Kwikset KWI-720PSKRDT Pismo Knob with Round Rose Passage Lock with 6AL Latch and RCS Strike

Universal handing. The Pismo passage knob is reversible, so the same box works on a left hand or right hand door with no parts swap and nothing to reorder if you get the swing wrong on site. For a property manager buying a case of these for interior doors, that means one SKU covers every opening in the building regardless of which way the door swings.

It never locks. Passage function means both knobs turn at all times and there is no button, no keyway, no cylinder. It's for hallways, closets, laundry rooms and pantry doors. If you need a bathroom or bedroom door that locks from inside, you want a privacy knob instead, like the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob or the Dexter C2000 privacy knob. If you need a keyed exterior or office door, that's an entrance function such as the Callan Edgewood Grade 2 entrance knobset.

The 6AL latch ships with three interchangeable faceplates in the box: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. So whichever way the old latch mortise in the door edge was routed, you can match it. Round corner suits a router prepped door, square corner suits a chiseled mortise, and the drive-in collar lets you skip the edge mortise entirely on a bored door with no faceplate pocket. That's three prep conditions covered without ordering a separate part.

It's a residential product, ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. That's fine for apartment interiors, hotel closets and light multi-family use, but for a commercial corridor or a school where you need heavy duty cycle life, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical passage lock such as the Schlage D10S Orbit knob or the Falcon X101, both Grade 1 heavy duty passage. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 is another Grade 1 passage/closet option.

No. The Pismo 720PSK is a passage knobset that ships with a 6AL latch and an RCS strike, so the knob turns and retracts a latch. A dummy knob is fixed trim with no latch mechanism - it is used on a door held by a roller catch or a ball catch, or on the inactive leaf of a pair. Dummy options include the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim (BEST-6K-1DT), a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical knob; the Schlage A170 (SCH-A170-NONKEYED), a Grade 2 single dummy trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch; the Cal-Royal BA40 (BA40), a dummy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Bravura Biloxi (BVR-BV34722), a Grade 2 round trim dummy knobset. If the door needs to latch shut, a dummy will not substitute for the Pismo.

The Pismo 720PSK is a residential Grade 2 passage knobset. For a fire rated opening, the Falcon W101 (FAL-W101-KNOB) is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a passage/closet latch function, a 2-3/4 inch backset, and a fire rating. The Falcon X101 (FAL-X101) is the heavy duty version, Grade 1, fire rated, with an interchangeable core and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Both hold the same passage function, so the door still pushes open without a key.

The Pismo 720PSK is a passage knobset for interior doors that require no locking function. Several passage knobsets cover the same function. The Dexter C2000 Series passage knob (DEX-C2000-PASS-KNB) is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical ball knob with a passage/hall/closet function and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Arrow MK01 (AR-MK01) is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob lock, non-keyed, for the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range. The Corbin Russwin CK4410 (COR-CK4410-NONKEYED) is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob over the same thickness range. All three match the Pismo on function and on ANSI/BHMA Grade 2.

The Pismo 720PSK is a residential passage knobset carrying an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification. For heavier commercial traffic there are Grade 1 passage knobs in the same function. The Schlage D10S (SCH-D10-NONKEYED) is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed passage latch with an Orbit knob. The Falcon X101 (FAL-X101) is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 (COR-CK4310-NONKEYED) is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. All three hold the same passage function as the Pismo at a higher grade.

The Pismo 720PSK is built for interior doors requiring no locking function, such as hallway and closet doors, so a bedroom or bath needs a privacy function instead. The Dexter C2000 privacy knob (DEX-C2000-PRIV-KNB) is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy/bed/bath cylindrical ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob (PMX-FTF10) is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset over the same thickness range. The Cal-Royal BER20 (BER20) is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob (BAL-5000PRIV) is a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike.

The Pismo 720PSK is a passage knobset with no locking function, so a keyed opening needs an entrance or entry function. The Dexter C2000 entry/office knob (DEX-C2000-ENTR-KNB) is a Grade 2 keyed cylindrical ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Cal-Royal BER00 (BER00) is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway, same thickness range. The Callan Edgewood (CLN-G2KE1001) is a Grade 2 entrance knobset. The BEST 8K Series (BEST-8K-AB) is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder entrance knob lock. The BER00 is the one to look at if the facility is already keyed to a Kwikset keyway.

