Kwikset 917HFL-514S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset SmartCode 917 keypad lever work on a door that swings the other way?
The lever on the SmartCode 917 Halifax is reversible, so one lock covers both left-hand and right-hand doors. You set the handing during install rather than ordering a handed part, which is why a property manager buying several of these for mixed openings can order them all the same.
2) Can I put a Kwikset SmartCode 917 lever on a 20 minute fire rated office door?
The SmartCode 917 electronic lever carries a UL fire rating for 20 minutes, so it suits a 20 minute rated opening such as an office or interior garage door. Anything above that rating needs a different lock.
3) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 917 rated for a commercial building or an apartment building corridor?
It is a residential lock. Kwikset rates the SmartCode 917 BHMA Class AAA, the highest residential rating, and the intended openings are office doors, storage closets and interior garage doors. For commercial traffic, an ANSI Grade 1 keypad cylindrical lock is the right class of product, such as the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 or the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series.
4) Can I rekey the Kwikset 917 keypad lever myself to match my other Kwikset locks?
Yes, the 917 Halifax uses SmartKey Security, so you rekey it in place with the existing working key and a SmartKey tool instead of pulling the cylinder or taking it to a locksmith. That is how landlords get one key working across a set of Kwikset SmartKey locks after a tenant turnover.
5) What keypad lock do I use on a classroom or school door instead of a residential SmartCode lever?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode is a residential lock suited to office doors, storage closets and interior garage doors. Classroom openings are served by the TownSteel XCE-9000, a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the TownSteel FCE-4000, a Grade 1 heavy duty RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock with an offline push button function and smart mobile reader in a classroom and storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) What is the commercial-grade equivalent of the Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode keypad lever?
The Kwikset 917HFL is a residential keypad lever with a BHMA Class AAA rating and SmartKey re-keying. For an opening that needs a commercial cylindrical keypad lock, the TownSteel XCE-2000 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad in a classroom function, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical entrance lock with a digital keypad, 100 user codes and IC/SFIC compatibility for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Kwikset holds up to 30 user codes.
7) Is there a keyless lever lock that does not need batteries instead of the Kwikset SmartCode 917?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode runs on a 9V battery with a 3 year battery life. If an opening should not depend on batteries at all, the Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function over the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch range. Both are mechanical pushbutton knobs rather than keypad levers, so the trim and the user-code handling differ from the 917HFL, which stores up to 30 user codes.
8) Which keypad lock should I use if I need an audit trail of who opened the door?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode holds up to 30 user codes but is a residential keypad lever. The Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad access in the DL3200 Series. The Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless cylindrical lock using 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy with storeroom, office, privacy and apartment functions and mobile enablement, and the TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 standalone motorized cylindrical lockset using RFID credentials. Those three manage credentials through a commercial access platform rather than codes entered at the lock alone.
9) Which electronic lock takes an interchangeable core so I can key it into my existing master key system?
The Kwikset 917HFL uses SmartKey Security, which is re-keyed with the SmartKey tool rather than by swapping a core. For openings keyed into an existing IC system, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical entrance lock that is IC/SFIC compatible and fits doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the BEST 9KZ is an EZ Series electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function. The Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic cylindrical lock in a privacy function with cylinder options for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) How many people can I give codes to on the Kwikset SmartCode 917, and does it need to be wired?
Up to 30 user codes, and it runs on a 9V battery with roughly 3 year battery life, so there is no wiring and no power to run to the door. That is enough separate codes for a small office, a cleaning crew and a few contractors without sharing one code around.
11) Do I need to buy a latch and strike separately for the Kwikset 917 keypad lever?
No. The 917HFL ships with the 6AL latch and the RCS strike, so a standard door prep is covered out of the box and there is nothing else to add to the order to hang it.
12) What is the difference between the Kwikset SmartCode 917 and an electronic lever with a key override like the Lockey E985?
Both are battery keypad levers, but they are aimed at different openings. The 917 Halifax is a residential lock with SmartKey, so the key side rekeys in seconds to match your other Kwikset locks. The Lockey E985 is an electronic keypad lever with remote control and key override, listed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If you want remote release from inside, the Lockey is the one; if you want one key across a portfolio of doors, SmartKey is.
13) Does the Kwikset SmartCode 917 need wifi or a hub to work?
No. It is a standalone keypad lever: codes are programmed at the lock and it runs on a 9V battery, up to 30 user codes. If you want phone-based credentials or an audit trail instead, that is a different class of lock, like the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series with Bluetooth or the CENTRIOS CEB100 Bluetooth cylindrical lock.
14) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 917 a deadbolt or a lever lock?
It is a cylindrical lever lock, not a deadbolt. The keypad and the Halifax lever are one unit that goes in the standard bore in the door, so it replaces an existing keyed entry lever or knob rather than mounting above it.
15) What keypad lever lock fits a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
For thicker doors, the TownSteel XCE-2000 keypad cylindrical lockset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the TownSteel XCE-9000 electronic classroom intruder keypad lockset covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the SDC E75 battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch. The Schlage NDEB wireless cylindrical lock covers 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch. All four are Grade 1 except the E75, which is listed by series rather than grade.
