Kwikset 971PVLRCT Single Cylinder Interior Prava Lever Trim with Rectangular Rose

No. The 971PVLRCT is an interior pack only, and the lever itself is non-functioning trim. You have to buy the matching Kwikset exterior pack separately to get a working, locking opening. Ordering this alone gets you a lever and rose on the inside face and nothing that operates.

It can't. Prava 971PVLRCT trim is built to mount to a Kwikset handleset, not to work as a standalone latching set. If you want a self-contained lever for a hall, closet or bedroom door, look at a complete leverset instead, such as the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando passage leverset (Grade 2) or the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage lever in satin nickel.

Fully reversible. The Prava lever installs on either a right hand or a left hand door with no parts to swap and no separate handed version to order, so you only pick a finish.

No. The 971PVLRCT is Kwikset Signature Series trim made to mount to Kwikset handlesets. Mixing brands on a handleset doesn't work, since the spindle and mounting hole pattern are brand specific. Match the trim to the handleset brand already on the door.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava lever trim is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified and carries a residential designation. Where a job calls for Grade 1 commercial hardware, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava lever is a non-functioning interior trim that pairs with a Kwikset exterior pack, so it only makes sense on a Kwikset handleset. If you want a standalone dummy lever instead, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Half Dummy Lever with 5048 Rose is offered in left hand and right hand versions, and Emtek offers dummy pairs in the Arts & Crafts and Cortina levers. On the commercial side, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty dummy and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava lever is a non-functioning interior lever. For a latching passage lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose uses the same 5103 lever design, and the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass. For a privacy lever with a bed and bath turn, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose carries that function in the same family.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava is interior trim for a Kwikset handleset and is non-keyed. If the opening needs a keyed entry lever on its own, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 with clutching for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava is a reversible interior lever trim that mounts to a Kwikset exterior pack. Two things get mistaken for it. The Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with entry function from the ED-500 Series, but it is trim for an exit device, not for a cylindrical handleset. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, again tied to that platform. Neither replaces a Kwikset handleset interior pack.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava lever trim is Grade 2 and designated residential. Facility openings that need a code-driven function are better served by the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 classroom lever with clutching for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C1000 classroom security lever in the same Grade 1 series, the Dexter C1000 asylum function lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava is non-keyed interior trim that works with a keyed Kwikset exterior pack. If you would rather drop keys entirely, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock has passage function, is ADA compliant, and fits 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, with a 2835DC double combination version in the same thickness range. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. Electronic options include the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 keypad leverlock and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset.

Two: satin nickel and satin brass. If you're matching a handleset already on the door, pick the finish that matches the exterior pack, since the interior lever is what people see from the hallway side.

The Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava lever trim is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. Grade 2 lever locks with working functions include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta in passage function from the 5300 Series, the Accentra 4601LN passage lever from the 4600 Series, the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B101 non-handed passage lever in medium duty, and the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

Ordering the Kwikset 971PVLRCT Prava means also buying a Kwikset exterior pack, since the lever itself is non-functioning interior trim. For a single self-contained residential set, the Master Lock BC Series is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lockset, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset with a deadbolt combo. 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 971PVLRCT Prava lever is fully reversible and installs on right handed and left handed doors. Among comparable lever locks, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lock uses a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock uses non-handed levers. By contrast, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed, sold as a left hand version and a separate right hand version, so the hand has to be set at the time of order.

A screwdriver. The Prava interior trim mounts to the handleset with hand tools only, no drilling or special prep, which is why it's a practical swap when you're changing the look of an interior lever without touching the door prep.

Yes. Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the finish, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That matters most on shared-touch openings, common area and multi-family doors.

The Prava trim uses a rectangular rose, so it reads square rather than round at the door face. If the rest of your openings run round roses, it won't blend, and a round-trim lever like the Bravura Miramar or Atlanta is the closer visual match. The Bravura Tampa is the square-trim option if you're standardizing on square across a building.
