Kwikset 405DNL-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Kwikset Dorian 405DNL handed, or can I use it on both my left and right hand doors?
No handing to specify. The Dorian lever is fully reversible and installs on right or left hand doors, so one part number covers every opening in a building. Useful if you are stocking a few spares for a portfolio of units.
2) What does the Kwikset 405DNL entry lever actually do when locked, and is it keyed outside?
It is a single cylinder entry function: key cylinder on the exterior, and a turn piece on the interior that throws the lock. That makes it a front door or exterior entry lock, not a passage or privacy set. Two keys come in the box.
3) I need a keyed entry lever, not a privacy or passage set. Which of these is right?
The Kwikset Dorian 405DNL is the keyed entry one, single cylinder with a key outside. Most lever sets sold alongside it are not keyed: the Callan Newport and Schlage AL40 are privacy (bed/bath), and the Schlage LT10, Callan Silona and Bravura Cary are passage latches with no locking at all. For another keyed entry lever, the Weslock 3740 Impresa Woodward is an entrance function set.
4) Is the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian heavy duty enough for a commercial corridor, or should I spec something else?
The 405DNL Dorian is classified as residential hardware and carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification. For commercial traffic, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever: the Hager 3440 with Archer design is a Grade 1 cylindrical privacy lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Sargent 28-10U65 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy cylindrical lock in the 10 Line Series, and the Schlage ND95 Vandlgard is a Grade 1 heavy duty keyed classroom security lever. Those cover non-keyed and keyed openings respectively; the Dorian remains the traditional-style residential entry choice.
5) Can I use a Baldwin M514 Boulder entry trim in place of the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian?
No - they are not interchangeable even though both are entry-function levers. The Baldwin M514 Boulder is a full escutcheon single cylinder entry mortise trim, so it dresses a mortise lock body and requires a mortise pocket in the door. The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a cylindrical lock that installs in a standard bored door prep with a 6AL adjustable latch covering 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets. Baldwin also offers the M514 Boulder as knob entry mortise trim if a knob is wanted on a mortise door.
6) What is a keyed entry lever equivalent to the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian from another brand?
The closest cross-brand match is the Weslock 3740 Impresa Woodward, which is also an entry-function lever lock supplied with an adjustable latch and full lip strike, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a single-cylinder keyed entry lever with a 6AL adjustable latch covering 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and an RCS strike, and its interior turn piece handles locking. Both are residential-style entry levers; the Weslock sits in the Molten Bronze series, while the Dorian is a traditional-style Kwikset collection carrying ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification.
7) I need the same Dorian lever look on a bedroom or bathroom door - what do I order instead of the keyed 405DNL?
The 405DNL Dorian is an entry lock with a key cylinder outside and a turn piece inside, which is not what a bath or bedroom door wants. For privacy function, the Callan Newport is a Grade 3 privacy leverset, matching the 405DNL's ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification level. If the door is 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Weslock 0610 Bordeau is a privacy lever in the Traditionale series with an adjustable latch and full lip strike. Baldwin's 5137 lever with the 5046 rose is another privacy option.
8) I want keyless entry instead of the Kwikset 405DNL's key - what are my options?
The 405DNL Dorian is a single-cylinder keyed entry lever supplied with two keys. If you would rather not issue keys, 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, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination fitting 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Yale YRL226 Assure Lever is an electronic touchscreen single-cylinder lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Note the Lockey units are mechanical combination locks with no cylinder, while the Yale keeps a key cylinder alongside the touchscreen.
9) Does the 405DNL come with a strike plate or do I need to order one?
A strike is included. The 405DNL ships with the 6AL latch and an RCS (round corner) strike, so the latch and strike are in the box with the lever. If your frame is prepped for a square-corner or full-lip strike, you will need that separately.
10) Is a keyless keypad lever a better choice than a keyed Kwikset entry lever for a rental I turn over often?
If you are rekeying between every tenant, a mechanical keypad set removes that work. The Lockey 1150 and Lockey 2835 lever locks are keyless pushbutton/combination units; the 1150 fits doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick and the 2835 fits 1 3/16 to 2 inches. The tradeoff is those listed Lockey models are passage function, so you get code entry rather than a keyed deadlocking entry set like the Dorian 405DNL.
11) The door does not need to lock at all - what is the simpler alternative to the Kwikset 405DNL?
For a hall, closet, or pantry door that only needs a latch, drop the keyed entry and use a passage lever. The Schlage LT10 is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Callan Silona is a Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Bravura Cary with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset. The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian, by contrast, is a single-cylinder keyed entry lock intended for exterior doors where keyed security is needed and ships with two keys.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian lever but will not lock a door?
The Baldwin 5108 right hand half dummy lever with 5048 rose is dummy function - a fixed pull with no latch and no locking at all, used on inactive leaves. It is handed right, so it is not reversible. The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a keyed entry lock whose lever is fully reversible for right and left hand doors, and it locks from an interior turn piece. Passage sets such as the Emtek Stuttgart tubular stainless steel lever latch the door but also do not lock.
13) How does the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian compare with a Schlage non-keyed lock for apartment turnovers?
They serve different doors. The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a single-cylinder keyed entry lever with an interior turn piece, Grade 3 certified, with a reversible lever and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset so it drops into either standard prep. The Schlage AL40 is a Grade 2 heavy duty non-keyed bath and bedroom privacy cylindrical lock and is non-handed, and the Schlage A10 is a Grade 2 heavy duty non-keyed passage knob. Use the Dorian on the unit entry door and the non-keyed Schlage units on interior doors.
14) Is there a key-in-lever alternative to the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian for an institutional opening?
Yes. The Sargent 10-1120 is a push button key-in-lever in the 10X Line Series furnished with standard cylinder prep, which suits facilities that key to an existing commercial cylinder program. The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a residential single-cylinder keyed entry lever that ships with two keys and is Grade 3 certified, with Microban antimicrobial protection on the hardware surfaces.
15) What finishes does the Kwikset Dorian 405DNL entry lever come in?
Three: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, and Antique Nickel. If you are matching existing hardware across a building, Satin Nickel is the usual match for brushed chrome-tone trim and Venetian Bronze for dark oil-rubbed looks.
16) Do I need special tools to install the Kwikset Dorian lever on a unit turnover?
A screwdriver does it. The 405DNL installs in minutes with no drilling required on a door already bored for a standard cylindrical lock, which is why it works for quick turnovers between tenants.
17) Is there an antimicrobial option on the Kwikset Dorian lever for healthcare or high-touch doors?
The Dorian 405DNL is treated with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps door hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It is built into the finish, not a coating you apply. Note this is a residential-duty Grade 3 lock, so for institutional traffic the antimicrobial benefit comes paired with a lighter duty rating.
