Kwikset KWI-720AYKMDT Arroyo Knob with Midtown Rose Passage Door Lock with 6AL Latch and RCS Strike

It latches only, no locking. The Arroyo passage set is for interior openings that need no lock function, like hallway, pantry, and closet doors. If you need the door to lock from inside for a bath or bedroom, go to a privacy set instead, such as the Pamex FTF privacy knob or the Dexter C2000 privacy knob.

No handing to specify. The Arroyo Midtown rose passage set is universal handing and installs on right hand or left hand doors as shipped, so one part number covers every interior opening in the building.

The 6AL latch ships with three interchangeable faceplates: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. That covers a routed mortise with radius corners, a square-corner mortise, and a bored edge with no mortise at all, so you can match what is already cut in the door instead of re-prepping it. An RCS (round corner) strike is included for the frame.

It is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified but catalogued as a residential product, so it suits apartments, single family, and light multi-family interiors. For a school, hospital, or heavy commercial corridor, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical passage knob like the Schlage D10S or the Falcon X101, which is listed heavy duty with a fire rating.
