Kwikset 971PHL-514 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Kwikset 971 Perth lever a complete handleset, or just the inside half?
Interior pack only. The Perth lever trim is the inside half of a Kwikset handleset, with a non-functioning (fixed) lever and a turn piece on the interior for locking. You have to buy the Kwikset exterior handleset pack separately to have a working entry set. If you are expecting a grip handle for the outside of the door in the box, this is not it.
2) Does the Perth lever interior trim work on a left hand door as well as a right hand door?
Handing is not an issue. The Perth lever is fully reversible and installs on both right hand and left hand doors, so one part covers either swing. Useful if you are buying for a fleet of units and do not want to track handing per door.
3) Will this Kwikset interior lever fit a Schlage or Baldwin handleset already on the door?
No. The Perth lever interior trim is built to mate with Kwikset handlesets, and that is the only fit stated. If your exterior is a Schlage F or J Series handleset, or a Baldwin Estates 6542 mortise trim, you need the matching interior from that brand, not this piece.
4) I want a complete keyed entry handleset, not just interior trim. What should I look at?
Go with a full set instead. The Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and is Grade 2, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. Sure-Loc's Madison and Aspen keyed entry handlesets come with an adjustable backset if the door prep is uncertain.
5) I need a complete keyed entry handleset, not just the inside lever - what should I order instead of the Kwikset Perth 971PHL trim?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL is an interior pack only with a non-functioning lever, and a Kwikset exterior pack must be purchased separately to make a working entry set. If you want one part number that covers the whole opening, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever (SCR-F60-KEYED-ADD-ACC) is a Grade 2 entrance set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series with an entrance function.
6) My door is 2 inches thick - will the Kwikset Perth handleset trim work, or is there a handleset rated for it?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL is residential handleset trim and its thickness range depends on the Kwikset exterior pack it pairs with. If you want a handleset that states a thicker door range up front, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob (01411-AEASL2D) is a single cylinder set rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
7) What handleset should I use on a 1-3/4 inch mortise-prepped entry door instead of Kwikset Perth trim?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL is tubular handleset trim installed with Kwikset handlesets using just a screwdriver, so it does not serve a mortise prep. For a mortise opening, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont single cylinder entry mortise trim (BAL-6542ENTR) is an entrance function trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BAL-6542DBLC is the same Tremont trim in double cylinder for the same thickness.
8) What finishes does the Kwikset Perth interior lever trim come in?
Two: Satin Nickel and Matte Black. If you are matching other openings in a building, those are the choices, so pick the one that already runs through the rest of your Kwikset hardware.
9) Is a single cylinder handleset trim keyed on the inside?
No. Single cylinder means one key cylinder, on the exterior only. On the Perth interior trim the locking is done with a thumbturn on the inside, so no key is needed to get out. If you want key control from both sides, you are looking for a double cylinder set, such as the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry trim.
10) Is the Kwikset Perth lever trim rated for commercial use?
It is a residential product, certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Grade 2 is fine for apartments, condos, and single family entries, and plenty of light multi-family work runs on it. For a high traffic commercial opening you would want a Grade 1 commercial lockset instead.
11) My door is thicker than standard, around 2 inches. Which handlesets cover that?
For thick doors, look at the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset or the Deltana 810871 Montego, both rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches, or the Weslock 1411 Traditionale at 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches. The Yale Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt sets with the Ridgefield handleset also cover 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
12) I only need a handleset for looks on a fixed or inactive door. Is this the right part?
Not really. The Perth interior lever trim has a fixed lever, but it is meant to pair with a functioning Kwikset exterior pack. For a truly inoperable opening, order a dummy handleset: the Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, or 3006 Manhattan brass mortise dummy handlesets, or the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy with New Heaven lever.
13) Is the Kwikset Perth 971PHL the same thing as a dummy handleset?
They are related but not interchangeable. The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL is the interior half of a single cylinder handleset - the lever does not function, and the locking action is by a turn piece on the inside. A dummy handleset such as the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever or the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob is a complete surface-mounted set for an inactive door leaf with no latching or locking at all. Emtek also lists dummy mortise entrance handlesets including the 3002 Memphis and 3006 Manhattan.
14) We are standardizing rental units on Grade 2 entry handlesets - how does the Kwikset Perth compare on grade?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL interior trim is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified and carries Microban antimicrobial protection, which is a point in its favor for high-touch multi-family doors. Comparable Grade 2 sets include the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever in a non-keyed entrance function, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset.
15) I do not know the backset on the door - is there a handleset that handles both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4?
Backset on a Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL installation is set by the Kwikset exterior pack it mates with, since the 971PHL is the interior trim. If you would rather buy one set that adapts on site, the Sure-Loc handlesets are listed with adjustable backset: the Aspen AN507 and Madison MA507 keyed entry handlesets, the Alta AT507 tubular handleset, and the Coral CR507.
16) We want keyless entry on the front door - what replaces a keyed Kwikset handleset setup?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL is single cylinder trim keyed from the outside pack with a thumbturn inside. For a keyless approach, Yale Real Living Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolts with the Ridgefield handleset cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors: BYRD226NRRX is standalone, BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free Wi-Fi touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim.
17) I need the deadbolt and the latch to retract together for egress - does a Kwikset Perth handleset do that?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL locks by a turn piece on the interior and is a single cylinder handleset trim, not an interconnected lock. Where code or a tenant unit calls for one motion to release both, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever (JI Series, Grade 2, 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors) is the set built for that.
18) What is a straightforward single cylinder handleset in satin nickel if I do not want to buy two Kwikset packs?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL comes in Satin Nickel but is the interior half only and requires a matching Kwikset exterior pack. A single-part alternative is the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel finish, an entry function set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) What tools do I need to install the Perth interior lever trim?
A screwdriver. It installs in minutes on an existing Kwikset handleset prep, which is why property managers use it as a straight cosmetic or lever style swap on the inside of the door without touching the door prep.
20) Does this Kwikset lever have an antimicrobial coating?
Yes. Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the finish, and Kwikset states it keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That is the reason it shows up in healthcare, senior housing, and hospitality touch point specs.
21) Client wants a knob inside instead of a lever with a handleset - what are the options?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL gives you a lever inside and is fully reversible for right or left hand doors. If the design calls for a knob on the interior, the Baldwin Wesley handleset pairs with either the Alcott knob (BAL-180WYHXATK) or the Carnaby knob (BAL-180WYHXCYK), both entrance function, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset uses a Hudson knob.
22) Is there a solid brass alternative to the Kwikset Perth handleset trim?
The Kwikset Perth KWI-971PHL is a Signature Series interior trim offered in Satin Nickel and Matte Black. If the specification calls for solid brass, Deltana lists solid brass entry handlesets in several styles: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function.
