Kwikset 973PVLRCT-4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Kwikset Prava dummy lever trim include the exterior handle or just the inside lever?
Interior pack only. The Prava lever trim with rectangular rose is the non-functioning inside half that pairs with a Kwikset handleset, and the matching Kwikset exterior pack has to be ordered separately. If you are replacing a whole opening, you need both halves.
2) Is this Kwikset Prava lever handed, or will it work on both left and right hand doors?
The Prava lever is fully reversible, so one part covers both left hand and right hand doors. You set the lever orientation at install rather than ordering a hand.
3) Can I use this Kwikset dummy lever on a door that needs to latch?
No. It is a non-functioning dummy lever, meaning there is no latch and no turning mechanism behind it. It is the interior trim for a Kwikset handleset where the handleset carries the latching. If you need a lever that retracts a latch on an interior door, look at a passage leverset such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta or the Bravura Atlanta passage lever instead.
4) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Kwikset Prava dummy lever trim for a heavy-traffic opening?
The Kwikset KWI-973PVLRCT Prava dummy lever trim is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified and catalogued for residential use. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1 and heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. Both are dummy function like the Prava trim, so they mount as non-turning trim with no latch.
5) I need the lever to actually retract a latch, not just be decorative - what should I order instead of the Prava dummy trim?
The Kwikset KWI-973PVLRCT Prava is a non-functioning lever, interior pack only, so it will not operate a latch. For a lever that retracts a latch on a non-locking door, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock with passage/hall/closet function, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is also offered in a passage version with the 5048 rose.
6) I need dummy levers on both sides of a double door - is the Kwikset Prava trim the right pick?
The Kwikset KWI-973PVLRCT Prava is an interior pack only and a matching Kwikset exterior pack must be purchased separately, since it is intended to pair with Kwikset handlesets. If you want a matched set of two dummy levers out of one carton, the Emtek Arts & Crafts leverset is sold as a dummy pair, as are the Emtek Hammered lever and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair.
7) What should I use instead of the Prava dummy trim on a fire-rated opening?
Dummy trim carries no latch, so a fire-rated opening that needs a latching device is a different product. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating, non-handed levers, and a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever lock, also fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
8) I need a dummy lever for a pair of French doors, not a handleset. Is this the right part?
Probably not. The Prava trim is built as the interior half of a Kwikset handleset, not as a standalone dummy for a cabinet or an inactive French door leaf. For that use, a purpose-built dummy such as the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy (sold left hand and right hand), or the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever is the closer fit.
9) Is a dummy lever the same thing as a half dummy, and does handing matter?
Both are dummy function - fixed trim with no latch - but handing does. The Kwikset KWI-973PVLRCT Prava lever trim is fully reversible and can be installed on right handed or left handed doors. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is sold as handed instead, with a left hand version and a separate right hand version, both on the 5048 rose. If you order a handed half dummy you have to confirm the door swing first; the reversible Prava trim removes that step.
10) What finishes does the Kwikset Prava rectangular rose lever come in?
Four choices: Satin Nickel, Satin Brass, Matte Black, and a two-tone Matte Black with Satin Brass. The two-tone is worth knowing about if you are matching a handleset that already mixes metals across the exterior plate and lever.
11) What tools do I need to install the Kwikset Prava interior lever trim?
A screwdriver is all it takes. The Prava interior trim mounts to the handleset prep already in the door, so there is no boring or chiseling for a maintenance tech swapping trim on an existing opening.
12) Is there anything on this Kwikset lever that helps with cleanliness in a high-touch entry?
The Prava lever carries Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That is a point property managers raise on shared multi-family entries. It is a surface treatment, not a substitute for cleaning.
13) If I want a decorative dummy lever but with a round rose instead of the Prava rectangular rose, what are my options?
The Kwikset KWI-973PVLRCT Prava dummy lever trim uses a rectangular rose and is offered in Satin Nickel, Satin Brass, Matte Black, and a Matte Black with Satin Brass combination. For a round rose in a dummy function, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy uses the 5048 rose, and the Emtek Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair is another decorative option.
