Kwikset 405BRNLSQT-15S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Kwikset Breton lever handed, or can I use it on a left hand door?
Fully reversible. The lever installs on right hand or left hand doors with no parts to swap and no separate SKU to order, which is why it's a simple one-box item for a property manager doing mixed openings across a building.
2) Can I key this Kwikset SmartKey lever to my existing house keys?
Yes, within limits. SmartKey lets you re-key the cylinder yourself in seconds with the existing key and the learn tool, and it accepts either the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway. So if your other doors run KW1 or SC1, you can bring this lever onto that same key. A keyway outside those two will not work. Two keys come in the box.
3) Is the Kwikset Breton lever strong enough for an apartment building entry door?
It carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification and is catalogued as residential hardware. Grade 3 is the light-duty residential tier, fine for single-family and low-traffic unit entry doors. For a commercial entrance or a high-cycle common-area opening, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Hager 2525 entrance lock or a Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series unit.
4) My door frame has a square corner strike mortise, will this latch faceplate match?
The 6AL latch includes three interchangeable faceplates: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. So a square-corner mortise in the door edge, a radius-corner mortise, or an unmortised bored hole are all covered by what's in the box. The RCS strike is the round corner strike for the frame side.
5) Is there another Grade 3 keyed entry lever I can use in place of the Kwikset Breton?
Yes. The Kwikset Breton square rose leverset is a Grade 3 keyed entry lock. Comparable Grade 3 entry levers include the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Callan Artino Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Master Lock RL Series return style Grade 3 keyed entry lockset. The Breton is the one of the group with SmartKey re-key technology and Microban treatment.
6) I need the same lever look on an interior door that does not need a key - what do I order instead of the Breton entry set?
The Breton square rose lock is keyed for exterior doors where keyed entry is needed, so for a non-keyed interior door you want a passage or privacy function instead. Passage options include the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, the Bravura Tampa square trim passage leverset in Grade 2, and the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a bed or bath door, the Hager 2540 is the privacy counterpart in Grade 2.
7) What is a comparable keyed entry lever to the Kwikset Breton 405BRNL if I want a commercial Grade 2 lockset instead of a residential Grade 3?
The Kwikset Breton lever with square rose is a residential keyed entry leverset carrying ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification. If the opening calls for a commercial-duty keyed entry lever, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle and a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function. Both step up the grade over the Breton but neither uses Kwikset SmartKey re-keying.
8) What should I use instead of the Kwikset Breton on a high traffic commercial opening?
The Breton square rose entry lever is certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 and is a residential lockset. For heavy traffic, move to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101 heavy duty non-handed lock, which is fire rated and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Falcon T101 Grade 1 heavy duty lever with pressure release technology. Both of those listed functions are passage, so for a keyed opening in Grade 1 look at the Dexter C1000 series, offered in classroom and classroom security functions for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Can I use a Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever as a drop-in replacement for a Kwikset Breton?
They serve the same opening type but key differently. The Breton uses Kwikset SmartKey re-key technology compatible with the KW1 or SC1 keyway and ships with two keys. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is built around a 6-pin Schlage C keyway supplied keyed different, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the same AG series is also a Schlage C keyway. If your building is keyed to a Kwikset system, the Breton keeps you on it; if you are standardized on Schlage C, the AG series matches that keyway.
10) How does the Kwikset Breton entry lever lock from the inside?
Interior side uses a turn piece, keyed cylinder on the exterior side. That's a standard keyed entry function for a house or unit front door. If you want a lever that stays unlocked and just latches, that's a passage function, and if you want push-button privacy for a bath or bedroom, that's a different lock entirely.
11) What else do I need to install the Breton lever, and how long does it take?
Nothing beyond a screwdriver on a door that's already bored. The set comes with the adjustable 6AL latch, the RCS strike, the interchangeable faceplates, and two keys, so a standard bored door is a few minutes of work. New door with no prep will still need a 2-1/8 inch bore and a 1 inch edge bore cut first.
12) What's an alternative to the Kwikset Breton if I need a keypad instead of a key?
For keyless on a lever, look at the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock, which fits doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches thick, or the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock. Both trade SmartKey re-keying for code entry. The Breton stays the simpler pick if you want mechanical keyed entry you can re-key yourself on KW1 or SC1.
13) Will a Kwikset Breton lever fit a 2 inch thick door?
The Breton set is supplied with an adjustable backset latch covering 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch standard door preparations. For thicker doors, peers that publish a wider range include the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6431 Linstead entry lever at the same range, and the Falcon K101 at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are the ones to look at when the door exceeds a standard residential thickness.
14) What is the difference between the Kwikset Breton entry lever and a storeroom function lever like the Cal-Royal AG05?
The Breton is an entry function lock: the outside lever is locked or unlocked by a turn piece on the interior side, and a key retracts the latch from outside. A storeroom lever such as the Cal-Royal AG05, a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, keeps the outside lever locked at all times with no inside turn piece, so it is the choice for a utility or supply room you never want left unsecured. The Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is another Grade 2 storeroom option for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
15) I want keyless entry instead of the Kwikset Breton keyed lever - what are my options?
The Breton is a key-operated entry lever with SmartKey re-keying and two keys supplied. If you would rather issue codes than keys, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Note the Lockey units listed here are passage function, so they latch without a separate locking turn piece on the inside.
16) I need a matching inactive lever on a closet or double door next to a Breton entry set - what do I order?
A dummy lever is the right part: it mounts as pull trim only, with no latch. Options include the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever in Grade 2, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever in Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy from the 5400 series. Dummy trim will not accept the 6AL latch or RCS strike that come with the Breton entry set, since there is nothing to latch.
17) Does the Kwikset Breton come with a deadbolt, and what do I order if I need lever and deadbolt together?
The Breton square rose set is a keyed entry lever with a 6AL latch and RCS strike; the locking is handled by the interior turn piece on the lever itself, not by a separate deadbolt. If you want both in one order, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo.
18) Is a knob lockset like the Arrow HK11-BB a substitute for the Breton lever?
Functionally they are close, but the trim is not interchangeable and one of them will not meet ADA lever requirements. The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Breton is a lever with a square rose, fully reversible for right and left hand doors. Where an accessible operable handle is required, the lever is the form to specify; the Lockey 2835 keyless lever is another lever-form option described as ADA compliant.
19) If I am specifying a fire rated opening, is the Kwikset Breton the right lever?
For a fire rated opening, specify hardware that carries a stated fire rating. Among comparable cylindrical levers, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock is fire rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever is fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Breton is a residential Grade 3 keyed entry lever, better suited to apartment interior and residential exterior doors outside the rated assembly.
20) What finishes does the Breton square rose lever come in?
Three: Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, and Matte Black. All three carry the same square rose trim, so you can mix finishes across openings and keep the escutcheon shape consistent.
21) Does the Breton lever have an antimicrobial coating for a healthcare or shared-entry door?
The hardware is treated with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the surface 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected hardware. Worth noting it's a residential Grade 3 lever, so for a healthcare facility corridor you'd be specifying a heavier commercial lock rather than this one.
22) What is the difference between the Breton square rose lever and a round rose lever set?
The difference is trim shape only, not function. The Breton lever uses a square rose and is offered in satin nickel, bright chrome and matte black. Round-trim alternatives in a similar residential style include the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando round trim passage leversets, both Grade 2, while the Bravura Tampa carries square trim like the Breton. Pick the rose that matches the other doors in the unit; the backset and door prep requirement is driven by the latch, not the rose.
