Kwikset 740TNL-26DS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kwikset 740 Tustin lever fit a 2-3/8 inch backset door, or do I need the 2-3/4?
Either one. The 6AL latch that ships with the Tustin entry lever adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into both standard door preps without ordering a separate latch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole to confirm which one you have, then set the latch to match.
2) Is the Kwikset Tustin lever handed, or can I use it on both left and right hand doors?
Fully reversible. The Tustin lever installs on right hand and left hand doors from the same box, so you can stock one part for an entire building rather than splitting your order by handing.
3) What does SmartKey do on the Kwikset 740 Tustin, and can I key it to my existing Kwikset keys?
SmartKey lets you re-key the lock yourself in seconds with the tool and a working key, no cylinder pull and no locksmith. It works with the Kwikset KW1 keyway or the Schlage SC1 keyway, so if a property already runs KW1 keys you can bring these locks onto that key. Two keys come in the box. For a landlord doing tenant turns, that means re-keying a unit without a service call.
4) Is the Kwikset 740 Tustin lever rated for a commercial opening, or is it residential only?
Residential. The Tustin entry lever is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified and built for house and apartment entry doors. For a commercial corridor, a stairwell, or anything on a fire rated opening, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lock or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series, which the record lists as fire rated.
5) What faceplates come with the Kwikset 740 Tustin, and will one match the mortise already cut in my door?
Three interchangeable faceplate options ship with the lock: round corner, square corner, and a drive in collar. That covers the two common edge mortise shapes, and the drive in collar handles a bored edge with no mortise cut at all. So a replacement on an existing door usually needs no chisel work.
6) What is a Grade 2 keyed lever alternative to the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL for a commercial entry door?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is also ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 with a lever, but it is a residential keyed entry set built around SmartKey re-keying and a latch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset. Where a commercial specification calls for a Grade 2 lever on a nominally thicker door leaf, the Hager 2525 covers the range; where the buyer wants owner re-keying on the KW1 or SC1 keyway, the Tustin is the set that offers it.
7) Which lever lock should I use instead of the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL on a door that needs a heavy duty Grade 1 keyed function?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and is a residential keyed entry lever. For an opening that requires Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lever is a Grade 1 keyed cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. If the opening is a classroom rather than an office, the Dexter C1000 Classroom lever is the Grade 1 keyed clutching version, and the C1000 Classroom Security lever adds the classroom security function on the same door thickness range.
8) What keyed lever locks compare to the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL if I want a Schlage C keyway instead of SmartKey?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL re-keys through SmartKey and takes either the Kwikset KW1 or the Schlage SC1 keyway. If the requirement is a conventional 6-pin Schlage C cylinder, the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Cal-Royal AG03 is the classroom lever in the AG Series with the same 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset.
9) Is a storeroom lever the same thing as the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL keyed entry lever?
No. The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is a keyed entry lever whose locking is controlled by a turn piece on the interior side, so an occupant can leave it unlocked. A storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and has no inside turn piece: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Order a storeroom set only where the door must stay secured behind everyone who passes through it.
10) What do I use instead of the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL if I want keyless code entry on the door?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is a key-operated lever using the KW1 or SC1 keyway with two keys supplied. To take keys out of the equation, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version over the same thickness range. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set, double combination, for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock if the door should run on batteries and codes rather than a mechanical keypad.
11) Will the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL work on a fire rated door opening?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is a Grade 2 residential keyed entry lever. Where the opening is a rated door and the hardware has to carry a fire rating, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock with a fire rating for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Both are passage function, so a rated opening that also needs keying should be specified against a keyed Grade 1 lock such as the Dexter C1000 Entry/Office.
12) How does the Kwikset Tustin lever lock from the inside, and is there a key on the interior?
A thumbturn on the interior side does the locking; the key cylinder is outside only. That is the standard entry function for a front or back door, and it means anyone inside can leave without a key. If you need the inside to stay locked against key control, that is a storeroom function instead, like the Cal-Royal AG05 or the Hager 2580 Withnell storeroom lever.
13) What tools do I need to install a Kwikset Tustin entry lever, and does the strike come with it?
