Kwikset 740HFLRCT-15S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 740 Halifax lever fit my existing door with a 2-3/4 inch backset, or do I need a different latch?
The Halifax entry lever ships with a 6AL adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches, so it drops onto either of the two standard bore preparations without ordering a separate latch. Those are the only two backsets used on residential doors, so an existing bored opening will take it as-is.
2) Is the Kwikset Halifax keyed lever handed, or does one part number work on both left and right hand doors?
One part number covers both. The Halifax lever is fully reversible and installs on a right hand or left hand door, so there is nothing to specify on the order and nothing to swap out if you get to the opening and find the swing is the other way.
3) Can I key the Kwikset 740 Halifax to match the Schlage keys already on my other doors?
SmartKey lets you re-key the cylinder yourself in seconds, and it works with either the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway. So if the rest of the building runs SC1, you can bring this lever onto that key rather than carrying a second key. No cylinder swap and no locksmith trip, just the SmartKey tool and a working key.
4) Will the Kwikset Halifax lever latch into the strike plate that is already in my door frame?
The latch throws 1/2 inch, which is the standard residential cylindrical projection, and it comes with an RCS (round corner) strike. It ships with three interchangeable faceplates too: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. Between those you can match the mortise cut already in the door edge, and if the existing frame strike is in good shape and lines up at the same height, the 1/2 inch throw engages it.
5) Is the Kwikset 740 Halifax rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a residential product, certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2, which is the highest residential grade. For an apartment entry or light commercial door that is usually fine, but for a heavy traffic commercial opening you want a Grade 1 cylindrical lever instead, such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series, both Grade 1 and both listed as fire rated.
6) Can I use the Kwikset Halifax keyed lever on a classroom or storeroom door that has to lock behind you?
No. The Halifax is an entry function lock with an interior turn piece, so anyone inside can unlock it. A storeroom function, which stays locked outside at all times and needs a key every entry, is a different lock: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For a classroom function, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is the Grade 2 option at a 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 keyed lever substitute for the Kwikset Halifax 740HFL if I do not need SmartKey rekeying?
The Kwikset Halifax 740HFL with rectangular rose is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 keyed entry lever whose rekeying is done through SmartKey. If you want a keyed lever in the same grade with a conventional cylinder instead, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/8 inch backset, and covers doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Hager 2525 is another Grade 2 cylindrical entry lever with a lever handle, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. The trade is rekeying method: the Halifax lets you rekey at the door yourself in seconds, while the Cal-Royal and Hager use standard cylinder rekeying at a bench or by a locksmith.
8) The Halifax lever is rated residential Grade 2 - what do I use on a commercial opening that sees heavy traffic?
The Kwikset Halifax 740HFL is a residential ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 keyed entry lever. For a heavier commercial opening, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 with a clutching keyed design and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, which keeps the outside lever locked at all times rather than using an interior turn button.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Kwikset Halifax entry lever but will not work on a keyed exterior door?
Several levers share the same cylindrical body and lever look but are not keyed entry functions. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Accentra 4601LN are both Grade 2 passage/closet function, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim, meaning it does not retract a latch at all. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered as separate left hand and right hand parts, unlike the Halifax lever, which is fully reversible for either handing. For a keyed exterior opening you need an entry or entrance function such as the Hager 2525.
10) How does the inside of the Kwikset Halifax entry lever lock, is there a key on both sides?
Keyed outside, turn piece inside. You lock and unlock the interior side with a thumbturn on the lever rose, no key needed from within. That is the normal entry function for a front or side door, and it is the reason this is not a suitable choice for a door that has to stay locked against the inside as well.
11) Do I need a locksmith to install the Kwikset 740 Halifax, or can maintenance staff handle it?
A screwdriver does it. The lever installs in a standard bored prep in a few minutes with no drilling if the door is already bored, and the adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch latch means nobody has to measure and order the right backset ahead of time. For a property manager running a turn, that is the point of it: one part number, either hand, either backset, and re-keyable on the spot with SmartKey.
