Kwikset KWI-971HFLRDT Single Cylinder Interior Halifax Lever Trim with Round Rose

It's the interior half only. The Halifax lever itself is non-functioning trim, so you also need a Kwikset exterior handleset pack to make a working opening. It's built to install with Kwikset handlesets, and the interior turn piece is what throws the lock.

The latch backset adjusts from 2-3/8 inches to 2-3/4 inches, which covers both of the standard residential door preps, so you don't have to know which one your door was drilled for. Latch throw is 1/2 inch.

No handing to specify. The lever is fully reversible and installs on right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part number covers both swings. That matters if you're buying for a building with mixed door swings.

It's the Signature Series interior pack for the 814 and 818 handlesets. If your exterior handleset is a different Kwikset model, confirm the interior pack called out for that handleset instead of assuming this one drops in.

It's a residential product, certified ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA for residential security, durability and finish. For a commercial opening in an office, school or multi-family corridor you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever instead, such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever or the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever.

The Halifax 971HFL interior pack is a non-functioning lever - it is handleset interior trim with a turn piece, and the exterior pack has to be bought separately. For an opening that needs a working latch operated by the lever itself, a passage leverset is the right part: the Dexter C1000 Series passage lever is a Grade 1 non-keyed clutching lever, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever. Both operate a latch from the lever on either side.

They are close in behavior but not interchangeable. The Halifax 971HFL is interior handleset trim with a locking turn piece, sized to pair with a Kwikset exterior handleset pack. A true dummy lever such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim (Grade 1, non-keyed) or the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy has no latch and no turn piece at all - it is a fixed pull. If the deadbolt needs to be thumb-turned from inside, the dummy trim will not do it.

The Halifax 971HFL interior pack is a residential product carrying ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA for residential security, durability and finish. For commercial door schedules, an ANSI Grade 1 cylindrical lever is the usual call: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Grade 2 options include the Hager 2510 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

Six: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Satin Brass and Matte Black. Pick the one matching the exterior handleset pack you're pairing it with, since the two ship separately and the finish has to be ordered on each.

Not quite. The Halifax lever here is non-functioning trim, but it's built to work as the inside half of a handleset with a deadbolt turn piece, not as a standalone dummy on a closet or pantry door. For a true dummy lever, look at the BEST 7KC single dummy trim or the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which comes in right hand and left hand versions.

The Halifax 971HFL is interior trim only and requires a Kwikset exterior pack to complete the opening. A single-unit keyed entry leverset avoids that pairing: the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, the Master Lock BC Series RL Series is a Grade 3 keyed entry return-style lever, and the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

The 971HFL turn piece throws a handleset deadbolt, not a privacy latch, so it does not suit a bath door. Dedicated privacy levers include the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose, and for a knob instead of a lever the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy function, non-keyed, fire rated unit for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical unit with the Withnell lever.

Yes, if the goal is code entry rather than a key. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and 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. Electronic options include the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset. These are complete locks rather than interior trim, so no companion exterior pack is involved.

The Halifax 971HFL ships with a latch adjustable from 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch, so it drops into either standard prep. Among comparable levers, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is specified at a 2-3/8 inch backset and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever at 2-3/4 inch, meaning the door prep has to be confirmed before ordering either. The Lockey 1150 is offered with an adjustable backset.

The Halifax 971HFL lever is fully reversible and installs on right or left handed doors with a screwdriver. Among comparables, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed and sold as a specific left hand or right hand unit, so the swing has to be identified at order time. Non-handed designs include the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock.

A screwdriver. No drilling is needed if the door already has a standard bore, since the latch adjusts to either the 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.

Yes, it carries Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Useful on shared entries in multi-family or short-term rental units.

The Halifax 971HFL lever mounts on a round rose. For round-rose passage levers, the Bravura Miramar and Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the 5048 rose. The Bravura Tampa is the square-trim counterpart if the rest of the door hardware is squared off.
