Kwikset 955PML-26DS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 955 SmartCode Pembroke lever fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. The SmartCode 955 Pembroke lever installs on standard doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. That covers both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard commercial leaf at 1-3/4. If your doors run thicker than 1-3/4, this is the wrong lock and you want something with a wider range, such as the Dorma C853 lever lockset at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
2) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 955 lever handed, or does it work on both left and right hand doors?
The lever is reversible, so one part number covers left hand and right hand doors. You set the handing during install rather than ordering by hand, which is why a property manager can stock a single lock for a whole building of mixed swings.
3) Can I put the Kwikset SmartCode 955 on a fire rated door?
The 955 SmartCode lever meets or exceeds Underwriters Laboratories testing requirements for a 20 minute fire rating. A 20 minute rating suits a typical apartment entry or corridor door; it does not cover openings that require a 45, 60 or 90 minute assembly, and the door, frame and closer all have to carry the rating too, not just the lock.
4) Can I key the Kwikset 955 SmartCode to match the other Kwikset locks in my building?
Yes, within the Kwikset KW1 keyway. SmartKey re-key technology is compatible with the KW1 keyway, so you can re-key the cylinder yourself in seconds to an existing KW1 key rather than swapping cylinders or carrying a second key. It ships with two keys. If your building is keyed on a Schlage SC keyway, this will not match without re-keying the rest of the property.
5) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 955 lever rated for commercial use or is it a residential lock?
Kwikset lists the SmartCode 955 as BHMA commercial Grade 2 certified, and BHMA certified AAA on the residential scale for security, durability and finish. Our record classes it as a residential product. For a school, healthcare or heavy institutional opening where the spec calls for Grade 1, look at a Grade 1 keypad cylindrical lock instead, such as the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 or the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series.
6) Can I stop tenants from leaving the door on passage so it never locks?
Yes. Passage Mode can be disabled, which forces the lock to re-secure every time and requires a key or a code for entry. The lock also relocks on its own after 30 seconds or a custom delay you set. That combination is what most property managers want on a common entry or amenity door, where holding the latch back all day is the usual failure.
7) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Kwikset 955PML SmartCode Pembroke lever for a keypad opening?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is a BHMA Grade 2 commercial certified electronic keypad lever with SmartKey re-key on the Kwikset KW1 keyway. Where an opening calls for Grade 1, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock with a digital keypad and 100 user codes that accepts IC/SFIC cylinders, and the TownSteel XCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad in a classroom function. Both are keypad-entry cylindrical locks like the 955PML, but they are keyed to interchangeable-core or standard commercial cylinders rather than the SmartKey KW1 system.
8) The Kwikset 955PML fits a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door. What keypad lever works on a thicker door?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke installs on a standard door 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For openings beyond that range, the SDC E75 Series battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors, and the TownSteel XCE-2000 keypad lockset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 covers 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, which overlaps the 955PML at the upper end.
9) Is there a keyless lever that does not need batteries as an alternative to the Kwikset SmartCode 955?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is battery powered with a motorized bolt and an illuminated touchpad, rated for a 3 year battery life. If an opening should not depend on batteries at all, the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock offers an adjustable backset over the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch range. Both are mechanical pushbutton knobs rather than levers, and they do not carry user code programming.
10) What electronic lever gives an audit trail, which the Kwikset 955PML does not offer?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke holds up to 50 user codes plus 10 one-time codes with an optional programming code. Where a facility needs a record of who opened the door, the Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad access. The Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 heavy duty ENGAGE Series cylindrical lock with a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy reader and mobile enabled multi-function operation for doors 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch thick, which manages credentials from software rather than at the keypad.
11) What lever should I use on a classroom or lockdown door instead of the Kwikset 955PML SmartCode?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is a residential-rated electronic lever certified BHMA AAA and BHMA commercial Grade 2, with 20 minute UL fire testing. Classroom and intruder-function openings call for a purpose-built lockset: the TownSteel FCE-4000 is an RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset, Grade 1 heavy duty for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the TownSteel XCE-9000 is an electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in a classroom/storeroom function with an offline push button and smart mobile reader for a 1-3/4 inch door.
12) Which keypad lever takes an interchangeable core instead of the Kwikset SmartKey KW1 cylinder?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke uses SmartKey Security re-key technology on the Kwikset KW1 keyway and ships with 2 keys, so it cannot be cored into an SFIC master key system. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock with digital keypad that is IC/SFIC compatible, and the BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function. Either keeps a keypad opening on the same core system as the rest of a keyed facility.
13) How many people can I give codes to on the Kwikset SmartCode 955, and can I give a contractor a code that expires?
Up to 50 user codes plus 10 one-time codes, so a single-use code for a contractor or a cleaner is built in and burns itself after one entry. There is also an optional programming code if you want to control who can change the lock's settings. For a larger tenant population or if you need an audit trail of who entered and when, step up to something like the Alarm Lock T3 with audit trail or the Accentra nexTouch NTB613.
14) What tools and door prep do I need to install a Kwikset SmartCode 955 keypad lever?
A screwdriver and a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. No hard wiring, no power supply, and no special prep, so it drops straight into an opening already bored for a standard cylindrical lockset. It runs on batteries with a stated 3 year battery life. If your opening is already wired for access control, an electrified lock like the SDC Electra 7200 Series with 12/24VDC is the different animal you want.
