Kwikset KWI-968TNLLH Left Hand Tustin Lever Interior Dummy Handleset Trim

Interior trim only. The 968TNL Tustin pack gives you the inside lever and rose that mount on a Kwikset handleset, and the matching Kwikset exterior pack has to be ordered separately. If you only have this piece, you do not have a working door set.

It is non-functioning. The Tustin lever is a dummy pull, so it does not retract a latch. Locking on the handleset is handled by the turn piece on the interior side of the lock, not by the lever.

No hand to worry about. Kwikset's Tustin interior pack is fully reversible and works on right or left handed doors, so the same part covers either swing.

It is built for Kwikset handlesets in the Signature Series line, which is what the 968TNL Tustin trim is part of. It mounts to the Kwikset exterior handleset pack; it is not an interior trim for another brand's handleset. If your exterior is Baldwin, Schlage, Weslock, or Emtek, match the interior trim to that brand instead.

The Tustin 968TNL is dummy function, so it locks nothing by itself. For a keyed exterior handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry with Accent lever is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder in satin nickel covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. For a thicker door, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is rated 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.

That is exactly what the 968TNL Tustin pack is for. It replaces the interior lever trim on a Kwikset Signature Series handleset while the exterior grip stays in place, and it goes on with a screwdriver. Match the finish to the exterior you are keeping: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, or Bright Brass.

The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever is the nearest lever-style dummy peer, carrying a Dummy function like the Tustin trim and fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Kwikset piece is a lever interior pack meant to pair with a Kwikset exterior handleset, while the Weslock 2815 is sold as a handleset in its Premiere Essentials Series. If a knob is wanted instead of a lever, the Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob covers the same Dummy function on the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.

The Kwikset 968TNL Tustin interior trim is a non-functioning lever, so it will not latch or lock on its own. For a keyed opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is an Entrance-function Grade 2 handleset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series with an Entrance function. Both are complete handlesets rather than interior trim, so no separate exterior pack is involved.

Three: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, and Bright Brass. Pick the one that matches the Kwikset exterior pack you are ordering, since the two halves ship separately and the finish codes have to agree for the door to look right.

Kwikset lists the Tustin interior pack as meeting ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements, and it is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. Note that it is a residential-duty product, so for a commercial opening with a code-required grade check what your spec calls for before standardizing on it.

Kwikset classes the Tustin interior pack as residential. It is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified, which suits apartment and single-family entry doors, but a high-traffic commercial opening usually calls for a Grade 1 commercial lockset rather than residential handleset trim.

Not with the Tustin interior pack, which is mechanical dummy trim with an interior turn piece. For a powered option, the Yale Real Living Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts pair with a Ridgefield handleset: BYRD226CBARX in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, BYRD226NRRX standalone with no radio, both rated 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.

The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan are all brass mortise entrance handlesets in Dummy function, so they share the Dummy designation with the Kwikset 968TNL Tustin trim. They are mortise handlesets rather than an interior lever pack built to mate with a Kwikset exterior handleset, so they do not drop onto an existing Kwikset Signature Series exterior. Order them when the whole dummy handleset is being replaced, not when only the inside lever is being changed.

For thicker slabs, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder unit rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and keeps the non-locking dummy function the Kwikset Tustin trim provides.

The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry unit for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever is a Passage function in the JI Series on the same thickness range. Both operate a latch, unlike the Kwikset 968TNL Tustin interior lever, which is non-functioning and serves only as a pull.

The Kwikset 968TNL Tustin interior pack uses a lever, which meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements. If a knob is preferred, the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob and the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob are both Entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick in the Premiere Essentials series. Knob trim is not an ADA-compliant operable part, so specify the lever where accessibility is required.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim is an Entrance function unit for 1-3/4 inch doors, keyed on both sides, and the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim is the same Entrance function and 1-3/4 inch door thickness with a keyed outside only. Both are mortise trim for a keyed opening, where the Kwikset 968TNL Tustin interior pack is a non-locking dummy lever with no cylinder.

A screwdriver. The Tustin interior pack mounts through the existing handleset prep with screws only, so there is no boring or special tool needed for a straight interior-trim swap.

Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all Entry function. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. These are keyed entry handlesets, while the Kwikset 968TNL Tustin interior pack is a residential dummy lever trim that mounts to a Kwikset exterior handleset.

The Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim is a Wi-Fi unit for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the same thickness range. The BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version with no network connection. All three are complete deadbolt and handleset assemblies, unlike the Kwikset 968TNL Tustin interior lever pack, which requires a separate Kwikset exterior pack.

The Kwikset 968TNL Tustin interior pack comes in Satin Nickel, along with Venetian Bronze and Bright Brass, but it is interior trim that needs a matching Kwikset exterior handleset. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset ships in a satin nickel finish as a complete Entry function unit for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so it covers the opening in one order.
