Kwikset KWI-730TNL Tustin Lever Privacy Door Lock with 6AL Latch and RCS Strike

The 730TNL latch has an adjustable backset that covers 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, which are the two standard bore-to-edge dimensions used on residential doors. If your old lever came out of a door prepped either way, the Tustin drops into the same hole with no redrilling. Three interchangeable faceplates ship with it, round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar, so it also matches whichever latch mortise or drilled latch bore is already in the door edge.

No handing to specify. The Tustin lever is fully reversible and installs on right hand or left hand doors, so one part number covers every bedroom and bath door in a building regardless of swing. That is what makes it practical to stock a single SKU for a whole floor of units.

The 730TNL is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified and catalogued as residential. Grade 2 is the middle residential and light commercial tier, which suits unit interiors, bedrooms and baths in multi-family. For a corridor, an office, or anything taking public traffic, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110, both heavy duty Grade 1 and both carrying a fire rating.

The Kwikset 730TNL Tustin is a non-keyed privacy set that locks with an interior turn piece only. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office cylindrical lever. All three hold the Tustin's Grade 2 rating, so a mixed bedroom-and-entry job can stay at one grade.

The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. It matches the 730TNL Tustin on ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and on the cylindrical privacy bed-and-bath application. The Tustin is a residential Signature Series lever with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a fully reversible lever; the Hager 2540 is a commercial-line lever with a stated door thickness range instead. For a bedroom or bathroom door where a facility wants commercial trim, the 2540 is the direct swap.

The Arrow MK02-TA is a non-keyed privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. It covers the same bed and bath privacy function as the Kwikset 730TNL Tustin but with a knob instead of a lever. Note the trade: the Tustin lever is the ADA-friendly shape and carries an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset, while the MK02-TA is fixed to the thicker 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door range and adds a fire rating.

The Kwikset 730TNL Tustin is a residential Grade 2 lever. For a commercial corridor or restroom that sees heavier use, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lever with pressure release technology. Both are passage function, so if the opening must lock from the inside the Tustin privacy function is what covers it and the Grade 1 Falcons do not.

Two traps. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever that shares the Tustin's grade and lever format, but its function is passage, hall and closet, so it has no interior lock. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, which is trim only with no latch at all. The Kwikset 730TNL Tustin locks with a turn piece on the interior and ships with a latch and strike, so neither of those will close out a bedroom or bathroom opening.

Six finishes: Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Bright Brass, and Matte Black. If you are matching existing Kwikset trim on other doors in the building, Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze are the two that most commonly turn up already installed, so pull one old lever and compare before committing a bulk order.

The strike comes in the box. The 730TNL is supplied with a 6AL latch and an RCS (round corner) strike, so you have the complete set for one door, latch, strike, and both lever trims. Installation needs only a screwdriver. Nothing else is required unless you are also adding a deadbolt above it, which is a separate lock.

For a privacy lever in a different look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is the decorative option, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy set with a Tudor knob rather than a lever, plus a fire rating. Both are privacy function, same job as the Tustin. Note the Arrow is a knob, so if ADA lever operation matters on the opening, that one is out.

You can, but you would be paying for a lock you do not want. The Tustin 730TNL is a privacy set with an interior turn piece, and a closet door has no inside. Use a passage lever instead: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Falcon B101 are both Grade 2 passage function, and the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever with a flat lever. Passage levers latch the door without locking at all.

No. The Tustin 730TNL has no cylinder at all, it locks with a thumbturn on the inside face, so there is nothing to key and nothing to master key. Privacy sets sit outside a keying schedule by design. Any door that has to fall under your master system needs a keyed lever, and that is a different function code.

The Kwikset 730TNL Tustin locks with a turn piece on the interior, which a closet or hall door does not need. For those openings, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with the Withnell design for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design. Both hold the same Grade 2 rating as the Tustin, so a property manager can run privacy levers on the bedrooms and passage levers down the hall at one grade.

The Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy version with the 5048 rose, so it covers the same bed and bath function as the Kwikset 730TNL Tustin. Order the exact function you need: 5103 comes as privacy, as passage, and as a half dummy in separate right hand and left hand versions. That handing matters because the Tustin lever is fully reversible and installs on either hand from one box, while the Baldwin half dummy is ordered handed.

The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. Both sit a grade below the Kwikset 730TNL Tustin, which is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified, and neither carries the privacy bed and bath function. If the requirement on the drawing is Grade 2 privacy, the Tustin meets it and the Callan Grade 3 levers are a different specification.

The Kwikset 730TNL Tustin latch has an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch to fit standard door preparations. When the leaf itself is outside the ordinary interior range, the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 Asylum covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are Grade 1 rather than the Tustin's Grade 2, and neither is a privacy function, so confirm the opening's locking requirement before switching.

Yes, if the goal is controlling a door without issuing keys. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, matching the Kwikset 730TNL Tustin's Grade 2 rating. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination, passage function, for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. These are code-controlled entry devices; the Tustin is the simple interior privacy lever for a bedroom or bathroom.

Microban antimicrobial protection is built into the 730TNL finish rather than applied as a coating, and Kwikset states it keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It does not replace cleaning or disinfecting, so normal housekeeping routines stay the same. It is the reason this lever gets specified in healthcare-adjacent and senior housing interiors where touch surfaces are part of the facility plan.

For dummy trim beside a working lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, which shares the Kwikset 730TNL Tustin's Grade 2 rating. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed equivalent. The Tustin itself is a privacy set with a latch and strike, so it is not the part for a non-latching closet or French door leaf.

Bravura offers passage leversets in Grade 2 across several trim shapes: Atlanta and Orlando with round trim, and Tampa with square trim. The Kwikset 730TNL Tustin is Grade 2 as well, and its latch ships with interchangeable round corner and square corner faceplates plus a drive-in collar, so the door prep can follow whichever trim shape the job standardizes on.