16) I only need a lever on the door with no code entry - what replaces the Kwikset 917HFL?
If the opening does not need keypad access, a plain mechanical lever covers it. The Marks USA 195N is a Grade 1 Survivor Series passage lever lockset with an American lever and is ADA compliant, the Cal-Royal CAL30 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty passage lock in the Calypso Series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Orca Hardware OCL210 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage cylindrical lockset. For a keyed lever without electronics, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 entrance function single cylinder lever lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
17) Is the Lockey E985 or E995 the same thing as the Kwikset SmartCode 917 lever?
They are close in form but not interchangeable. The Kwikset 917HFL is a residential SmartCode keypad lever with a reversible lever for left-hand or right-hand doors, SmartKey re-keying and a 9V battery. The Lockey E985 is an electronic keypad lever lock with remote control and key override, and the Lockey E995 is an electronic keypad lever lock with remote control and battery power; both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The remote control capability on the Lockey levers has no counterpart on the 917HFL, and the SmartKey cylinder on the Kwikset has no counterpart on the Lockey.
18) What is the difference between a standalone keypad lock like the SmartCode 917 and an access-controlled electric lock?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode is standalone: it runs on a 9V battery with a 3 year battery life and stores up to 30 user codes at the lock. The SDC Electra 7200 is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock running on dual voltage 12/24VDC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, so it requires wiring and an external access control or release device rather than codes at the door. Between those, the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless cylindrical lock using 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in a privacy function.
19) The SmartCode 917 is on my office door - what do I put on the adjacent restroom or bedroom door?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode suits office doors, storage closets and interior garage doors, where codes control entry. A restroom or bedroom door wants a privacy function instead: the Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty privacy lock in the Calypso Series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Orca Hardware OCL240 is a Grade 2 medium duty privacy cylindrical lockset, and the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with a privacy function and keypad for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors if the opening should keep keypad entry.
20) Which locks look like substitutes for the SmartCode 917 lever but will not latch the door?
Dummy trim shares the lever and rose appearance but has no latch and no code entry, so it cannot stand in for the Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode. The Dorma C501 is a single dummy trim keyless lever lockset, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dorma CL701 is a Grade 2 single dummy non-keyed cylinder lever lockset, and the Orca Hardware OCL2170 is a Grade 2 medium duty half dummy lever. These are used on inactive leaves and pull-side trim, not on a door that needs to lock.
21) I need a storeroom function lock where the lever is always locked from outside - what do I use instead of a SmartCode keypad?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode grants entry by code on a reversible lever. For a mechanical storeroom function where the outside lever stays locked and a key is required, the Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a Grade 2 storeroom clutched lever lockset supplied less core for small format interchangeable cores with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an ANSI strike. If the storeroom should stay electronic, the Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in a classroom and storeroom function with a smart mobile reader for 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) Is there a keypad lock with code entry on both sides of the door?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode has keypad entry on the outside with a reversible lever for left-hand or right-hand doors. Where a code is needed from both directions, the Alarm Lock DL5200 is a double-sided electronic cylindrical lock with 100 user capacity and battery operation, fitting doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick. The 917HFL holds up to 30 user codes.
23) What finishes does the Kwikset SmartCode 917 Halifax lever come in?
Three: Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome and Matte Black. Satin Nickel and Bright Chrome match most existing Kwikset residential trim, and Matte Black is the one to pick if the rest of the openings have already been changed over to black hardware.
24) What is the plainest keyed entry lever or knob to standardize on alongside the SmartCode 917?
Where only some doors need code entry, the rest can take a keyed mechanical set. The Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever lockset supplied less core with an American lever in an entrance and office function, the Orca Hardware OCL250 is a Grade 2 medium duty entrance cylindrical lockset, and the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock in an entry and office function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. For a knob rather than a lever, the Marks USA 110AB is a Grade 2 entry knob lockset with a round knob, 2-3/8 inch backset, in satin stainless steel.
25) Which alternatives come in matte black or bright chrome like the Kwikset 917HFL?
The Kwikset 917HFL SmartCode keypad lever is offered in Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome and Matte Black. Among comparable cylindrical sets, the Marks USA 110AB entry knob lockset is specified in satin stainless steel, and the Stanley Security QCL200 cylindrical lock is supplied keyed different with an SC keyway and a 118F ANSI 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch strike. Finish selection differs by series, so match the trim family before the finish name.
26) Does any comparable keypad lock carry a fire rating like the 20 minute UL rating on the SmartCode 917?
The Kwikset 917HFL carries a UL fire rating for 20 minutes and is BHMA certified Class AAA, the highest residential security rating. Where a longer-rated commercial opening is involved, the Grade 1 cylindrical electronic locks in the set are the ones to specify: the TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone motorized cylindrical lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic cylindrical lock for 1-3/4 inch doors. Confirm the specific fire label required by the opening against the lock series chosen.
