Kwikset KWI-740HFLRDT-S Halifax Lever with Round Rose Entry Door Lock SmartKey with 6AL Latch and RCS Strike

The Halifax lever's latch has an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inches to 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into either of the two standard bored preps without redrilling. The latch also ships with three interchangeable faceplates, round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar, so it matches whatever the existing mortise pocket in the door edge is cut for. Install is a screwdriver job.

One part number covers both. The Halifax lever is fully reversible and installs on right handed or left handed doors, so you don't specify handing when you order and you can stock a single lever across a building with mixed swings.

Residential. The Halifax carries ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA, which is the top residential rating for security, durability and finish, and it is built for houses and apartment units, not commercial traffic. If you are hanging hardware on an office, school or public corridor door, go to a commercial cylindrical lock instead: the Falcon K101 and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 are Grade 1 non-keyed cylindrical levers, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 option.

The Halifax uses Kwikset SmartKey Security, which lets you re-key the lock yourself in seconds with the existing key and a learn tool, no cylinder removal and no locksmith. That is how you bring a batch of units onto one key or reset a single unit after a tenant moves out. Two keys come with the lock.

The Kwikset Halifax is a residential entry leverset certified ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA for residential security, durability and finish, with SmartKey Security and a latch adjustable from 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset. For an opening that has to meet a commercial spec instead, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Both are keyed entry function like the Halifax, but they are graded on the ANSI commercial scale rather than the residential one.

The Kwikset Halifax entry lever is a residential lockset with a latch adjustable from 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset for standard door preps. If the leaf itself is 2 inches thick, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Backset and door thickness are separate dimensions, so confirm the thickness range as well as the backset before ordering.

The Kwikset Halifax is an entry function leverset for exterior doors where keyed entry and security are needed, with SmartKey Security and a rekeyable cylinder. A bath or bedroom door wants privacy function, where a turn button locks the door and an emergency release opens it from outside: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose, the Hager 2540 privacy lock with the Withnell lever, and the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 2 privacy lock with a Tudor knob all cover that function. Privacy sets are not keyed, so they will not accept a house key or a SmartKey rekey.

Entry function on the Kwikset Halifax lets the interior turn piece leave the outside lever unlocked, which is wrong for a room that must never be left open. Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked permanently and retracts the latch only by key: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a mechanical or electrical room with no inside locking hardware allowed, the Dexter C1000 asylum function lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and is keyed both sides.

Where a fire-rated opening is involved, specify a lock the manufacturer lists as fire rated. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are passage function, so if the fire door also needs to lock, take that requirement to a keyed model in the same commercial series.

The Kwikset Halifax uses SmartKey Security and ships with 2 keys, and it can be rekeyed on the door in seconds without pulling the cylinder. If the goal is to stop issuing keys entirely, mechanical and electronic keypad leversets replace the key with a code: the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Keypad sets change the code rather than the key, which is a different maintenance routine than rekeying.

Entry function on the Kwikset Halifax locks and unlocks from an interior turn piece, which most school districts will not accept on a classroom door. The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 classroom security version, same Grade 1 and same thickness range, is keyed both sides so the teacher can lock the outside lever from inside the room without opening the door. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

Different tiers of residential hardware. The Halifax is a contemporary round rose lever with SmartKey re-keying and an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset latch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is a decorative forged-brass line sold by function, so you order the passage, privacy or half dummy version separately, and the half dummy is handed left or right. Pick the Baldwin when the door is a design feature; pick the Halifax when you want field re-keying and a single non-handed part number.

No. The Halifax is the locking version with a turn piece on the interior, so for a hall, closet or pantry door you want a passage function lever instead. Options we carry include the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, or Miramar round trim passage leversets and the Bravura Tampa in square trim, all Grade 2, or the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage lever in satin nickel. For a dummy lever on an inactive leaf, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy.

Depends on whether you want to hand out keys. The Halifax is a keyed lever with SmartKey, so you can re-key it yourself between tenants but people still carry a key. A mechanical pushbutton lever removes keys entirely: the Lockey 2835 and the double-combination Lockey 2835DC fit doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches, and the heavy duty Lockey 1150 and 1150S fit 1-1/8 to 2 inches with an adjustable backset. Those are code-entry passage function locks, so they are the pick for a shared door where the code changes rather than the key.

The Kwikset Halifax is a keyed entry leverset for exterior doors where keyed entry and security are needed. For a hall, closet or interior opening that only needs a latch, passage function levers cover the same job without a cylinder: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Passage function levers have no key and no locking, so they are not a substitute anywhere the door has to secure.

The Kwikset Halifax is a working entry lever with a latch and a cylinder. A dummy lever mounts to the face of the door with no latch and no operation at all, for inactive leaves and pantry pulls: the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim cylindrical lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes in left hand and right hand versions with the 5048 rose. A dummy lever will not latch a door closed, so it only suits an opening that is held by other means.

The Halifax is built around SmartKey Security, which is rekeyed at the lock by the owner rather than pinned to a house keyway. A building keyed on Schlage C is usually easier to standardize with locks that state that keyway: the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a 6-pin Schlage C keyway lockset keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is the same keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock uses a conventional cylinder in Schlage C. Mixing SmartKey and a conventional keyway on the same master plan means two rekeying procedures for the maintenance crew.

The Kwikset Halifax is a keyed entry leverset supplied with a 6AL latch and an RCS strike, so a deadbolt would be a separate order on the same door. The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo, which puts the lever and the deadbolt together in one set. If the opening only needs the latch, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset without the deadbolt.

Several lever parts sit close to the Kwikset Halifax in a search but do not replace it. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical series, meaning it is trim for another device rather than a complete lockset. The Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in entry function, again trim for an exit device. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, and the Codelocks CL410 and CL415 tubular latchbolt is a latch component. None of these give you a working keyed lever on a bored door the way the Halifax does.

The Kwikset Halifax lever is fully reversible and installs on right hand and left hand doors without any handing change. Among the commercial options, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock both use non-handed levers as well. Handed sets do exist in the same category, such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a specific left hand or right hand part, so confirm handing before ordering anything outside a reversible line.

Six finishes: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Bright Chrome, Satin Brass, and Matte Black. That is the full range, so if you are matching hinges and a deadbolt already on the opening, pick from those six. The trim is a round rose in a contemporary style, which reads flat and plain rather than ornate.

Yes, the Halifax carries Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Worth noting that it is a residential-rated lever, so for a healthcare facility it suits staff apartments or resident rooms rather than a commercial corridor opening.

The Kwikset Halifax pairs a fully reversible lever with a round rose in a contemporary style, offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Bright Chrome, Satin Brass and Matte Black. Other round-rose leversets include the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando passage leversets with round trim, both Grade 2, and the Bravura Miramar round trim passage leverset in US4 satin brass, Grade 2. The Bravura Tampa uses square trim instead, so it will not match a round-rose set already on the other doors.
