Kwikset 730L-5-6AL-RCS-GC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Kwikset 730L Laurel knob a locking knob, and what rooms is it meant for?
The 730L Laurel is a privacy knob: it locks from the inside with a push or turn button and has no key cylinder outside. That makes it the right function for bathrooms and bedrooms, not for an exterior door or anything you need to key. If you want a knob that just latches with no lock at all, look at a passage function like the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob; for a keyed exterior or office door, a keyed entry function such as the Dexter C2000 Entry/Office is the one to order.
2) Do I have to order the Kwikset Laurel privacy knob in a specific handing for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The Laurel privacy knobset is reversible and fits left hand and right hand doors from the same box, so a property manager buying a dozen for a building doesn't have to survey which way each door swings first.
3) Will the Kwikset 730L latch fit my existing door prep, round corner or square corner faceplate?
Both, plus a drive-in. The 6AL latch ships with three interchangeable faceplates: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. So whether the old latch was mortised in with a square plate, a radius plate, or bored straight into the edge with no plate at all, you use the same latch and pick the face that matches the existing cutout. That's what keeps the swap from turning into chisel work.
4) Is the Kwikset Laurel privacy knob durable enough for apartment turns, and what grade is it?
It's ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified, which is the residential-to-light-commercial tier and a normal spec for apartment interior bed and bath doors. It is built as a residential lock, so for a school, clinic, or a high-traffic commercial interior corridor the heavier options make more sense, like the Grade 1 Schlage D Series or the Grade 1 Falcon X101 passage knobset.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 730L Laurel privacy knob from another brand?
The Dexter C2000 Series privacy knob is the nearest match. Both are ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 privacy/bed/bath cylindrical knob locks with no keyway. The Dexter C2000 privacy is a ball knob rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick and is non-clutching, while the Laurel 730L is a Kwikset Signature Series knob with a reversible chassis that fits right and left handed doors and ships with a latch carrying round corner, square corner, and drive-in faceplates.
6) I need a knob for an exterior or office door that takes a key. Is the Kwikset 730L Laurel the right one?
No - the Laurel 730L is a privacy knob for interior bedroom and bathroom doors and takes no key. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Dexter C2000 entry/office is a Grade 2 keyed ball knob over the same range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office knob with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
7) Which privacy knobs look like a substitute for the Kwikset 730L Laurel but are not?
Dummy knobs are the common mix-up. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series single dummy, the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset, and the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy are all knob-shaped and mount on a door, but they are fixed trim with no latch and no locking function. The Kwikset 730L Laurel is a privacy lock that ships with a 6AL latch and RCS strike and locks from the inside for a bedroom or bathroom.
8) I need to lock a storage or utility room with a knob. Does the Kwikset 730L Laurel work for that?
No - the Laurel 730L is a privacy function that locks from the inside for a bedroom or bathroom, so it cannot secure a room from the corridor. For a storeroom, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
9) What comes in the box with the Kwikset 730L Laurel privacy knobset?
You get the interior and exterior knobs, the 6AL latch with its three faceplates, and the RCS round corner strike. Nothing else is needed for a door that's already bored, and installation is a screwdriver job.
10) The strike plate on my door frame has square corners. Does the Kwikset 730L strike match?
The 730L comes with an RCS strike, which is a round corner strike. If your frame is mortised for a square corner or a full lip strike, the round corner plate won't cover the same cutout cleanly, and you'll want to reuse the existing strike or order a matching one. On a new bore in a wood jamb the RCS is the usual plate.
11) What finishes does the Kwikset Laurel privacy knob come in so I can match the rest of my doors?
Five: Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, Bright Chrome, Antique Brass, and Matte Black. Satin Nickel and Matte Black are the two that usually match modern multi-family packages; Venetian Bronze and Antique Brass are the warm-tone matches to older builder hardware.
12) I need a privacy knob but the Kwikset Laurel style doesn't match my project. What else is there?
Several other privacy knobs in the same function. The Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim over the same thickness range. The Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 like the Laurel, also 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. On the decorative side, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers a wider 1-3/8 to 2 inch door, and Baldwin Estate offers the 5077 Bethpage privacy knob and the 5000 Baltimore privacy set with a 2-3/8 inch backset.
13) Can I use the Kwikset 730L Laurel knob on a closet or hall door instead?
You can, but you'd be paying for a lock nobody should use there. A privacy knob has an inside locking button, and on a closet that means someone can lock the door from the inside face and shut it. For closets and halls order a passage function instead: the Arrow MK01 or RK01 passage knob covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors at Grade 2, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage over the same range.
14) Is the Kwikset Laurel a cylindrical knob that drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes, it's a cylindrical knob lock, the standard bored-door type. If the door already carries a knob or lever of the same type, the Laurel goes into the same holes and installs with a screwdriver. Mortise locks and tubular deadbolt preps are different animals and won't take it.
15) What is a decorative privacy knob alternative to the Kwikset 730L Laurel for a higher end interior door?
Three privacy knobs carry more traditional or ornamental trim. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with an R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy is preconfigured with a 5148 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Laurel 730L is a Kwikset Signature Series knob offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Antique Brass, and Matte Black.
16) I have a heavy traffic commercial interior door. Is the Kwikset 730L Laurel Grade 2 knob enough, or should I step up?
The Laurel 730L is a Grade 2 residential knob. For a commercial opening that wants a heavier chassis, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob in the D Series, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core and a fire rating, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are passage function, so they latch without locking.
17) I am replacing several interior doors at once and want one knob for privacy and one for passage that match. What pairs with the Kwikset 730L Laurel?
For a matched set from one brand, the Dexter C2000 Series runs privacy, passage, entry/office, and classroom functions all at Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Pamex FTF Baron runs privacy, passage, and entrance/office at Grade 3 over the same thickness range. Within Kwikset, the Laurel 730L is the privacy function and comes in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Antique Brass, and Matte Black so finishes stay consistent across a floor.
18) I'm standardizing a building on one interior knob. Does the Kwikset Laurel come in other functions to match?
The Laurel is a Kwikset Signature Series collection, so the knob style carries across functions and finishes and you can hold one look through bed, bath, and the rest of the interior openings while ordering the right function per door. Buying the privacy version for bed and bath and matching passage knobs elsewhere keeps the doors looking identical from the hallway.
19) Is there a keyless combination knob I can use instead of the Kwikset 730L Laurel privacy knob?
The Lockey 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 controls access by code rather than by an inside privacy button, so it suits a room you want restricted rather than a bedroom or bathroom, which is what the Kwikset 730L Laurel privacy knob is intended for.
20) Does the Kwikset 730L Laurel need to be ordered by handing, or do the alternatives?
The Laurel 730L is reversible and fits both right handed and left handed doors, so one part number covers either swing. Among the alternatives, the Arrow MK01 and Arrow RK01 are Grade 2 passage knobs for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for the same thickness range, which is a different way of covering variable openings from a single box.