15) Can I still get in with a key if the batteries die on the SmartCode 955?
Yes. The keyed lever is operated by key from the outside or by the electronic keypad, so a mechanical key override is always there. Two keys are included. The keypad itself stays lit for five seconds after you stop touching it, which is what keeps a worn or smudged code from being readable on the pad.
16) What is the difference between a SmartCode keypad lever like the 955 and a mechanical pushbutton lock?
The 955 is battery powered and electronic: motorized latch, 50 user codes, timed auto-relock, and a key override. A mechanical pushbutton lock such as the Lockey 2830 or the Lockey 1600 has no battery and no code management at all, just a single combination you change by hand. Pick the mechanical one for a gate, a pool house or an unheated space where you do not want to service batteries. Pick the 955 where codes change with tenants.
17) Is there a keypad lever that fits doors thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
Not the Kwikset 955 Pembroke, which tops out at 1-3/4. For a thicker leaf, the Lockey E985 and E995 keypad levers cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 as well, so they do not help; go instead to the SDC E75 Series at 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inches, or the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series at 1-3/4 to 2 inches. Alarm Lock's DL2700 and DL4100 run 1-5/8 to 1-7/8.
18) Will the Kwikset SmartCode 955 accept an interchangeable core so I can put it on my facility's SFIC system?
No. The 955 uses Kwikset's SmartKey cylinder on the KW1 keyway, which is not an interchangeable core. If your facility is standardized on small format IC, look at a lock built for it, such as the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700, which is IC/SFIC compatible, or the Marks USA 175RF SFIC storeroom lever supplied less core.
19) Can a Schlage CO-100 keypad lock replace a Kwikset 955PML on an entry door?
They are not the same function. The Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic cylindrical keypad lock in a privacy/bed/bath function, Grade 1 heavy duty, for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is a keyed lever operated by key outside or by the electronic keypad, and property managers can disable Passage Mode so a key or code is required for every entry. For a keyed entry opening the closer electronic matches are the TownSteel XCE-2000 keypad lockset or the SDC E75 keypad lockset; the CO-100 suits a privacy application instead.
20) What is a simpler mechanical lever if I do not need the keypad on the Kwikset 955PML?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is an electronic keyed lever with a touchpad and motorized bolt. For a plain keyed lever on the same cylindrical prep, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 single cylinder entry lever lockset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever lockset supplied less core. The Orca Hardware OCL250 is a Grade 2 medium duty entrance cylindrical lockset. All three are key-only and carry no user codes.
21) I need a keypad lock that ties into an access control system, not a standalone one like the Kwikset 955PML.
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is a standalone battery lock programmed at the keypad with up to 50 user codes. To tie the opening into a system, the SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock running on dual voltage 12/24VDC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, which is wired to an access control panel. For a credential-based approach without wiring the door, the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series is a Grade 1 wireless cylindrical lock with a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy reader, and the TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 standalone motorized cylindrical lockset with RFID technology.
22) Does the Lockey E985 or E995 keypad lever fit the same doors as the Kwikset 955PML SmartCode?
Yes, on thickness. The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke installs on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, and both the Lockey E985 and Lockey E995 electronic keypad lever locks list a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. The Lockey E985 adds remote control with key override and the E995 adds remote control on battery power, where the 955PML is keyed to the Kwikset KW1 keyway with SmartKey re-key and is reversible for left-hand or right-hand doors.
23) What matches the Kwikset Pembroke lever on doors that do not need to lock?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is a keyed electronic lever available in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome and Matte Black. On closet, corridor and dummy openings in the same run, the Dorma CL701 is a Grade 2 single dummy non-keyed cylinder lever lockset, the Orca Hardware OCL2170 is a Grade 2 medium duty half dummy lever, and the Orca OCL210 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage cylindrical lockset. The Marks USA 195N is a Grade 1 Survivor Series passage lever lockset with an ADA compliant American lever.
24) What is the storeroom-function equivalent to the Kwikset 955PML for a door that must always relock?
On the Kwikset 955PML Pembroke, Passage Mode can be disabled so the lock auto-locks every time and a key or code is required for entry, and it auto-locks after 30 seconds or a custom delay. For a mechanical lock that behaves that way by function, the Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a Grade 2 storeroom clutched lever lockset with a 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI strike, supplied less core for small format interchangeable cores. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 classroom/storeroom wireless tubular lock with an offline push button function.
25) Is the Alarm Lock DL5200 a substitute for the Kwikset 955PML SmartCode lever?
Not directly. The Alarm Lock DL5200 is a double-sided electronic cylindrical lock with 100 user capacity and battery operation for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, meaning it is credentialed on both faces of the door. The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke reads a code or key on the outside only and holds up to 50 user codes with 10 one-time codes. Where only outside control is needed on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, the DL5200 is more lock than the opening calls for; where egress side control is required, the 955PML will not do it.
26) What Bluetooth or smart lock alternatives exist to the Kwikset 955PML SmartCode keypad lever?
The Kwikset 955PML Pembroke is entered by illuminated touchpad code or by key on the Kwikset KW1 keyway. For phone-based entry on a cylindrical prep, the CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in a privacy function, and the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 heavy duty ENGAGE Series cylindrical lock with a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy reader and mobile enabled multi-function operation for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Accentra nexTouch NTB613 is a Grade 1 cylindrical keypad lock with pushbutton entry if the requirement stays at code entry.
