Kwikset 733KNL-26D-SCAL-83028 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Kwikset Kingston privacy lever fire rated for a 20 minute door?
Yes, the Kingston 733KNL privacy lever is a fire rated assembly, carried here as the 20 minute rated version with the square corner adjustable latch and 83028 strike. If you are hanging privacy hardware on a rated bedroom or bath door in a multi-family building, this is the configuration to order rather than a standard non-rated privacy set.
2) Will the square corner latch on this Kwikset privacy lever fit my existing door prep?
The Kingston privacy set ships with a square corner adjustable latch, so it drops into an edge bore already routed for a square corner faceplate. If your doors are prepped for a round corner faceplate, that latch will not sit flush in the mortise and you want the round corner adjustable latch version of the same Kingston lever instead.
3) Does this Kwikset Kingston lever take a key?
No key. It is a non-keyed privacy function, locked from the inside with a pushbutton in the lever and released from the outside in an emergency. For bedrooms and bathrooms that is what you want; for a door that needs to be keyed, a privacy set is the wrong function entirely.
4) What is the closest lever privacy substitute for the Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 if I need a different lever style?
The Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath cylindrical leverset. For the same push-button privacy function in a different lever design, the Baldwin Estate 5103 Privacy Lever with 5048 Rose is a lever privacy set, and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. All three lock the bedroom or bathroom side without a key.
5) The Kingston SCAL-83028 is rated residential - what do I use on a heavy-traffic commercial corridor door instead?
The Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 is a residential-rated lever intended for interior residential and light commercial doors. For a heavy-traffic commercial opening, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical leverset such as the Falcon K101, a heavy duty Grade 1 fire rated lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110, a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Note both of those are passage function, so they do not provide the privacy locking the Kingston does.
6) Can I order a passage leverset instead of the Kingston SCAL-83028 for a bathroom door?
No. The Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 is a privacy/bed/bath function with a push-button lever, so the occupant can lock the door from inside. Passage leversets such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever, or the Callan Asheville Grade 3 latch the door but do not lock at all, which is why they suit halls and closets rather than bathrooms.
7) What strike comes with the Kwikset Kingston privacy lever?
It comes with the 83028 T-strike. That is the small T-shaped frame strike common on interior wood frames, so if your jambs are already prepped for a full lip strike you will either need to reuse the existing strike or re-prep the jamb.
8) Can I use the Kwikset Kingston privacy lever on commercial doors?
Kwikset lists the Kingston as residential hardware, suited to interior residential doors and light commercial work such as offices or small suites. For a school, hospital, or any high-traffic corridor, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lock like the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series or the Falcon K Series.
9) What is a Grade 1 or Grade 2 alternative to this Kwikset privacy lever for a heavier door?
For a heavier-duty privacy opening, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock that is also fire rated and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. If a lever is required for ADA-style operation, the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors in Grade 2.
10) I need matching passage and dummy levers to go with these privacy locks. What pairs with the Kingston?
The Kingston set here is privacy only. To keep one lever style across a floor while mixing functions, it is usually easier to standardize on a series that publishes the full function range, such as Bravura's Atlanta or Orlando passage leversets in Grade 2, or the Baldwin Estate 5103 which is offered in passage, privacy, and left and right hand half dummy with the same 5048 rose.
11) I need a privacy lock but the spec calls for a knob instead of a lever - what takes the place of the Kingston SCAL-83028?
Use the Arrow MK02-TA in place of the Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 when the opening calls for a knob. The MK02-TA is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with the Tudor knob, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Kingston is the same privacy function with a lever handle and is also fire rated.
12) Is a dummy lever an acceptable stand-in for the Kingston SCAL-83028 on an inactive leaf?
On a leaf that never latches, yes - a dummy trim is the right part, not the Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028. Dummy options include the BEST 9K Series 1DT Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series Grade 2 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever. None of them include a latch or a locking mechanism, so they cannot replace the Kingston on a door that must latch and lock for privacy.
13) What should I use instead of the Kingston SCAL-83028 if the room needs keyed entry rather than privacy?
The Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 is non-keyed, so for a keyed opening choose an entrance or storeroom lever instead. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt over the same thickness range, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever.
14) We want keyless code entry on the same door the Kingston SCAL-83028 would go on - what are the alternatives?
The Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 is keyless in the sense that it is non-keyed privacy, locked only from inside by push button. If you want code-based access instead, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch and is ADA compliant, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those are passage-type code locks rather than bed and bath privacy sets.
15) Does the Kingston SCAL-83028 need a T-strike, or can I swap in a round corner strike lockset?
The Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 ships with a square corner adjustable latch and the 83028 T-strike, so the frame must be prepped for a square corner strike. The Kingston is also offered with an RCAL round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike for frames prepped that way. Matching the latch face and strike to the existing frame prep is what decides which version drops in without drilling.
16) For a patient room or utility door, is the Kingston SCAL-83028 the right privacy lock?
The Kwikset Kingston SCAL-83028 is a residential-rated privacy set for bedrooms and bathrooms. Institutional openings that must not be lockable from the occupant side typically take an asylum function instead, such as the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 asylum F87 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch or the Arrow MK33-BD-CS Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a Schlage C keyway. Those are keyed on both sides rather than push-button privacy.
17) What finishes does the Kingston privacy lever come in?
Two: Satin Nickel and Satin Chrome. Satin Nickel is the warmer match to most residential interior packages, Satin Chrome reads cooler and pairs better with the brushed chrome trim often already running through light commercial suites.
