Kwikset 405DNL-15S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset Dorian 405DNL keyed entry lever fit a standard 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset door?
Both. The Dorian 405DNL ships with an adjustable 6AL latch that sets to either 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into standard residential door prep without ordering a separate latch. The RCS strike is included as well.
2) Is the Kwikset Dorian lever handed, or can I use it on both left and right hand doors?
The Dorian lever is fully reversible, so one lockset covers both left and right hand doors. You do not order handing, and a property manager buying several can stock a single part number for the whole building.
3) Can I key the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian lever to match my existing Schlage keys?
Yes, within limits. SmartKey Security lets you re-key the lock yourself in seconds, and it accepts either the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway. So if your building runs SC1 keys, you can re-key this lever to an existing SC1 key rather than carrying two keys. Two keys come in the box.
4) Is the Kwikset Dorian 405DNL rated for commercial use in an office building?
It is a residential-duty lock, ANSI/BHMA Grade 3. For an apartment unit entry, a rental house, or a light-traffic door that is appropriate. For a commercial opening with heavy daily cycles you want Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical hardware instead, such as the Hager 2525 entry lever (Grade 2) or a Grade 1 Dexter C1000 Series lock.
5) Is the Kwikset Dorian 405DNL a substitute for a storeroom or classroom function lever?
No. The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is an entry function lever whose locking mechanism works from a turn piece on the interior side, so the inside lever can be locked by the occupant. Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times with no inside turn piece, which is the Cal-Royal AG05, a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever. For classroom function, where the outside lever is locked and unlocked only by key, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 6-pin Schlage C keyway.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian keyed entry lever if I want a comparable Grade 3 keyed entry lever from another brand?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certified keyed entry lever with SmartKey re-key technology. Two Grade 3 keyed entry levers sit in the same duty class: the Master Lock RL01, a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lockset in the RL Series, and the Callan Artino CLN-360201, a Grade 3 entrance leverset. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is also a Grade 3 entrance/office lever, built with a solid brass forged body and fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. None of those three carry SmartKey, so re-keying them is a conventional pinning job rather than the user-performed re-key the Dorian allows.
7) The Dorian 405DNL is residential rated. What should I use instead on a commercial opening that sees heavy traffic?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a residential Grade 3 keyed entry lever. For a commercial opening, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 keyed cylindrical lever: the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a medium duty Grade 2 cylindrical lever with entry/office function. For the heaviest openings, the Dexter C1000 series runs Grade 1, including the C1000 classroom lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those commercial locks use conventional cylinders rather than SmartKey.
8) Our building keys to Schlage C. Does the Kwikset Dorian 405DNL fit that system, or do we need something else?
SmartKey on the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is compatible with the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so it can be brought onto an SC1 system. If the building is pinned to the 6-pin Schlage C keyway instead, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever both ship with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS uses a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. On Yale hardware, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit.
9) Do I need a locksmith to re-key Kwikset SmartKey locks when a tenant moves out?
No. SmartKey re-keying is done on the door with the existing key and a new key in seconds, no cylinder removal and no pinning kit. For a landlord turning units that is the main reason to buy this lever over a conventional pin-tumbler entry lock. Installation itself takes a screwdriver.
10) What is the difference between the Kwikset Dorian entry lever and a passage or dummy lever?
The Dorian 405DNL is a keyed entry lock, meant for exterior doors where you need to lock and key the opening. A passage lever latches but never locks (for example the Bravura Atlanta or Callan Asheville), and a dummy lever is a pull with no latch at all (Callan Bentley, BEST 7KC single dummy trim). Buy the entry version only where the door actually needs a key.
11) I do not need a key on this interior door. What non-keyed lever matches the Dorian on the rest of the doors?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a keyed entry lever for exterior doors where keyed security is needed, so it is more lock than an interior door requires. For hall and closet doors, passage levers such as the Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011, a Grade 3 passage leverset, or the Bravura Atlanta BVR-BV333002, a Grade 2 passage leverset, latch without any locking. For a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy function with the 5048 rose. And where the lever is purely decorative on an inactive leaf, the Callan Bentley CLN-BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever.
12) We do not want to issue keys at all. What keyless lever can replace the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian ships with two keys and re-keys through SmartKey, so every user still carries a key. To drop keys entirely, 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 thick, and the Lockey 1150S is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with an adjustable backset for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. For an electronic code lock, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
13) Will the Dorian 405DNL work on a 2 inch thick door?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian latch has an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch to fit standard door preparations. If the leaf is thicker than a standard residential door, look at levers that publish a wider thickness range: the Hager 2510 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are conventional or non-keyed designs rather than SmartKey.
14) Does the Kwikset Dorian 405DNL include a deadbolt, and what should I order if I need one?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a keyed entry lever supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the locking is handled by the interior turn piece rather than a separate deadbolt. If the opening calls for a deadbolt alongside the lever, the Callan Bennett CLN-BN3001R is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo.
15) I need a lever that matches the Dorian on a fire rated door. Which one should I specify?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a residential Grade 3 keyed entry lever. Where the opening is a rated door, specify a lever that carries a fire rating: the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are non-keyed passage functions, so pair them with a separate keyed device if the opening also needs to lock.
16) The Dorian 405DNL is reversible. Do I have to order handing on the alternatives?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian lever is fully reversible and installs on right or left handed doors, so one part number covers both. Several peers are likewise non-handed: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers. Handing does have to be called out on some decorative half dummies, where the Baldwin Estate 5103 is ordered as a distinct left hand or right hand part.
17) What finishes does the Kwikset 405DNL Dorian entry lever come in?
Two: Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze. Both are the same Dorian traditional-style lever, so you can mix finishes across a building and keep the same lever shape and the same keying setup on every door.
18) Does the Kwikset Dorian lever have an antimicrobial coating for healthcare or hospitality doors?
The hardware is treated with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps door hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That applies to the lever surface itself and is a reason it gets specified in multi-family and hospitality settings where the lever is touched constantly.
19) If I want a keyed entry lever and a deadbolt on the same door, what should I order?
The Dorian 405DNL is the lever only, with its latch and strike. If you want one package covering both functions, the Callan Bennett is an entrance leverset sold as a deadbolt combo. Otherwise pair the Dorian with a separate deadbolt and re-key both to the same key using SmartKey.
20) The Dorian lever is a traditional style in satin nickel and venetian bronze. What if I want a decorative or designer lever instead?
The Kwikset 405DNL Dorian is a traditional style lever offered in Venetian Bronze and Satin Nickel. For a more decorative look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with the 5048 rose is offered in passage, privacy, and left or right hand half dummy versions, and the Emtek Classic brass leversets include the Cortina lever in a dummy pair. Deltana also offers entry function levers in several trims, including the Claremont 5851 and the Morant 6411. Those designer lines use conventional cylinders rather than SmartKey.
