Kwikset 740MILSQT-26DS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 740 Milan lever fit a door already bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset, or do I need the 2-3/4?
Either one. The 6AL latch that ships with the Milan lever has an adjustable backset covering both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into the two standard residential door preps without ordering a separate latch. That is the main reason this set works as a fleet-wide replacement across doors bored by different builders.
2) Can I install the Milan lever on a left-hand door, or do I have to order handing?
No handing to specify. The Milan lever is fully reversible and installs on right-hand or left-hand doors as it comes out of the box, so you can buy one part number for a whole building and sort the swing at the door.
3) Can I key the Kwikset 740 Milan to my existing Schlage keys?
SmartKey re-keying on the 740 Milan works with either the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so an SC1 version can be re-keyed to a key already carried on an SC1 system. Re-keying is done at the door in seconds with the SmartKey tool rather than by pulling and pinning the cylinder. Two keys come with the lock.
4) Is the Kwikset Milan keyed entry lever strong enough for a commercial building?
The Milan lever is a residential product, ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and certified at the highest residential level for security, durability and finish (Grade AAA). For commercial traffic, offices, or a storeroom door, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical set like the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever (1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors) or the Falcon K101 in the K Series. For light commercial entry the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock.
5) What faceplate does the Kwikset Milan latch use, and will it match the mortised prep already cut in my door?
Three interchangeable faceplate options ship with the lock: round corner, square corner, and a drive-in collar. Square corner covers a chiseled square prep, round corner drops into a routed radius prep, and the drive-in collar handles a bored edge with no mortise at all, so you are not re-chiseling the door edge to match. A full lip round strike is included for the frame.
6) Will the Kwikset 740 SmartKey lever key alike with my other Kwikset locks?
Yes, as long as they share a keyway. SmartKey on the Milan lever runs KW1 or SC1, and any SmartKey locks on the same keyway can be re-keyed to a single key you already hold, in seconds each, without pulling cylinders. Pick the keyway that matches the system you are already running before you order.
7) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Kwikset Milan SmartKey lever for an entry door in a rental building?
The Milan lever with square rose is a Grade 2 residential keyed entry lever with SmartKey re-key. For an entry opening that needs a commercial lockset, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entrance/office function, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, door thickness 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All three key by conventional cylinder rather than SmartKey.
8) Which lever should I use on the interior doors when the exterior door gets the Kwikset Milan?
The Milan lever is a keyed entry lock for exterior doors where keyed entry and security is needed. Interior doors that only need latching take a passage function lever: the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever in the Withnell design with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. Bedroom and bathroom doors take a privacy function instead, such as the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever.
9) What do I use instead of the Kwikset Milan lever on a classroom or storeroom door in a school?
The Milan is a residential lock with a turn piece on the interior, which is not the function an institutional opening calls for. For classroom doors, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching, keyed mechanism for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a storeroom, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness.
10) I need a keyed entry lever on a fire-rated corridor door - can I use the Kwikset Milan?
The Milan is a Grade 2 residential keyed entry lever. For a fire-rated opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Both of those are passage function, so a keyed corridor opening pairs the fire-rated Grade 1 platform with a keyed function such as the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 entry/office lever.
11) Which lever do I use where the door has to release on a fire alarm or card reader instead of a key?
The Milan is a mechanical keyed entry lever with a turn piece and no electrified option. For an access controlled opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running on 12VAC/DC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, offered with the NZ lever and D rose. Fail safe means the lever unlocks when power drops, which is the behavior a fire alarm release or a card reader on an egress path is usually specified for.
12) How does the Kwikset 740 Milan lock and unlock from inside? Is there a thumbturn?
Locking is by a turn piece on the interior side of the lever set, keyed from the outside. That is standard entry function: lock the door from inside without a key, enter from outside with one. If you need a door that latches but never locks, that is a passage set instead, and if you want pushbutton privacy for a bedroom or bath, that is a privacy set.
13) I manage apartments and re-key between tenants. Is SmartKey actually worth it over a standard keyed lever?
That turnover job is exactly what SmartKey is for. Re-keying is done at the door in seconds with the existing lock in place, no cylinder removal and no pinning kit, so a unit change over is a walk down the hall rather than a locksmith call. The trade off is that it is a residential Grade 2 lock, so it suits apartment unit doors rather than heavy common-area traffic. A keypad set like the Delaney LP250 (Grade 2) removes keys from the process entirely if you would rather issue codes.
14) What tools do I need to install a Kwikset 740 Milan lever, and does anything else have to be ordered?