A screwdriver. The Pismo passage set comes as a complete knobset: both knobs on round roses, the 6AL latch with its three faceplate options, and the RCS strike with screws. Nothing else is required on a door that is already bored for a cylindrical lock. Kwikset publishes an installation guide for the 720PSK if you want the step by step before the crew goes out.

Not the right part. A passage set has a working latch and needs a bored door and a strike. For a closet door held shut by a ball catch or magnet, or for the inactive leaf of a double door, you want a dummy knob, which is just the trim with no latch. Options include the Schlage A170 single dummy, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, or the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset.

Closest like for like on grade and function: the Bravura Albany or Bravura Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets, both Grade 2 passage. The Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage are also direct matches on grade and function, and both state a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Arrow MK01 and RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs in the same range. Where the Pismo differs from all of them is the Microban treated finish and the three-faceplate latch.

Check the door before you commit to a single set across mixed stock. Interior doors in older residential buildings are commonly 1-3/8 inches while newer and commercial leaves run 1-3/4. If you have both thicknesses in the portfolio and want one part number that covers them, the Dexter C2000 passage knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 and the Arrow MK01 all state a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 goes to 2 inches for thick or fire rated leaves.

The Pismo 720PSK is a knob on a round rose in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Satin Brass and Matte Black. For a different knob shape on round trim, the Bravura Albany (BVR-BV335002) and the Bravura Lynchburg (BVR-BV336002) are both Grade 2 round trim passage knobsets. If a rectangular rose suits the door better, the Bravura Dallas (BV947-200) is a Grade 2 passage knobset with rectangle trim in a US4 Satin Brass finish. For a traditional egg-shaped knob, the Omnia 434/PA (OMN-434/PA) is a passage latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection. The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial (BAL-5011 - PASS) is a passage knob on a 5058 rose.

The Pismo 720PSK covers only the passage openings, the hallway and closet doors that need no locking function. For doors that must stay locked from the outside, the Sargent 6G04 (SGT-6G04) is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 (SGT-8XG04) is the Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For classroom function, the Dexter C2000 classroom knob (DEX-C2000-CLRM-KNB) is a Grade 2 keyed cylindrical ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Mixing functions within one knob shape is how a facility keeps a consistent look across mixed openings.

The Pismo 720PSK is a mechanical passage knob with no locking function, so it does not control who comes through. The Lockey 3830 (LOC-3830) is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick - it retracts on a code rather than a free turn, then relocks itself. It is not a drop-in substitute for a passage knob: an opening that should stay freely operable in both directions wants the Pismo or another passage function, not a code-entry lock.

No. The Pismo 720PSK is a cylindrical knobset that installs through a standard bored door prep with a 6AL latch and an RCS strike. Exit device trim mounts to a panic bar, not to a bored door. The Sargent 28C-KNOB (SGT-28C-KNOB) is exit device trim with a knob and rose in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 (IMP-ED-BKL580) is knob trim in storeroom function from the ED-500 Series. The Sargent 78-2875 (SGT-78-2875) is an outside knob only with a B design from the 7800 Series. None of these will complete a bored door on their own.

Yes, Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the finish. That's a consideration for healthcare, assisted living and hospitality buyers specifying touch surfaces on interior passage doors. It's integral to the finish rather than a coating you reapply.

Round rose. The Pismo is a round knob on a round rose, so it covers the ring left behind by most standard residential cylindrical knobs, which are also round. If the door previously carried a square or rectangular trim plate, the round rose will not hide the outline; the Bravura Dallas passage knobset uses rectangle trim if you need to stay with that footprint.

The Pismo 720PSK is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. For a lighter interior duty rating, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob (PMX-FTF30) is a Grade 3 knob lockset with a passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Grade 3 is the lighter of the two cycle and strength ratings, so it suits closets and low-traffic interior openings rather than corridors that see constant use.

The Dexter C2000 Series passage knob (DEX-C2000-PASS-KNB) is a Grade 2 non-clutching cylindrical ball knob in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Arrow RK01 (AR-RK01) is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with a ball knob, same thickness range, from the RK Series. The Arrow MK01 (AR-MK01) is the MK Series passage knob at the same grade and thickness range. A ball knob is the common choice where a fleet of doors already carries that profile and a replacement needs to match the rest.
