Kwikset 802AUHLIP-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Kwikset 802AUH Austin handleset actually lock, or is it just the exterior trim?
The Austin 802AUH is a dummy exterior pack. The handle itself doesn't operate anything, so there's no interior trim and no working latch retraction from the lever. It's the exterior grip and plate plus the deadbolt hardware for a door where you want the look and the deadbolt security. If you need a lever that retracts a latch and an interior side, look at a keyed entry handleset such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever instead.
2) Will the Kwikset Austin handleset fit my existing door bore and backset?
The latch is adjustable between a 2-3/8 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which covers both of the backsets used in standard residential door prep, so it drops onto an existing bored door without redrilling. The latch faceplate has a round corner profile, so if your current latch has a square corner faceplate you'll need to swap the mortise or use a round corner cut.
3) Is the deadbolt on the Kwikset Austin handleset Grade 1?
The handleset deadbolt is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified, the top residential security grade, and it throws a full 1 inch bolt. That 1 inch throw is what gets the bolt deep enough into the jamb to be worth reinforcing the strike behind it with long screws into the framing.
4) Can I use a dummy exterior handleset on a door that needs to lock?
Yes, and that's exactly what this configuration is for. The Austin's lever is non-functioning, but the deadbolt is a real Grade 1 deadbolt with a 1 inch throw, so the door locks on the bolt rather than on the handle. It suits a door you pull shut and bolt (a front door with a separate interior operation, or a door where the handle is decorative). If you want the latch to hold the door closed by itself, this isn't the part.
5) The Kwikset Austin 802AUH exterior handleset does not lock - what do I order if I need a keyed entry handleset instead?
For a keyed opening, the Schlage F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is an entrance function in the F Series, Grade 2, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset with Hudson knob is a single cylinder function fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset Austin exterior pack is a non-functioning handleset, so it will not provide keyed entry on its own.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Kwikset Austin dummy exterior handleset if I want a non-functioning handleset with a lever?
The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset comes with a New Heaven lever and is built as a dummy function, the same non-functioning arrangement as the Austin exterior pack. The Weslock 2815 is part of the Premiere Essentials Series and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, so it covers standard residential door stock.
7) My door is 2 inches thick - which handlesets cover that range?
The Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors as a single cylinder function. The Yale Assure BYRD226NRRX with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy each go up to 2 inches, from 1-3/8 inch.
8) Is the Emtek 3002 Memphis a direct substitute for the Kwikset Austin 802AUH exterior handleset?
Both are dummy-function handlesets, but they are built differently. The Emtek 3002 Memphis is a brass mortise entrance handleset in dummy function, which is a mortise-prepped door. The Kwikset Austin exterior pack uses a latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset and a bored preparation, plus a Grade 1 certified handleset deadbolt. Confirm your door prep before swapping one for the other.
9) Does an interconnected lock like the Schlage JI18/19 do the same job as the Kwikset Austin exterior handleset?
No. The Schlage JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, a Grade 2 JI Series unit in passage function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the lever retracts the latch and the deadbolt is keyed. The Kwikset Austin exterior pack is non-functioning - the lever does not operate a latch.
10) Is the Kwikset Austin handleset rated for commercial use?
It's a residential product. The deadbolt carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification, which is a strong residential security rating, but the handleset is built for homes and light multi-family entries rather than a commercial opening with a closer and heavy traffic. For apartment and single-family front doors it's appropriate.
11) What other dummy handlesets can I get instead of the Kwikset Austin?
A few genuine dummy-function alternatives: the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob, both listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and Emtek's solid brass mortise dummy handlesets in the Memphis 3002, Hamilton 3004, Melrose 3005 and Manhattan 3006 styles. The Weslocks are the closest in build and price tier; the Emteks are the step up in solid brass with a mortise-style plate.
12) I want a dummy handleset with a knob instead of a lever - what should I order?
The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset pairs with an Impresa knob rather than a lever. It is a dummy function in the Elegance Series and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.
13) What dummy handleset options are there in solid brass mortise style?
Emtek's brass mortise entrance handlesets are offered in dummy function across four designs: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan. All four are dummy-function brass mortise handlesets, differing in series styling.
14) Which handleset trims work on a 1-3/4 inch mortise-prepped entry door?
Baldwin's Estates 6542 Tremont entry mortise trim is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors in entrance function, offered as single cylinder (6542ENTR) and double cylinder (6542DBLC). Both are trim for a mortise lock body, not a complete bored handleset like the Kwikset Austin, which uses an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset latch.
15) Is there a satin nickel handleset alternative that matches the Austin's satin nickel option?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset comes in a satin nickel finish and is an entry function fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Kwikset Austin exterior handleset is offered in Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze.
16) What finishes does the Kwikset Austin 802AUH handleset come in?
Two: Venetian Bronze and Satin Nickel. Venetian Bronze is the darker oil-rubbed look that pairs with bronze lighting and dark door slabs; Satin Nickel is the brushed silver tone that matches most contemporary and stainless trim. For a fleet of doors, pick one and stay with it, since these two won't read as a match side by side.
17) What solid brass entry handleset styles are available if I want something dressier than the Austin?
Deltana offers solid brass entry handlesets in several series: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all in entry function. The Deltana 810871 Montego is another handleset in the range and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.
18) I need a handleset with a knob rather than a lever in entrance function - what are the options?
Baldwin's Wesley handleset is offered with two knob choices in entrance function: the 180WYHXATK with an Alcott knob and the 180WYHXCYK with a Carnaby knob. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is a single cylinder function fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
