Kwikset 968PHL-514 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Kwikset Perth dummy handleset trim come with the exterior handle, or do I have to buy that separately?
Interior pack only. The Perth lever trim is the inside half of a Kwikset handleset, and the matching Kwikset exterior pack has to be ordered separately to complete the opening. If you already have a Kwikset handleset exterior on the door and only need to replace or change the inside lever, this is the piece you want on its own.
2) Is the Perth interior lever a working latch or just a pull?
It is a dummy, so the lever does not turn and there is no latch behind it. It mounts as fixed trim for pulling the door. If you need the inside lever to retract a latch, a dummy trim is the wrong function.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Kwikset Perth lever?
No handing to specify. The Perth lever is fully reversible and installs on either a right hand or left hand door, so one part covers both swings across a building.
4) Can the Kwikset Perth dummy lever trim be used on a narrow stile aluminum or glass storefront door?
The Perth KWI-968PHL is residential handleset trim meant to install with a Kwikset exterior handleset pack, not narrow stile hardware. For narrow stile openings, the Lockey 2950 is a narrow stile hookbolt pushbutton lock with a 1-1/8 inch backset, and the Lockey 2500 series hookbolt lock offers an adjustable backset with a 1-1/8 to 2 inch door thickness range.
5) Does the Kwikset Perth KWI-968PHL dummy lever latch the door, or is there another option for a door that needs to stay closed?
The Perth KWI-968PHL is a non-functioning interior lever trim - a dummy, so it does not retract a latch and holds nothing shut. If the opening needs a bolt that actually engages, the Codelocks CL250 is a tubular latch with key override, and the BEST 8T closet-function tubular deadbolt pairs a blank plate on one face with a thumbturn on the other for a door that gets held closed from inside.
6) What finishes does the Kwikset Perth interior dummy lever trim come in?
Two: Satin Nickel and Matte Black. If you are matching other openings in a unit or a building, pick the one that lines up with the Kwikset exterior handleset pack finish, since the two halves are ordered separately.
7) How hard is it to swap the inside lever on an existing Kwikset handleset?
A screwdriver job, no drilling. The Perth interior trim installs in minutes onto a Kwikset handleset, which makes it practical for a property manager refreshing the look of a lot of front doors without touching the exterior hardware or the door prep.
8) I need a keypad or keyed lock on that door, not a dummy trim. What should I look at instead?
A dummy lever secures nothing, so for an access-controlled opening look at a different product entirely. ZenSupply carries the Codelocks CL250 tubular latch with key override and the Codelocks CL510 and CL515 tubular latchbolt back-to-back units in the CL500 Series, rated heavy duty. For a non-keyed inside-only secure function on a 1-3/4 inch door, the BEST 8T Series closet function tubular deadbolt with thumbturn is a blank plate by thumbturn setup.
9) Is the Kwikset Perth KWI-968PHL heavy duty enough for a high-traffic commercial entry?
The Perth KWI-968PHL is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified residential trim, and as a dummy lever it carries no latching duty at all. Where a high-use commercial opening is the target, the Codelocks CL510/CL515 and CL610/CL615 back-to-back tubular latchbolt sets are both rated heavy duty.
10) I need both sides of the door to operate without a key - is the Perth dummy lever the right choice?
No. The Perth KWI-968PHL is a single non-functioning interior lever with no latch operation on either face. For keyless operation from both sides, the Codelocks CL510/CL515 and CL610/CL615 are back-to-back tubular latchbolt sets, from the CL500 and CL600 series respectively.
11) Does this Kwikset lever have any antimicrobial coating for high-touch doors?
Yes, it carries Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That is a reason it gets specified on multi-family and hospitality entries where the lever is touched constantly.
12) Will the Kwikset Perth dummy lever fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
The Perth KWI-968PHL mounts as interior trim for a Kwikset handleset and installs in minutes with a screwdriver, and it is fully reversible for right or left handed doors. If the 1-3/4 inch door needs a bolt rather than trim, the BEST 8T series closet-function tubular deadbolt is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors.
