Kwikset 898AMD-514 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset Amador 898AMD fit my existing door prep, or do I need to re-bore?
The latch adjusts between a 2-3/8 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which covers both of the standard residential bore centers, so it drops into an existing standard door prep without drilling a new hole. Install is a screwdriver job.
2) I need a working keyed entry on the door, not a dummy - what do I order instead of the Amador 898AMD?
The Amador 898AMD is a dummy handleset, so the exterior handle does not operate a latch or accept a key. For a keyed opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison handleset with Accent lever is a single cylinder keyed entry in the F Series, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is single cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is single cylinder keyed entry covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
3) Are the Emtek 3002 Memphis and the other Emtek dummy handlesets substitutes for the Kwikset Amador 898AMD?
They are the same function but a different door prep. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan are all brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function, so they mount to a mortise pocket rather than the bored preparation the Kwikset Amador 898AMD uses with its adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset latch. If the door is already bored for a tubular handleset, a mortise dummy will not drop into the same cutout.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 898AMD Amador dummy handleset from another brand?
The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever is the nearest match in intent: it is a dummy-function handleset in the Premiere Essentials Series, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Kwikset Amador 898AMD is likewise a dummy handleset with no deadbolt function. The difference in the pairing is the grip: the Weslock 2815 comes with a New Heaven lever, while the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset from the Elegance Series pairs with an Impresa knob over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range.
5) The door is 2 inches thick - which handlesets cover that when the Amador 898AMD is on the short list?
For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset and the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset both cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy and Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy reach 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Schlage F60 Addison and JE285 Barcelona stop at 1-3/4 inch.
6) What is the difference between the Amador 898AMD dummy handleset and the Schlage JE285 Barcelona non-keyed handleset?
Both leave the key out of the picture, but they behave differently at the door. The Kwikset Amador 898AMD is dummy function - the exterior handle is non-functioning and there is no deadbolt in the pack. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function handleset in the J Series, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so the lever actually retracts a latch. Choose the dummy where the door is held by another lock or is a fixed inactive leaf.
7) Can I use the Amador dummy handleset on the inactive leaf of a double door?
That's the usual use for it. Because the 898AMD has no deadbolt and no keyed function, it works as the pull on an inactive leaf or on a fixed panel where you only want the look of a full handleset. Note it's supplied as the exterior half, so the inside face of that leaf needs to be handled separately.
8) Is the Kwikset Amador handleset rated for commercial or apartment entry doors?
It's a residential product, and the deadbolt in the Amador platform carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certification. For multi-family or light commercial openings where a higher grade is specified, look at a Grade 2 handleset such as the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset or the Schlage Residential F60 Addison.
9) Can I add a deadbolt to the Kwikset 898AMD Amador later?
The 898AMD ships without a deadbolt and without a cylinder, and it's built as a dummy, so it won't convert. If the opening needs a working deadbolt behind a handleset, buy a keyed entry version from the start. In the same residential class, the Schlage F60 Addison and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial are single cylinder keyed entry handlesets.
10) Will the round strike included with the Kwikset Amador handleset drop into my existing strike hole?
The pack includes a round deadbolt strike, and the latch faceplate is round corner. Round strikes suit a drilled 1 inch bore in the jamb rather than a mortised rectangular pocket. If your jamb is currently cut for a square-corner faceplate and a rectangular strike plate, you'll be patching or filling the jamb mortise to use the round parts as supplied.
11) Which handleset options carry a stated ANSI/BHMA grade for a spec submittal?
Among comparable residential handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, the JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever, and the JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever are all Grade 2, as is the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series. The Kwikset Amador 898AMD deadbolt is ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 certified with a 1 inch throw.
12) I want to move the opening to a keypad or app-controlled lock instead of the Amador 898AMD - what are the handleset options?
The Yale Real Living Assure line pairs an electronic deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset. The BYRD226NRRX is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt, the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August; all three fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Assure Lock 2 key free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Kwikset Amador 898AMD is a mechanical dummy handle with no electronics.
13) The double doors need a double cylinder or mortise trim solution, not the Amador dummy - what fits?
For mortise-prepped doors, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim are both entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors. Solid brass entry handlesets include the Deltana 803871B Hanover, the Deltana 815871 St. Ann, and the Deltana 825871 Kingston. The Kwikset Amador 898AMD, being dummy function, suits the inactive leaf where no latching is wanted.
14) Is there a simpler single-piece alternative to the Amador 898AMD for an entry door in satin nickel?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset comes in a satin nickel finish and is entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Kwikset Amador 898AMD is offered in Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, and Matte Black, but as a dummy handle rather than a keyed entry, so the Pamex covers the case where the handleset itself has to lock.
15) Does the Kwikset Amador latch have an antimicrobial coating?
Yes, the hardware is treated with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the surface 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected hardware. That matters mainly on high-touch openings in rentals, clinics, and shared entries.
16) Which handlesets pair with a knob rather than a lever if I am matching the Amador 898AMD look?
Knob-paired handlesets include the Baldwin Wesley handleset with Alcott knob and the Baldwin Wesley with Carnaby knob, both entrance function, plus the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy with Impresa knob, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob. Lever-paired options include the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever.
