Kwikset KWI-968HFLRDT Halifax Lever with Round Rose Interior Dummy Handleset Trim

Interior side only. The Halifax 968HFL is a trim pack with a non-functioning lever on a round rose, and the matching Kwikset exterior handleset pack has to be ordered separately. If you only replace the inside lever and already have the exterior in place, this is the piece you want. If you are starting from a bare door, you need both halves.

No. It is a dummy function, meaning the lever is fixed and does not retract a latch or operate a lock. On a handleset the exterior side does the latching; this inside lever is a pull and a place for your hand. If you want the inside to actually throw a bolt, you need a keyed or thumbturn function instead, not this trim.

No handing to specify. The Halifax interior lever is fully reversible and works on both right-hand and left-hand doors, so one part covers either swing. That matters if you are buying several for a building and do not want to track handing per opening.

It is not. The Halifax 968HFLRDT is residential interior handleset trim built to mount to a Kwikset exterior handleset pack with a screwdriver, not a standalone lock for a narrow stile or gate application. For those openings the Lockey 2950 narrow stile hookbolt mechanical pushbutton lock uses a 1-1/8 inch backset and covers 1-1/8 to 2 inch door thicknesses, and the Lockey 2500 Series hook bolt lock has an adjustable backset over the same 1-1/8 to 2 inch thickness range.

The Halifax 968HFLRDT is a dummy function interior pack - the lever is non-functioning and there is no latch or bolt behind it, so it pulls the door but does not hold it closed. If the opening needs to actually latch, a tubular latchbolt unit is the different animal: the Codelocks CL510 and CL515 are tubular latchbolt locks in the CL500 Series, and the CL610 and CL615 are tubular latchbolt locks in the CL600 Series. Use the Halifax interior pack only where an exterior Kwikset handleset pack carries the latching duty, or on an inactive leaf.

It meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements. The lever shape is operable without grasping, pinching, or twisting the wrist, which is the practical reason a lever gets specified over a knob on an accessible entry.

Residential. The Halifax 968HFL is part of Kwikset's Signature Series and is catalogued for residential use, so it suits houses, apartments, and multi-family entry doors. For a commercial opening under heavy traffic, look at heavy duty hardware such as the Codelocks CL510/CL515 or CL610/CL615 tubular latchbolt units instead.

No. The Halifax 968HFLRDT is lever trim with a round rose only, a dummy pull with no thumbturn and no bolt. For the thumbturn side of the opening you are looking at a separate device such as the BEST 8T Series closet function non-keyed tubular deadbolt, which is a blank plate by thumbturn arrangement in the T Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. Many buyers pair a pull with a separate deadbolt rather than expecting one trim to do both.

The Halifax 968HFLRDT is classed residential and is a dummy interior trim - there is no cylinder, no key override, and no code entry. For a keyed or coded commercial opening, look instead at something like the Codelocks CL250 tubular latch with key override in the CL200 Series, or the heavy duty Codelocks CL510/CL515 back-to-back units. The Halifax pack does meet ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements for lever operation, so it can still serve as trim on an inactive or dummy leaf in a commercial setting.

The Halifax 968HFLRDT gives you a fixed lever on a round rose with nothing operating behind it, which is exactly what an inactive leaf wants, and it is fully reversible so it suits a right or left hand door without ordering by handing. A closet function device like the BEST 8T Series non-keyed tubular deadbolt is a different approach - blank plate on one face and a thumbturn on the other, on a 1-3/4 inch door - so it actually throws a bolt from the inside. Choose the Halifax trim when you want appearance match only, in satin nickel or matte black.

A screwdriver. The interior trim mounts to the existing handleset prep and goes on in minutes with no drilling, assuming the door is already bored for the handleset it pairs with.
