Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Left Hand Sedona Lever Interior Single Cylinder Handleset Trim

It is an interior pack only. The Sedona lever trim gives you the inside half of a handleset, and you have to order the matching Kwikset exterior pack separately to have a working door. It is meant to be installed with Kwikset handlesets, not used on its own.

No. The Sedona interior lever is non-functioning trim, so turning it does not operate a latch. Locking and unlocking is done by the turn piece on the interior side of the lock, and the deadbolt or latch work comes from the handleset it mounts to.

LH is the left hand version of the Sedona lever, so the lever throws to the left as you face the inside of the door. Stand on the interior side: if the hinges are on your left, you want the left hand trim. Get the hand wrong and the lever points up the wrong way even though it will physically mount.

No. The Sedona 971SELLH is non-functioning handleset trim, so it will not latch a passage or privacy door. For a true passage lever look at the Bravura Atlanta or Callan Asheville Grade 3 passage leverset; for a bed and bath privacy lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose.

They are close in behavior but not interchangeable in application. The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona interior lever is non-functioning and is designed to install with a Kwikset handleset, with the locking turn piece on the interior side. A true half dummy such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 left hand half dummy with 5048 rose, or the Callan Bentley BN5051 Grade 2 dummy lever, mounts on its own as a pull with no latch and no handleset counterpart. Choose the dummy if there is no exterior handleset in the assembly.

The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona lever is a non-functioning interior trim that pairs with a Kwikset exterior handleset pack, so it does not operate a latch on its own. If the opening needs a lever that actually retracts a latch with no key, look at a passage leverset such as the Bravura Atlanta BV333002, a Grade 2 passage leverset with round trim, or the Bravura Miramar BV940-106 passage leverset, also Grade 2, in US4 satin brass. Both work as complete standalone passage sets rather than as trim for a handleset.

The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona lever trim is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and is a residential product. For commercial traffic, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, or the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy if you only need trim. Both are built to commercial cycle expectations rather than residential.

Not as a direct swap. The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona lever is interior handleset trim, so it is only half of an entry assembly and carries no latch of its own. A complete Grade 2 entry lock such as the Hager 2525 commercial cylindrical entry lock with lever handle, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, or the Falcon B511CP6D Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical lever, replaces the whole function on its own. Going that route also means retiring the exterior handleset rather than pairing with it.

Levers that mount to their own chassis are the common mistake. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy lever, the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy lever ships as a pair, and the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever built for ED8000 pushpad exit devices and the CL3300 cylindrical series. None of those are made to mate with a Kwikset exterior handleset pack the way the KWI-971SELLH Sedona interior trim is.

It is a residential product and carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification, which suits homes and light multi-family entry doors rather than commercial traffic. For a commercial opening, a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101 passage lock or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is the right class of product.

The interior trim is non-keyed. Any keying decision lives in the Kwikset exterior handleset pack you buy with it, which is where the single cylinder sits.

The Sedona trim is listed as reversible for hand direction, so the handing can be set on site. That said, the 971SELLH is supplied as the left hand lever, so if you want the lever to throw right out of the box, order the right hand version instead.

The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona interior lever is supplied as a left-handed lever. If the opening takes a right hand lever and you are working outside the Kwikset handleset system, the Baldwin Estate 5103 right hand half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the handed counterpart in a dummy application. Alternatively, a non-handed design such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever removes the handing question entirely.

The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona lever is non-keyed and its turn piece works with a matching Kwikset exterior handleset pack, which is an entry-door arrangement. For an interior bed or bath door, a dedicated privacy set is the right part: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose, or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona interior trim is non-keyed and depends on a separately purchased Kwikset exterior pack for the cylinder. If the goal is to avoid keys altogether on that opening, mechanical pushbutton leversets are the substitution: the Lockey 2835 keyless lever lock has passage function, is ADA compliant, and fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock is a Grade 2 powered option.

The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona lever is a non-keyed residential handleset trim and is not a function lock, so a keyed opening needs a different chassis. For storeroom service, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a classroom, the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 classroom cylindrical lever is keyed with a clutching lever.

Three: Satin Nickel, Satin Brass, and Matte Black. Pick the one that matches the exterior handleset pack you are pairing it with, since the two are ordered separately and will not be finish-matched for you.

Yes. The Sedona interior trim is built with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Useful on shared-entry doors in multi-family or hospitality settings.

The Kwikset KWI-971SELLH Sedona interior lever is a contemporary style trim offered in satin brass, matte black, and satin nickel. For coordinating openings that need a working set, the Bravura Miramar BV940-106 passage leverset is a Grade 2 lever in US4 satin brass, and the Callan Asheville AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Style families differ between brands, so confirm rose shape as well as finish name.

Sedona is a contemporary style lever, and in Matte Black or Satin Nickel it reads clean and modern next to square or flat exterior trim. For a traditional or estate look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever on the 5048 rose or the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever are the other direction.
