Kwikset 83254-001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Kwikset 83254 set screw pack actually do on a lever?
The 83254 screws are the set screws that lock a Kwikset lever handle onto its spindle. They go in during install, and they're the part you replace when a lever starts spinning loose or a screw goes missing during a rekey or a tear-out. Genuine Kwikset OEM, so the thread and head match what came out of the lockset.
2) Which Kwikset locksets does the 83254 set screw fit?
Kwikset passage, privacy, and interior smart entry leversets. If the lever you're working on is a keyed exterior entry lock or a deadbolt, this isn't the screw for it.
3) My Kwikset lever keeps coming loose on the door. Do I need a whole new lockset?
Usually not. A lever that wobbles or turns without retracting the latch is almost always a stripped or backed-out set screw, and the 83254 pack replaces just that screw on Kwikset passage, privacy, and interior smart entry levers. Pull the lever, swap the screw, retighten. Cheaper than pulling the whole lock, and the rest of the trim stays on the door.
4) What set screws replace the ones on a Corbin Russwin ML2000 mortise lever instead of the Kwikset 83254?
The Kwikset 83254 set screw pack fits Kwikset passage, privacy, and interior smart entry leversets, so it is not the part for a Corbin Russwin ML2000 trim. For ML2000 escutcheon trim, Corbin Russwin publishes its own screw packets: the 429F31 Grade 1 screw packet for the N escutcheon, and the 433F77 Grade 1 screw pack for M and P escutcheons. Match the packet to the escutcheon letter stamped on the trim you are reworking.
5) Can I use a generic hardware-store set screw instead of the Kwikset 83254?
Set screws are thread- and head-specific to the lever they came from, and the 83254 is the genuine Kwikset part for passage, privacy, and interior smart entry levers. A near-miss thread will strip the lever's boss, and then you are replacing the lever, not the screw. Order the OEM screw.
6) I'm restocking a maintenance cart for a building with Kwikset levers. Is this the right screw to keep on hand?
It is, for the interior openings. One pack covers passage, privacy, and interior smart entry levers, which in most multi-family and commercial interiors is the bulk of the door count. Kwikset lists the 83254 under model 83254-001.
7) What model number do I order for the Kwikset lever set screw?
Kwikset 83254, catalogued as model 83254-001. There's one configuration, so there's no finish or length to specify when you order it.
8) What's the difference between a set screw pack and an escutcheon screw pack?
Different jobs on the lock. A set screw like the Kwikset 83254 clamps the lever to the spindle so the handle doesn't spin. An escutcheon screw pack, such as the Corbin Russwin 433F77 for ML2000 M and P escutcheons, holds the trim plate to the door. If your plate is loose you want the escutcheon screws; if the handle is loose you want the set screw.
9) Is a Corbin Russwin 425F86-8 flat screw the same thing as a Kwikset 83254 set screw?
No. The Corbin Russwin 425F86-8 is a single 8-32 x 3/8 inch flat screw for the ML2000 mortise line, while the Kwikset 83254 is a pack of set screws that secure lever handles on Kwikset passage, privacy, and interior smart entry leversets. A flat screw seats flush in a prepped countersink; a lever set screw bears against the lever hub to lock the handle to the spindle. They are not interchangeable in either direction.
10) I need screws for the strike, not the lever. What do I order?
The Kwikset 83254 is a lever set screw pack and does nothing for a strike. On the Corbin Russwin side, the 206F57-8 is a Grade 1 strike combo screw for the ML2000 line, which is the fastener that holds the strike in the frame prep. Ordering a lever screw pack when the strike is what is loose leaves the opening exactly as it was.
11) Is the Kwikset 83254 screw meant for residential doors or commercial work?
ZenSupply carries the 83254 as commercial door hardware, and it's the same screw whether the Kwikset lever is on an apartment interior door or an office corridor door. Passage, privacy, and interior smart entry levers turn up in both.
