Kwikset KWI-408PLL Palmina Lever Privacy Door Lock with RCAL Latch and RCS Strike

Not handed. The Palmina lever is fully reversible, so the same set goes on a right hand or left hand door without ordering a different part. That matters if you're buying several at once for a building, you can stock one item and use it on any bedroom or bath door regardless of swing.

A privacy set locks; a passage set does not. The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL is the privacy function, locked by a turn piece on the inside of the door, which is what you want on a bathroom or bedroom. If the door is a closet, hallway, or pantry where nobody needs to lock it, buy a passage lever instead, for example the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando Grade 2 passage leversets, or the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage set.

It's a residential-duty lock. The Palmina 408PLL is built and catalogued for residential use, which is fine for apartment interiors and single family work but light for a corridor or high-traffic commercial opening. For a commercial privacy application look at the Hager 2540 Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, or the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever if the finish quality matters more than cycle duty.

Yes, if the door carries a standard cylindrical prep, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore and either backset. That's the same prep knobs and levers share, so swapping a bathroom knob for the Palmina lever is a straight exchange with a screwdriver. The included latch adjusts to whichever backset the door was drilled for.

The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL locks with a turn piece on the interior, which a hall, closet or pantry door does not need. For those openings the passage version of the same trim family is the Baldwin Estate 5103 Passage Lever with 5048 Rose. In a commercial passage lever, the Hager 2510 is Grade 2 with the Withnell design and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design.

For a lever-style privacy set on a bedroom or bathroom door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is the direct counterpart - same privacy/bed/bath function, same lever format. The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL is a privacy leverset with an interior turn piece, a reversible lever that installs on right or left handed doors, and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset latch. The Baldwin 5103 differs in trim: it carries the 5048 rose as its escutcheon design.

The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL privacy lever is a residential set. For a commercial washroom, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so if lever operation is required for ADA on that opening, the Hager 2540 keeps the lever.

The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL is non-keyed - it locks from the inside with a turn piece only. For a keyed opening, the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever in a return style, the Callan Artino CLN-360201 is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the opening needs to stay locked with the outside lever always secure, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt.

Both are included. The 408PLL comes with the RCAL adjustable latch and the RCS strike plate, so nothing else is needed for a standard prepped door beyond a screwdriver. That's the whole install, no drilling if the door is already bored.

Kwikset builds the Palmina trim in passage and dummy functions as well as privacy, so the closet or hall doors can carry the same lever with no locking guts behind it. Order the Palmina passage function for a door that latches but never locks, and the dummy for a surface-mounted pull with no latch at all. Keeping the whole unit on one trim design is the usual reason people ask.

There's no key. The Palmina 408PLL privacy lever locks only from the turn piece on the room side, so there's no cylinder and no keyway to match. If you need a keyed lever on that opening instead, look at a keyed entry function, the Master Lock BC Series Grade 3 keyed entry lever or the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway are two the catalogue carries.

For interior bedroom and bath doors in residential units, yes. The Palmina is a lever rather than a knob, which is easier to operate with a full hand or elbow, and it's reversible so one part number covers every door swing in the building. It is a residential lock though, so use it inside units and specify something heavier for common-area doors.

No. The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL is a working privacy set with a latch and strike and a turn piece that locks the door. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch at all - it is pull-only. The Baldwin Estate 5103 dummy is sold as a handed half dummy in left hand and right hand versions, the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy ships as a pair, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim. Order a dummy only for an inactive leaf or a closet door that latches by ball catch.

The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL lever is fully reversible and installs on right handed or left handed doors, so handing does not need to be specified. Among comparable levers, the Falcon B101 and Falcon K101 both use a non-handed design. By contrast the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed and sold as separate left hand and right hand items, so that one does require the swing to be confirmed before ordering.

The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL latch adjusts for backset, 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch, which covers standard door preparations. If the leaf itself is thicker than standard, levers that state a wide thickness range include the Falcon K101 at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum function at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set at 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, so it starts at the thicker end rather than the thin end.

A keyless lever set replaces the turn piece with a combination. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version of the same lever. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Note these are passage function rather than the privacy function of the Kwikset Palmina 408PLL, so the door is released by code rather than held private from the inside.

For heavy traffic openings, Grade 1 cylindrical levers in the same format include the Falcon T101, a heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 heavy duty passage lever that is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Design Hardware X75 passage lever with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dexter C1000 series covers the keyed functions at Grade 1 - classroom, classroom security, and entry/office.

Privacy function is not appropriate where staff must never be locked out. For those openings the asylum function is the correct choice: the Dexter C1000 series asylum lock is Grade 1, function F87, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway and a ball knob. The Accentra 107S is a Grade 1 apartment exit/public toilet function device. The Kwikset Palmina 408PLL, by contrast, locks from the occupied side with a turn piece.

Four: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, and Satin Chrome. If you're matching existing hardware in a unit, Satin Nickel and Satin Chrome look similar at a glance but are not the same tone, so pull the old lever and compare rather than guessing from a photo.

Trim style is the main differentiator among comparable leversets. Bravura offers Miramar and Atlanta and Orlando with round trim, and Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage leversets. Accentra uses the Augusta trim design on both the Grade 2 5301LN and the Grade 2 4601LN. Deltana catalogs several entry lever patterns - Claremont, Manchester, Morant and Linstead - with the Manchester, Morant and Linstead fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

No - the Palmina 408PLL is a self-contained privacy leverset with its own latch and strike, not trim for another device. Lever trim for a pushpad exit device is a separate item, such as the Corbin Russwin 585F715 Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device, or the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in entry function. For a keyed classroom opening, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset.
