Kwikset 740HFL-SQT-26D-SMT-6AL-RCS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 740HFL Halifax lever fit my existing door prep, or do I need to re-drill?
The 6AL latch that ships with the Halifax lever has an adjustable backset, 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch, so it drops into either of the two standard bore preps without re-drilling. Three interchangeable faceplates come in the box as well: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. That covers a mortised latch face of either corner style or a drive-in hole with no face mortise at all, which is what you want on a replacement where the old faceplate cutout does not match.
2) Is the Kwikset Halifax 740HFL lever handed, or can I use it on a left-hand door?
The Halifax lever is fully reversible and installs on either a right-hand or a left-hand door. Nothing to specify on the order and no field kit needed, which is the practical reason to stock one part number across a building instead of splitting inventory by handing.
3) Can I key the Kwikset Halifax entry lever to my existing Kwikset KW1 keys?
Yes. The 740HFL Halifax uses SmartKey, and SmartKey re-key technology accepts Kwikset KW1 or Schlage SC1 keyway options, with the lock shipping on the KW1 profile. You re-key it yourself in seconds with the SmartKey tool and a working key rather than pinning a cylinder, so a property manager can bring a new unit onto an existing key without a locksmith visit. Two keys come with the lock.
4) If I order several Kwikset Halifax entry levers for one building, can they all run on one key?
Order the keyed alike option and the levers ship on a common key. Keyed different is the other choice, where each lock carries its own key. Both are offered in all five finishes: satin nickel, polished chrome, satin chrome, black, and venetian bronze. If you later add a lock on the wrong keying, SmartKey lets you re-key it to match the rest yourself.
5) Is the Kwikset 740HFL Halifax lever rated for a commercial opening or an apartment corridor?
The Halifax is a residential lock, ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified as highest residential security, durability and finish. That is right for apartment unit entries, single-family doors, and light-traffic openings. For a commercial corridor or anything taking constant public traffic, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series, both Grade 1 with fire ratings on record.
6) What is a Grade 2 keyed entry lever alternative to the Kwikset 740HFL Halifax that uses a Schlage C keyway?
The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 keyed lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/8 inch backset, and it fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Halifax 740HFL is built around Kwikset SmartKey with a KW1 keyway profile, so the two key into different systems: choose the AG00 when the building is already keyed to Schlage C and the Halifax when the property is on a Kwikset keyway or when self-rekeying at the door matters more than matching an existing bitting.
7) What lever should I use instead of the Kwikset Halifax 740HFL on a commercial opening that needs Grade 1?
The Kwikset 740HFL Halifax is a residential keyed entry lever certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Where the specification calls for Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick if the opening does not need a key. Match the function first: the C1000 entry/office is the keyed counterpart to the Halifax, and the K101 is non-keyed.
8) What is the difference between the Kwikset 740HFL Halifax and a storeroom lever like the Cal-Royal AG05 or Hager 2580?
The Halifax 740HFL is an entry function: the outside lever is locked and unlocked by a turn piece on the inside, so an occupant controls it from within the unit. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell design for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches. On a storeroom function the outside lever stays locked at all times and is retracted only by key, with no inside turn piece, which is why they are specified for mechanical rooms and supply closets rather than for tenant entrances.
9) Is a dummy lever like the Baldwin 5103 or Accentra 455LN a substitute for the Kwikset 740HFL Halifax?
No. A dummy lever is surface mounted trim that does not turn a latch and does not lock. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed, sold as a left hand or a right hand version with the 5048 rose, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy. The Halifax 740HFL is a keyed entry lever with a latch and strike that secures the opening and is fully reversible for left or right hand doors. Dummy trim is for a fixed inactive leaf or a closet pull; it will not hold an exterior door shut.
10) How does the Kwikset Halifax lever lock and unlock, and does it take a thumbturn inside?
Keyed entry function. Outside is keyed, and the inside has a turn piece you rotate to lock or release. That is the standard setup for a front or unit entry door where you want to be able to secure it from inside without a key. If you need a non-keyed opening instead, a passage or privacy lever is the part to look at, not this one.
11) Does the Kwikset Halifax lever meet ADA requirements for lever operation?
Yes, the Halifax meets ADA / ANSI A117.1 requirements. It is a lever rather than a knob, which is the operable-hardware part of that requirement, and it matters on any accessible route or unit that has to comply.
12) What strike comes with the Kwikset 740HFL, and will it match my existing frame cutout?
A round corner strike (RCS) ships with the lock. If your frame is prepped for a square corner strike or a full lip strike, the round corner plate will not sit in that cutout cleanly, so plan on either filing the mortise or sourcing the matching strike plate. On a new frame prep, the round corner is the common cut.
13) What do I need to install a Kwikset Halifax keyed entry lever?
A screwdriver. The 740HFL installs in minutes and includes the 6AL latch, the round corner strike, three faceplate options, and two keys. Nothing else is required for a door already bored for a standard cylindrical lock. If the opening also needs a deadbolt, that is a separate part.
14) What is a comparable keyed entry lever to the Kwikset Halifax if I want a different brand?
