Kwikset 730PHL-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order a left-hand or right-hand Kwikset Perth privacy lever?
No handing to specify. The Perth lever is fully reversible and installs on right-hand or left-hand doors, so one part covers every interior opening in the unit.
2) Can I use the Kwikset Perth privacy lever on a bedroom or bathroom door?
That is exactly the function. The Perth privacy lever locks by pushing the button on the interior side, which is the standard bed and bath application. It takes no key and no cylinder.
3) Will the Kwikset Perth latch match my existing door edge mortise, or do I need to chisel it out?
The 6AL latch ships with three interchangeable faceplates: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. Match whichever the existing mortise was cut for, or use the drive-in collar on a bored hole with no faceplate mortise at all. The RCS strike is the round corner style.
4) I need a keyed exterior lock, not a bedroom privacy lock - what should I order instead of the Kwikset Perth privacy lever?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL is a privacy-function interior lever, locked by pressing the push button on the inside, so it takes no key and is intended for bedroom and bathroom doors. For a keyed exterior opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance-function unit that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is another Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in entrance function.
5) Can I use the Kwikset Perth privacy lever on a thick 2-1/4 inch door?
No. The Perth is a standard residential interior lever set. For doors running 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick you need hardware rated for that range, such as the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset or the Yale Ridgefield handleset sets, which list that thickness range.
6) Is the Kwikset Perth privacy lever rated for commercial use?
It is a residential product, ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. Grade 2 covers light commercial and residential duty; for a high-traffic commercial corridor you want a Grade 1 cylindrical lever instead.
7) Is there an antimicrobial option on the Kwikset Perth lever for a healthcare or senior living property?
Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the Perth lever, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It is a residential-grade lock, so it suits assisted living apartments and guest rooms rather than a Grade 1 clinical corridor.
8) What is the difference between the Kwikset Perth privacy lever and a non-keyed handleset like the Schlage JE285?
Different openings. The Perth is a bored interior lever with a push-button privacy lock, made for bedroom and bath doors. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry-style handleset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, sized and styled for a front or patio door where you want the thumb-latch look without a cylinder.
9) What is the closest alternative if I want a lever handleset look on an interior door with no lock at all?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL locks with an interior push button, so it always latches and locks. If you want hardware that only pulls the door closed with no locking function, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever is a dummy-function unit for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek 3005 Melrose brass mortise handleset is also a dummy.
10) I need a bedroom-to-hall door that also carries a deadbolt - is there an alternative to the Perth privacy lever?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL is a single privacy lever with a 6AL latch and RCS strike and no deadbolt. For an opening that needs both a lever and a bolt, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock pairs a Torino lever in passage function with a keyed deadbolt and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.
11) What matches the Perth lever's adjustable backset if I need a keyed handleset on the front door of the same house?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL latch adjusts 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch to fit standard bores. On the keyed side, the Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with an adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 is a keyed entry handleset also built with an adjustable backset.
12) My door is thicker than standard - which handlesets cover doors over 1-3/4 inch?
For thick doors, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder unit rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
13) Which alternative should I look at if the door is prepped for a mortise lock rather than a bored tubular lock?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL installs in a standard bored door prep with a screwdriver using its 6AL latch. If the opening is mortise-prepped, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is made for 1-3/4 inch doors and comes in single cylinder and double cylinder versions, both entrance function.
14) What tools do I need to install the Kwikset Perth privacy lever?
A screwdriver. It installs into an existing standard bore in minutes with no special tooling, which is why it works well for a property manager swapping worn levers across a block of units.
15) I want knob trim instead of a lever - what are my options?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL uses a fully reversible lever. If the job calls for knob trim, the Baldwin Wesley handleset is offered with an Alcott knob or a Carnaby knob, both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset uses a Hudson knob on doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.
16) Is there a keyless electronic option instead of a mechanical lock for the entry door?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL is a mechanical privacy lever for interior use. For a keyless exterior opening, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset runs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset over Wi-Fi.
17) If I want solid brass trim rather than the Perth's satin nickel or matte black, what else is available?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-730PHL comes in satin nickel and matte black. For solid brass construction, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass handlesets in entry function.
