Kwikset 788SELRH-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Kwikset Sedona half dummy a complete lockset, or do I need to order something else with it?
It is the interior half only. The Sedona half dummy ships as an interior pack, and the matching Kwikset exterior pack has to be bought separately to complete the opening. It is built to go with Kwikset handlesets, so the usual order is a Kwikset handleset on the outside with this lever as the inside trim. Ordering it on its own leaves you with one side of the door done.
2) Is the Kwikset Sedona half dummy lever rated for commercial use in an office building or school?
It is a residential lock. The Sedona half dummy is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified but catalogued for residential duty, which suits apartments, condos, single family and light multi-family work. For a commercial or institutional corridor, a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy trim is the right call, such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever or the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy. If you want Grade 2 but commercial-catalogued, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is medium duty.
3) I need a lever on a closet or hall door that actually latches, not a dummy. What should I order instead?
The Kwikset Sedona half dummy is a non-functioning lever, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet door, passage function is the right choice: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever in the 5300 Series.
4) The door needs to lock with a key, not just carry a lever. What replaces a half dummy on a keyed entry?
A half dummy has no cylinder and no latch, so a keyed opening needs an entry or storeroom lockset. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever with entry/office function.
5) What Grade 1 fire rated lever should I use instead of a residential dummy on a rated corridor door?
The Kwikset Sedona half dummy is a residential Grade 2 product. For a rated corridor opening, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever with a fire rating, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
6) What finishes does the Kwikset Sedona half dummy lever come in, and can I match it to the rest of the door?
Three finishes: Satin Nickel, Satin Brass and Matte Black. Those are the full run, so if the handleset, hinges and deadbolt on the opening are a finish outside those three, the Sedona half dummy will not match. Property managers standardizing a building typically pick one of the three and keep it across the handleset and the interior trim, since the exterior pack is ordered separately and has to be specified in the same finish.
7) Is one Kwikset Sedona half dummy enough for a pair of French doors, or do I need two?
A half dummy covers one side of one door, so a pair of doors that both need a pull takes two. If you want both faces of the same inactive door trimmed, that is a full dummy pair, not a half dummy; ZenSupply stocks dummy pairs such as the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Emtek Classic Cortina lever dummy pair. Buyers replacing trim across several doors in a building usually order the half dummy per leaf and keep the finish consistent.
8) How hard is a Kwikset Sedona half dummy lever to install, and do I need to bore the door?
A screwdriver does it. The Sedona half dummy installs in minutes with just a screwdriver, and because it is a non-functioning lever there is no latch to mortise and no cross bore to cut for the lever itself. On a retrofit you are working off the prep the existing handleset already has in the door.
9) I need a dummy lever but not from Kwikset. What else does ZenSupply carry?
Several, and they split by duty. For residential and decorative work the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose comes in left and right hand versions, and Emtek offers dummy pairs in the Arts and Crafts, Hammered and Cortina levers. For commercial openings the dummy trims are Grade 1 in the BEST 9K Series 1DT and the Accentra 455LN Augusta, or Grade 2 medium duty in the BEST 7KC Series. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Unlike the Kwikset Sedona, none of those are sold as a handleset interior pack, so they do not require a matching exterior half.
10) Is a Baldwin 5103 half dummy the same thing as the Kwikset Sedona half dummy?
Both are half dummy levers, so both mount a single fixed lever with no latch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed and sold as separate right hand and left hand parts with the 5048 rose, and it is offered in a matching passage and privacy version on the same 5103 lever. The Kwikset Sedona half dummy is a Signature Series interior pack intended for installation with Kwikset handlesets, with the exterior pack purchased separately, and it comes in Satin Nickel, Satin Brass and Matte Black.
11) I need dummy levers on both sides of a French door pair. Does the Sedona half dummy cover that?
A half dummy is a single-side lever, so a pair of doors needs two units or a dummy pair. Emtek sells dummy levers as a pair in several trims: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Cortina lever dummy pair in the Classic Brass line. All are dummy function, the same non-latching action as the Kwikset Sedona half dummy.
12) Does handing matter when I swap a Sedona half dummy for another brand?
It can. The Kwikset Sedona half dummy is listed with a reversible hand direction. Among comparable dummy levers, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed and ordered as a right hand or a left hand part, while the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim and the Accentra 455LN Augusta are dummy trim rather than handed pairs. On passage alternatives, the Falcon B101 and Falcon K101 use a non-handed design.
13) I want a lever with a privacy turn for a bedroom or bath instead of a dummy. What are the options?
A half dummy will not lock, so a bed or bath door needs privacy function. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever uses the same 5103 lever and 5048 rose as the Baldwin half dummy, which keeps the trim matching across a run of doors. In knob trim, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
14) Can I put a keypad lever where a Sedona half dummy is mounted?
Not directly - a half dummy opening has no latch bore prepped for a functioning lockset, so a keypad lever is a change of function, not a trim swap. Keypad options include the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150S heavy duty mechanical keypad lever with adjustable backset for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
15) What lever should I standardize on for a school or institutional facility rather than a residential dummy?
The Kwikset Sedona half dummy is a residential product. For institutional standardization, the Dexter C1000 Series offers Grade 1 cylindrical levers in classroom, classroom security and entry/office functions for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, plus an asylum F87 function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset.
16) What is the difference between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 passage lever if I am upgrading from residential trim?
Within one maker the grade tracks the duty rating. Design Hardware offers the X75 passage lever lockset as Grade 1 in the X Series and the J75 passage lever lockset as Grade 2 in the J Series, both flat lever and both for 1-3/4 inch doors. Falcon splits the same way: the T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology in the T Series, while the B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever in the B Series.
17) Does the Kwikset Sedona lever have an antimicrobial coating for a healthcare or high-traffic entry?
Yes. Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the Sedona lever, which Kwikset states keeps the door hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Worth noting for hospitality and multi-family common areas, though the lock itself is a residential-duty Grade 2 product, so a healthcare facility standardizing on Grade 1 commercial hardware should look at the heavy duty dummy trims instead.
18) What Grade 3 lever options exist if I am matching builder-grade residential hardware rather than the Sedona?
The Kwikset Sedona half dummy is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. At Grade 3, the Callan Asheville is a passage leverset in Satin Nickel, the Callan Artino is an entrance leverset, and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a return style keyed entry lockset. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) Which passage levers give me a square or round rose look as an alternative to the Sedona trim?
The Bravura passage leversets are all Grade 2 and split by trim shape: the Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar use round trim, while the Tampa uses square trim. The Miramar is offered in US4 Satin Brass, which matches the Satin Brass finish the Kwikset Sedona half dummy comes in.
