Kwikset KWI-968PSKRDT Pismo Knob with Round Rose Interior Dummy Handleset Trim

Interior pack only. The Pismo knob with round rose is the inside trim for a Kwikset handleset, and the matching Kwikset exterior pack has to be ordered separately. If you are replacing a whole front door handleset, you need both halves.

It is a dummy function, so the knob does not retract a latch. It is non-functioning trim that mounts to a Kwikset handleset; the locking is handled by the turn piece on the interior of the lock.

No handing to specify. The Pismo interior pack is fully reversible and works on either a left-hand or right-hand door, so one part number covers both openings in a building.

The Pismo interior dummy trim is a non-functioning knob pack meant to dress the inside of a Kwikset handleset, so it gives you no locking action on its own. If the requirement is a thumbturn the occupant can throw from inside, the BEST 8T Series non-keyed tubular deadbolt is a blank plate by thumbturn closet function for 1-3/4 inch doors - outside face is blank, inside turns a deadbolt. Use the Pismo trim when a Kwikset exterior pack is carrying the lock function, and the 8T when the door itself needs a bolt.

No - the Pismo round rose interior trim is a dummy knob with no cylinder and no credential of any kind. For keypad entry on a tubular prep, the Codelocks CL250 is a tubular latch with key override, and the CL510/CL515 and CL610/CL615 are heavy duty tubular latchbolt models in back-to-back configuration so a code is required from both faces. The Pismo trim stays a residential-grade decorative interior pack.

It is not intended for one. The Pismo round rose knob is residential handleset trim built to pair with a Kwikset exterior pack on a standard bored door. For narrow stile glass front openings, the Lockey 2950 is a narrow stile hookbolt pushbutton lock with a 1-1/8 inch backset covering 1-1/8 to 2 inch door thicknesses, and the Lockey 2500 Series offers the same 1-1/8 to 2 inch range with an adjustable backset if the prep varies across the doors.

The Pismo interior pack is stated to meet ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements and is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. Grade 2 is a residential/light commercial certification level, and this piece is catalogued for residential use, so for a commercial entry spec that calls for Grade 1 you would need a different device.

Five finishes: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, and Matte Black. If you are matching other openings in the same building, pick the exterior handleset pack in the same finish family so the two halves of the door read as one set.

This Kwikset Pismo piece is decorative residential handleset trim, not an access control device. For code entry, the Codelocks CL250 tubular latch with key override or the heavy duty Codelocks CL510/CL515 back-to-back tubular latchbolt are mechanical pushbutton options. For a hookbolt on a narrow stile aluminum door, the Lockey 2950 fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness.

It is built for installation with Kwikset handlesets, so the mounting is matched to that prep rather than to a standard bored interior door. For an interior door where you want a thumbturn and no key, a closet-function device like the BEST 8T Series non-keyed tubular deadbolt with thumbturn is the different animal to look at, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Both serve closet-type openings but differently. The Pismo round rose interior knob is a pull-only dummy that is fully reversible for right or left hand doors and installs with a screwdriver, so it suits a door that only needs a grip and a matching look. The BEST 8T Series is a closet function non-keyed tubular deadbolt with a thumbturn for 1-3/4 inch doors, which holds the door shut with a bolt. Choose the Pismo for appearance and the 8T when the leaf has to be secured.

A screwdriver. The Pismo interior pack installs in minutes with no drilling when it is going onto an existing Kwikset handleset prep, which makes it a quick finish change on a unit turnover.

Both are heavy duty tubular latchbolt locks offered back-to-back, so a code is entered on each side: the CL510 and CL515 are the CL500 Series and the CL610 and CL615 are the CL600 Series. Either is a functional locking device, unlike the Kwikset Pismo interior pack, which is dummy trim with no latch of its own.