Staying residential-grade, the Master Lock BC Series RL01 return style keyed entry lever and the Callan Bennett are both entrance-function levers, Grade 3. If you want a heavier lock on the same opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever handling 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. None of those carry SmartKey, so self re-keying is the trade-off you give up.
15) I need matching levers on interior doors that do not lock. Can I use the Halifax for those too?
No. The 740HFL is keyed entry only, so a hall, closet, or bedroom door needs a passage or privacy lever instead. Options we carry include the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Hager 2540 privacy lever on the same thickness range. Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage lever with square trim, which is the closer match if you are trying to keep the square look across the openings.
16) I manage a building with Schlage SC1 keys. Can I still standardize on the Kwikset Halifax?
Yes. SmartKey on the Halifax works with either the Kwikset KW1 or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so a portfolio already on SC1 keys does not force you off this lock. You re-key the cylinder to the SC1 profile yourself rather than ordering a special cylinder.
17) I do not need a key on the door - what matches the Halifax lever but in a passage function?
The Halifax 740HFL is a keyed entry lever with an interior turn piece, so it is more lock than a closet or hall door needs. For non-keyed openings, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed medium duty passage lever, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever from the 5300 Series. All three sit at the same Grade 2 level as the Halifax, so a property standardizing on Grade 2 can run keyed Halifax on the entry doors and any of these on the interior ones.
18) What is a keyless alternative to the Kwikset 740HFL Halifax for a door where I do not want to hand out keys?
The Halifax 740HFL is a mechanical keyed lever using SmartKey, which lets the cylinder be rekeyed at the door in seconds rather than replaced. If the goal is to stop issuing keys altogether, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function that is ADA compliant and fits doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with an adjustable backset for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Halifax also meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements, so lever operation is comparable; the difference is credential handling, not reach or grip.
19) The Halifax 740HFL has a square rose - what other square or contemporary lever trim is available?
The Kwikset 740HFL Halifax is a contemporary style lever on a square rose. The Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim if a room on the same floor needs the rounded shape instead. Note the function split: the Halifax is keyed entry while those Bravura leversets are passage, so they coordinate visually on interior doors rather than replacing the Halifax on an entrance.
20) What is a lighter duty keyed entry lever than the Kwikset Halifax 740HFL for a low traffic door?
The Halifax 740HFL is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Where a lower cycle rating is acceptable, the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lever, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Grade 3 is the residential baseline and Grade 2 sits above it in the same ANSI/BHMA test series, so a Grade 3 lever suits an interior or low traffic exterior door while the Halifax carries the higher residential rating.
21) I need a keyed entry lever plus a deadbolt on the same door - what covers that instead of the Halifax 740HFL alone?
The Kwikset 740HFL Halifax is a keyed entry lever with a 6AL latch and round corner strike; the deadbolt is a separate order. The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combination, so the lever and bolt arrive together and are prepped as a set. Compare the ratings when deciding: the Halifax is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and the Bennett combo is Grade 3.
22) What keyed lever works on a classroom or a restroom door where the Halifax 740HFL entry function is wrong?
The Halifax 740HFL is an entry function lever unlocked by an inside turn piece, which is not the right control for a classroom or a public restroom. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the C1000 classroom security version adds key control from both sides in the same size range. For a privacy door, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy lock with a Tudor knob, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches.
23) My door is 2 inches thick - the Halifax 740HFL latch adjusts backset but what levers cover that thickness?
The Kwikset 740HFL Halifax latch has an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inches to fit standard door preparations. For thickness, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Dexter C1000 asylum Grade 1 lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. The Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever is listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors as well.
24) Is the Corbin Russwin CL3110 a heavier version of the Kwikset Halifax 740HFL?
They are not the same function. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever in the CL3100 Series, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches, but it is a passage/closet lock with no cylinder. The Halifax 740HFL is a keyed entry lever with SmartKey and an interior turn piece. If the requirement is a heavier keyed entry lever, look at the Dexter C1000 entry/office Grade 1 or the Falcon B511CP6D Grade 2 entry/office rather than the CL3110.
25) Does the Kwikset Halifax 740HFL come in a knob, and what knob entry locks are comparable?
The Halifax 740HFL is a lever handle. Where a knob is wanted instead on a keyed exterior door, the Arrow HK11-BB is a Grade 2 turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Bear in mind the Halifax meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements as a lever, and a round knob is generally not acceptable where accessible operation is required.
26) Is the square rose on the Kwikset Halifax going to look right next to my other door hardware?
The Halifax lever uses a square rose in a contemporary style, so it pairs with square-trim hardware rather than round. If the rest of the building is on round trim, a round-rose lever is the closer visual match. Five finishes are offered: satin nickel, polished chrome, satin chrome, black, and venetian bronze.
27) What does the Microban treatment on the Kwikset Halifax lever actually do?
Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the hardware surface and keeps the door hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It is a surface property, not a disinfectant, so it does not replace cleaning. It is a reason facilities buyers in healthcare, hospitality, and multi-family pick this trim over an untreated lever on high-touch doors.