12) What is the difference between the Kwikset SmartKey Halifax and a keypad or keyless lever for a rental unit?
Both solve tenant turnover, differently. SmartKey means you keep the same lock and re-key it yourself in seconds between tenants, so you still hand out physical keys. A mechanical keypad lever like the Lockey 1150 or the Lockey 2835 removes keys entirely and you change the code instead; those fit thicker doors as well, 1-1/8 to 2 inches on the 1150 and 1-3/16 to 2 inches on the 2835. If you want a keyed lock people can copy keys for, the Halifax is the one; if you want no keys in circulation at all, go keypad.
13) I need matching levers for interior doors that do not lock - what pairs with a keyed Halifax entry lever?
The Halifax 740HFL is a keyed entry function for exterior doors where security is needed, so the interior doors on the same run need a non-keyed function instead. Passage options include the Bravura Atlanta round trim passage leverset and the Bravura Tampa square trim passage leverset, both Grade 2, and the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. For a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with 5048 rose is offered in a privacy function. A closet or door that only needs a pull uses a dummy, such as the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever.
14) Which lever should I use instead of the Halifax 740HFL on a thick commercial door around 2 inches?
The Halifax 740HFL latch has an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset to fit standard door preparations, and it is a residential lock. For thicker leaves, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, is fire rated, and uses non-handed levers. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever is built for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors and is fire rated. Both of those are non-keyed passage functions, so if the opening also needs a key, look at the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch.
15) If I want keyless entry instead of a keyed Halifax lever, what are the options?
The Halifax 740HFL is keyed and rekeyable with SmartKey using a KW1 or SC1 keyway. If you would rather issue a code than cut keys, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a keypad option in the Classic series. For a mechanical pushbutton with no batteries, the Lockey 2835 keyless lever lock is ADA compliant with a passage function and fits doors 1-3/16 to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 to 2 inch. Note the Lockey units listed are passage function, so the code retracts the latch rather than driving a keyed cylinder.
16) For a school or classroom door, what should I specify rather than the Halifax 740HFL keyed lever?
The Halifax 740HFL locks with an interior turn piece, which is an entry function, not a classroom function. For a classroom opening, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is Grade 1, clutching, keyed, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 classroom security version adds the second cylinder in the same grade and thickness range. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 option with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset. A utility or holding room takes the Dexter C1000 asylum function, Grade 1, keyed both sides, for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
17) Is a Grade 3 keyed lever a workable alternative to the Grade 2 Halifax 740HFL on a rental unit?
The Halifax 740HFL is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 for residential security, durability and finish. The Master Lock BC Series return style lever is a Grade 3 keyed entry lockset, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Callan Bennett Grade 3 entrance leverset comes as a combo with a deadbolt, which is worth noting if the unit door needs both functions keyed together.
18) What finishes does the Kwikset Halifax lever with rectangular rose come in?
Three: Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, and Matte Black. If you are standardizing a building, pick one and it carries across the whole run of Halifax entry levers, and the rectangular rose gives you a square trim look rather than the round rose most builder grade levers use.
19) Is the Halifax lever an antimicrobial door handle?
The latch carries Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Worth knowing for healthcare or hospitality specs, though it is a residential Grade 2 lock, not a healthcare grade one.
20) Is there a decorative alternative to the Kwikset Halifax rectangular rose lever for a keyed entry door?
The Halifax 740HFL pairs a lever with a rectangular rose in satin nickel, bright chrome, and matte black. If the door calls for a more ornamental look with the same keyed entry duty, Deltana offers several entry levers: the 5851 Claremont, the 6201 Manchester and the 6411 Morant, with the Manchester and Morant both covering doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick. The Deltana 6431 Linstead is a further entry lever in the same thickness range. These use conventional keying rather than the Halifax SmartKey rekey.
