building bathroom?
For multi-family bath and bedroom doors that see real traffic, the Arrow MK02-TA is the closest commercial privacy option ZenSupply holds: privacy function, non-keyed, fire rated, and listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Note it is a Tudor knob, not a lever, so it will not satisfy an ADA lever requirement. If the spec calls for a lever and heavy duty, look at the BEST 9K Series and Falcon K Series cylindrical families rather than the Kingston. The Kingston is the right call when the doors are residential-duty and the budget and the look matter more than a grade certificate.
12) Do I need to order a strike plate or latch separately with the Kwikset 733KNL?
No extra parts on the order. The RCAL latch and the RCS round corner strike ship with the lock, along with the mounting screws needed for a standard cylindrical install. The only thing you may add is a strike of a different corner style if your existing frame prep is square rather than radiused, or longer screws if you are anchoring into the stud behind a wood jamb.
13) Is a pushbutton privacy lever like the Kwikset Kingston the right choice, or should I use a keypad or keyed lock on a bathroom?
A pushbutton privacy lever is the correct function for a bathroom or bedroom: it locks from inside only, no key to issue, and it releases in an emergency from the corridor side. A keyed entry lock on a bathroom is the wrong choice, because you take on key control for a door nobody should be locking from outside. Where you do want coded access on an interior door, say a staff-only room, ZenSupply carries mechanical keypad leversets such as the Lockey 2835, which fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick. For a plain bath door, the Kingston is the simpler answer.
14) Is the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever a substitute for the Kwikset Kingston 733KNL?
Functionally yes, in the sense that the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever is a privacy bed and bath function lever mounted on a 5048 rose, the same job the Kingston 733KNL does. The difference is trim style and handing: the Kingston lever is reversible and fits either hand of door, while Baldwin builds the 5103 in hand-specific versions on the dummy side, a left hand 5103 and a right hand 5103 half dummy, so a Baldwin order needs the hand called out where the Kingston does not.
15) Is there a keyless lever with a code instead of the pushbutton privacy on the Kingston 733KNL?
Yes. The Kingston 733KNL uses a mechanical pushbutton for privacy only, which anyone on the inside can set. Where access needs to be controlled by a code, 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, and the Lockey 1150 is the heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock at Grade 2 if the opening should run on batteries rather than a mechanical code.
16) What lever should go on a patient room or utility door where the Kingston privacy lever is not appropriate?
The Kingston 733KNL is a bed and bath privacy lever intended for interior residential and light commercial rooms. Openings that need to be secured against occupant control take an asylum or institutional function instead: the Dexter C1000 Series is a Grade 1 asylum function (F87) cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum function lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, on a ball knob rather than a lever.
17) What is the difference between the Kwikset Kingston 733KNL and a vandal resistant lever like the Corbin Russwin CL3110?
The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, but it is a passage and closet function, so it does not lock. The Kingston 733KNL locks for privacy with a pushbutton but is built for interior residential and light commercial duty. If a door needs both privacy locking and abuse resistance, those are two different specifications and the CL3110 does not cover the locking half.
18) The door is only 1-3/8 inch thick. Which lever alternatives to the Kingston 733KNL cover that?
Among cylindrical levers, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 Withnell passage covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 Grade 3 entrance and office lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Design Hardware X75 and J75 passage levers are built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, so they are the wrong call on a thinner leaf.
19) What finishes does the Kwikset 733KNL Kingston privacy lever come in?
Four finishes on the Kingston privacy lever: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, and Polished Brass. Satin Nickel and Satin Chrome both read as a brushed silver but they are different tones, so if you are matching hinges and stops already hung in a building, pull one of each rather than ordering the whole floor blind. Venetian Bronze is the dark oil-rubbed look; Polished Brass is the bright yellow.
20) Will the Kwikset Kingston lever match traditional-style trim on the rest of my interior doors?
The Kingston is Kwikset's traditional-style lever in the Kingston collection, with a curved lever on a round rose. It sits alongside other traditional interior trim rather than modern square hardware. If your building runs square roses and flat levers, the Bravura Tampa square-trim leverset is closer in look. Matching the finish tone matters more than the lever shape on most turnovers.
21) I am standardizing lever hardware across a building and need one traditional style for both locking and non-locking doors. How does the Kingston 733KNL fit?
The Kingston 733KNL covers the privacy doors in a traditional lever style, non-keyed, reversible, in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, and Polished Brass. To match trim across the rest of the building, the Bravura Miramar passage leverset carries round trim at Grade 2 in US4 Satin Brass, the Bravura Orlando is the same round trim passage lever in the Orlando design, and the Bravura Tampa carries square trim at Grade 2 for openings where the rose shape should change.