A screwdriver does the whole job on a door already bored for a standard cylindrical lock. The latch, the three faceplate options and the full lip round strike are all in the box, along with two keys, so nothing further is needed for a standard prep. On a door with no bore, you will need a 2-1/8 inch hole saw kit for the face and the edge bore first.
15) Can I match the Kwikset Milan lever on interior doors that do not need a key?
The 740 Milan is the keyed entry function only, meant for exterior doors and main entrances. For hall, closet and bedroom doors in the same job, use a passage or privacy leverset. Comparable options include the Bravura Tampa square trim passage leverset (Grade 2), the Bravura Orlando or Atlanta round trim passage sets, or the Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage lever in Satin Nickel. Square trim is the closer visual match to the Milan square rose.
16) Is the Kwikset Milan a good substitute for a Grade 1 lever on a heavy-use door?
No. The Milan is a residential Grade 2 lever, and a door taking constant traffic wants a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical set. The Falcon T101 (Grade 1, heavy duty, T Series) and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 (Grade 1, fire rated, 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors) are the kind of thing that belongs on those openings. Swapping a residential lever onto a high-cycle door is how you end up replacing it twice.
17) What lever matches the Kwikset Milan square rose styling on a closet or non-latching door?
The Milan keyed entry lever uses a square rose. For a closet or pantry door that needs no lock, the Bravura Tampa passage leverset is a Grade 2 lever with square trim. For a door leaf that does not latch at all, such as a fixed inactive door or a pantry with a ball catch, a dummy lever is the correct part: the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty cylindrical lever trim.
18) Is a keypad lever a substitute for the Kwikset Milan SmartKey entry lever?
They solve different problems. The Milan lever is keyed and ships with 2 keys, using SmartKey re-key technology compatible with the Kwikset KW1 or Schlage SC1 keyway. A keypad lever opens by code instead: the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick. The Lockey units are passage function, so they latch and release by code and do not carry a keyed cylinder for a master key system.
19) What is a lower-grade keyed entry lever if the Kwikset Milan is more lock than the opening needs?
The Milan is Grade 2 certified with SmartKey re-key. A Grade 3 keyed entry lever covers lighter residential duty: the Master Lock BC Series is a Grade 3 return style lever keyed entry lockset, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. None of those re-key with SmartKey, so a building already standardized on Kwikset re-keying would be splitting its key system.
20) Which keyed entry lever should I pick if I want an entry lever and deadbolt keyed together?
The Milan is a keyed entry lever on its own, with a turn piece locking the interior side. If the opening calls for a lever and deadbolt as one set, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo. Where the deadbolt is separate, the Milan's SmartKey works with the Kwikset KW1 or Schlage SC1 keyway, so it can be brought onto the same key as other SmartKey cylinders.
21) I have a thicker than standard door - does the Kwikset Milan fit, or do I need something else?
The Milan latch has an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch to fit standard door preparations. Where the door leaf itself is thicker than standard, look at a lever with a stated wide thickness range: the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Thin leaves down to 1-1/8 inch are covered by the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set.
22) Is the Baldwin Estate 5103 a substitute for the Kwikset Milan keyed entry lever?
No. The Milan is a keyed entry lock for exterior doors. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose comes as a passage lever, a privacy lever, and left hand and right hand half dummy levers, none of which take a key. Baldwin's handed half dummies also differ from the Milan, which is fully reversible for right or left handed doors.
23) What is the difference between the Kwikset Milan lever and a lever trim for an exit device?
The Milan is a complete cylindrical keyed entry lockset with its own latch and strike. A lever trim is not a lockset - it mounts to an exit device or a lock chassis already on the door. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with entry function. Ordering either of those for a bare bored door leaves you without a latch.
24) Can I keep one lever style across a building if some doors need Grade 1 and others do not?
Several families run one trim design across grades, which the Milan does not do since it is a Grade 2 residential keyed entry lever only. Hager's Withnell lever appears on the 2510 Grade 2 passage, the 2540 Grade 2 privacy, and the 2580 Grade 2 storeroom. Design Hardware runs its flat lever on both the J75 passage in Grade 2 and the X75 passage in Grade 1, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. Accentra's Augusta trim spans the 5301LN Grade 2 passage in the 5300 Series and the 455LN Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy in the 5400 Series.
25) What finishes does the Kwikset Milan square rose lever come in?
Five finishes on the Milan square rose entry lever: Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, Matte Black, Bright Chrome, and Satin Chrome. Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze are the usual matches to existing residential trim; Matte Black pairs with the square rose for contemporary work.
