Kwikset 405BL-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 405BL Balboa lever fit a door bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset, or only 2-3/8?
Both. The 6AL latch that ships with the 405BL Balboa entry lever is an adjustable-backset latch, so it sets to either 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches. Those are the two standard residential bore backsets, so it drops into essentially any standard door prep without ordering a separate latch.
2) Is the Kwikset Balboa 405BL lever handed, or can I use it on a left hand door?
No handing to specify. The Balboa lever is fully reversible and installs on right hand or left hand doors, so one part number covers every opening in the building and you don't have to inventory two versions.
3) What ANSI grade is the Kwikset Balboa 405BL lever, and is it enough for an apartment entry door?
ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certified, which is the residential tier, and the 405BL is built as a residential lock. That is fine for single-family and light apartment entry use. For a commercial corridor, a leasing office, or a heavy-traffic multifamily entry, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lock or the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 entry/office lever.
4) What is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever equivalent to the Kwikset Balboa 405BL?
The Master Lock BC Series RL01 is the closest straight equivalent: it is a Grade 3 return style lever keyed entry lockset, matching the Balboa's Grade 3 certification and keyed entry function. The Callan Artino CLN-360201 is another Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. All three cover the same residential-weight entry opening the Balboa is built for.
5) I need a keyed lever for a commercial corridor with heavy daily traffic - what should I use instead of a residential Grade 3 lever?
Step up to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 keyed cylindrical lever. The Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entrance/office cylindrical lever. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset Balboa 405BL is a residential lever carrying a Grade 3 certification, so these are the ones specified where the cycle count is commercial.
6) What is the difference between the Kwikset Balboa 405BL and a dummy lever that looks the same?
A dummy lever is a pull only - it has no latch and does not operate. The Callan Bentley CLN-BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and Baldwin's Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed as BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand. The Balboa 405BL is a working keyed entry lever with a 6AL latch and RCS strike, and it is fully reversible, so it installs on either hand without ordering a side.
7) The door needs to stay locked outside while always allowing exit - is a keyed entry lever the right function?
No. Keyed entry, which is what the Kwikset Balboa 405BL provides, unlocks from the outside once the interior turn piece is released. For a door that must stay locked from the outside at all times, use a storeroom function: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a classroom opening, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever in the AG Series and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching mechanism.
8) My opening is a fire-rated door - can I use the Kwikset Balboa 405BL or do I need a different lever?
Specify a lever the set lists with a fire rating. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever with a fire rating, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed cylindrical lock with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are passage function, so pair them with a keyed function from the same commercial families where the opening needs a key. The Balboa 405BL is a residential Grade 3 keyed entry lever.
9) I need an entry lever with a Schlage C keyway so it keys into the existing system - what takes that?
The Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. In the same family, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum function cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. The Kwikset Balboa 405BL is keyed on the Kwikset system.
10) My door frame has a square corner strike mortise, will the Kwikset 405BL latch faceplate match?
Yes, and so will a radius prep. The 6AL latch comes with two interchangeable faceplates, round corner and square corner, so you match whatever is already routed into the door edge. The RCS strike is the round corner strike for the frame side.
11) What finishes does the Kwikset Balboa entry lever come in for matching the rest of my doors?
Four: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, and Antique Brass. If you are standardizing a building, Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze are the two that most commonly match existing residential trim runs.
12) Should I use a keyed lever like the Kwikset 405BL or a passage lever on my interior doors?
Use the 405BL only where you need to lock the door. It is an entry function lock, keyed outside with an interior turn piece, meant for entrances and main doors. Interior halls, closets, and pantries take a passage lever with no lock at all, like the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset or the Bravura Atlanta passage leverset. Bed and bath doors want a privacy lever with a push-button and emergency release, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever.
13) What's a Grade 3 keyed entry lever alternative to the Kwikset Balboa if I want a different look?
Two close equivalents at the same grade: the Callan Artino Grade 3 entrance leverset and the Master Lock BC Series Grade 3 return-style keyed entry lockset. If you also want a deadbolt in the same trim, the Callan Bennett Grade 3 entrance leverset comes as a deadbolt combo. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is another Grade 3 entrance/office lever, with a solid brass forged body and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range.
14) What tools do I need to install the Kwikset Balboa 405BL, and does it need a new door prep?
A screwdriver, and no new prep if the door already has a standard cylindrical bore. The 405BL installs in a few minutes with just a screwdriver, and because the latch adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets and ships with both round and square corner faceplates, it goes into standard door preparations as they come. For a property manager swapping locks across a building, that means no drilling on doors already carrying a cylindrical lockset.
15) Is there a keyless lever option instead of a keyed entry lever for a unit that turns over often?
Yes. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1150S version has an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Kwikset Balboa 405BL is the keyed alternative, with an interior turn piece for locking.
16) The interior doors do not need a key - what is the non-keyed version to order alongside the Balboa lever?
For closets, halls and pantries, order a passage lever: the Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset available in satin nickel, and the Bravura Atlanta BVR-BV333002 and Bravura Orlando BVR-BV333602 are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim. For bedrooms and baths, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever. The Balboa 405BL locks with a turn piece on the interior and takes a key outside, so it is the entry-door member of that mix.
17) I want a lever with a decorative look rather than a builder-grade entry lever - what else is there?
Deltana's entry levers are the decorative side of the same opening: the 5851 Claremont, the 6201 Manchester, the 6411 Morant and the 6431 Linstead are all entry function levers, with the Manchester, Morant and Linstead covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Emtek's Classic Brass Cortina and Arts and Crafts levers are offered as dummy pairs for the non-operating side. The Kwikset Balboa is a traditional style lever offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome and Antique Brass.
18) Can I use a knob-style entrance lock in place of a lever on an ADA opening?
A lever is the operable-hardware choice where a knob will not do. The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob - both are knob trim, not lever trim. The Kwikset Balboa 405BL is a lever with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset latch, so it drops into the same standard bore either knob would occupy.
19) Does the Kwikset 405BL Balboa have an antimicrobial coating for a healthcare or shared-entry door?
The Balboa lever carries Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It is a built-in surface treatment on the hardware, not a coating you reapply. Note this is a residential Grade 3 lock, so for a clinical or institutional corridor you would still be looking at a commercial-grade lever.
20) Is the Kwikset Balboa lever a modern or traditional style?
Traditional. The Balboa is a traditional-styled lever from Kwikset's Balboa collection, so it sits comfortably alongside older millwork and colonial trim rather than flat contemporary hardware. If the job calls for a squared, contemporary lever instead, the Bravura Tampa uses square trim and the Design Hardware J75 is a flat lever.
