Kwikset 971SALSQT-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Kwikset Singapore square rose lever a complete lockset, or do I need to buy something else with it?
It is interior trim only. The Singapore lever with square rose is a non-functioning interior pack meant to pair with a Kwikset handleset, and the matching Kwikset exterior pack has to be ordered separately. If you are replacing a full lockset on its own, this will not do the job by itself.
2) Do I have to order the Kwikset Singapore lever in a left hand or right hand version?
No handing to specify. The Singapore lever is fully reversible and installs on right hand or left hand doors, so one part number covers both openings. That is useful if you are buying several for a building and do not want to track door swings on the order.
3) Is the Kwikset Singapore lever rated for a commercial building?
It is a residential product, certified ANSI/BHMA Grade AAA for residential security, durability and finish. For a commercial opening where a spec calls for ANSI Grade 1 or 2 cylindrical hardware, look at something like the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 instead.
4) What is the closest equivalent if I need a standalone dummy lever instead of Kwikset handleset interior trim?
The Kwikset Singapore square rose lever is a non-functioning interior pack meant to pair with a Kwikset exterior handleset pack, so it is not a self-contained dummy. If you want a dummy lever that stands on its own, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with 5048 rose comes handed as a left hand or right hand unit. The Baldwin pair are handed, while the Kwikset Singapore lever is fully reversible for right or left hand doors.
5) I need a lever that actually latches, not interior handleset trim. What should I order?
The Kwikset Singapore square rose lever is a non-functioning interior lever, so it does not operate a latch on its own. For a working non-keyed lever, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. All three latch and release from either side, where the Kwikset unit relies on the handleset it is mounted with.
6) Is the Kwikset Singapore lever suitable for a commercial corridor, or do I need something heavier?
The Kwikset Singapore square rose lever is a residential product and is interior trim rather than a functioning lockset. For commercial openings, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock, fire rated, with non-handed levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim if you need dummy trim at commercial duty.
7) Does this Kwikset interior lever take a key?
No key on the inside. The Singapore interior trim is non-keyed, and locking is done with a turn piece on the interior side. The keyed cylinder lives in the Kwikset exterior handleset pack that goes with it.
8) What finishes does the Kwikset Singapore lever with square rose come in?
Four: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, and Matte Black. Match whichever finish you ordered on the Kwikset exterior handleset pack so the two halves of the opening agree.
9) I just want a lever that does nothing on a closet or french door. Is this the right part?
Not really. Although the Singapore lever is non-functioning on its own, it is built as interior trim for a Kwikset handleset, not as a standalone dummy. For a true dummy lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy (left or right hand) or the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair are made for that use, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim covers it on the commercial side.
10) What looks like a substitute for the Kwikset Singapore interior lever but will not work?
Keyed and electronic levers are the common mismatch. The Kwikset Singapore square rose lever is non-keyed interior trim with an interior turn piece, intended to mount opposite a Kwikset exterior handleset pack. The Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic Keypad Leverset and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever are all complete access-controlled lever locks with their own credential entry, so they replace the whole opening rather than serve as the inside half of a handleset.
11) I want a dummy lever sold as a matched pair for a double door. What are my options?
The Kwikset Singapore square rose lever is a single interior lever intended to pair with a Kwikset exterior pack. If you need both faces from one order, Emtek offers dummy pairs in the Arts and Crafts lever and Hammered lever designs, and the Cortina lever is available as a Classic Brass dummy pair. Those ship as two levers for a single opening.
12) If the opening needs a privacy or bath lever instead of handleset trim, what replaces the Kwikset Singapore lever?
The Kwikset Singapore square rose lever locks by a turn piece on the interior but is a non-functioning trim lever tied to a Kwikset handleset. For a true bed and bath opening, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose and the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock, which is fire rated and fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, are self-contained privacy sets.
13) What tools do I need to install the Kwikset Singapore interior lever?
A screwdriver. The interior pack mounts with screws through the rose to the exterior handleset half, no drilling needed if the door is already prepped for Kwikset handleset hardware.
14) Does the Kwikset Singapore lever have any antimicrobial coating for a healthcare or hospitality setting?
Yes, Microban antimicrobial product protection is built in, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Note this is residential-rated hardware, so it suits multi-family units and hospitality guest rooms rather than a commercial-grade opening.
15) The Kwikset Singapore lever uses a square rose. What other levers carry square trim?
Among leversets with square trim, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim, while the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar in the same passage Grade 2 family use round trim. The Kwikset Singapore lever is a contemporary style interior trim with a square rose offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome and Matte Black.