A screwdriver is all it takes on a door already bored for a cylindrical lock. The RCS round corner strike is included along with the 6AL latch, so nothing else has to be ordered to finish a straight replacement. If your frame has a square corner strike cutout, you will want to confirm the frame prep before you pull the old lock.
14) Kwikset Tustin lever versus a keypad lock, which should I put on a rental entry door?
The Tustin is a keyed mechanical entry lever with SmartKey, so you re-key it in seconds between tenants but everyone still carries a key. If you would rather hand out a code and skip keys entirely, look at a mechanical pushbutton lever like the Lockey 2835 or the Lockey 1150, or an electronic keypad lever such as the Delaney LP250. The tradeoff is straightforward: SmartKey keeps a physical key system and fast re-keying, keypads remove the key handoff.
15) I need matching passage and privacy levers for the interior doors, what goes with a Kwikset entry lever?
The Tustin 740 is the keyed entry function only, for exterior doors. Interior doors on the same job need separate functions: a passage lever for halls and closets and a privacy lever for bed and bath. Options here include the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando passage leverset, the Callan Asheville passage lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 which is sold in passage, privacy, and left or right hand half dummy versions so a whole floor can be trimmed out in one lever design.
16) I need the same Tustin lever look on an interior door that does not get keyed - what do I order?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is a keyed entry lever with SmartKey, intended for exterior doors where keyed entry is needed. For interior doors on the same job that only need to latch, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage/closet lever in the 5300 Series. For a door that needs a bathroom or bedroom lock rather than a passage set, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever.
17) Which lever entry sets compete with the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL on a residential front door?
On a residential entry the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is a Grade 2 keyed lever with SmartKey re-keying and a fully reversible lever. Comparable keyed entry levers include the Callan Artino, a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Master Lock BC Series RL01, a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lockset. The Deltana 6201 Manchester is an entry lever that covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, as does the Deltana 6431 Linstead entry lever. The Kwikset set is the one certified to Grade 2 among these.
18) Can a dummy lever be used in place of the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL on a door?
No. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch behind it, so it will not hold a door closed or accept a key; the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is a keyed entry set supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS strike. Dummy trim is what you order for the inactive leaf of a pair or a false door: the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed equivalent, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy levers are handed, in left hand and right hand versions.
19) The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is reversible - which comparable levers are also non-handed?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL has a fully reversible lever that installs on right hand and left hand doors, so one part number covers both swings. Among comparable cylindrical levers, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lock and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock both use a non-handed lever design. By contrast the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is ordered as a specific hand, with separate left hand and right hand part numbers, so the swing has to be confirmed before ordering that one.
20) I am standardizing lever hardware across a building - how does the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL fit alongside other trim families?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL is a Grade 2 keyed entry lever in the Tustin collection, offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Bright Chrome, Bright Brass and Matte Black, so one lever style can run across a set of exterior doors in a chosen finish. If the standard needs to be a single trim family carried across functions, the Accentra Augusta trim covers a Grade 2 passage lever in the 5300 Series, a Grade 2 passage lever in the 4600 Series and a Grade 1 single dummy in the 5400 Series. Bravura offers the same passage function across several trim designs, including Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2.
21) What is the difference between the Kwikset Tustin 740TNL lever and a knob lockset like the Arrow HK11?
The Kwikset Tustin 740TNL uses a lever handle, which is the trim style specified where ADA operation is wanted. The Arrow HK11 is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both give a keyed entrance function with inside locking, but the knob version cannot be swapped in where a lever is called for on the drawing. Arrow also builds the ball knob into the MK33-BD-CS, a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum function lock with a Schlage C keyway conventional cylinder.
22) What finishes does the Kwikset Tustin keyed entry lever come in?
Six finishes: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Bright Chrome, Bright Brass, and Matte Black. Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze are the two that most often match existing residential trim across a portfolio, so if you are standardizing a building, pick one and order the whole run in it.
23) Does the Kwikset Tustin lever have an antimicrobial coating for a healthcare or hospitality property?
Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the Tustin lever, and Kwikset states it keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. Worth noting that this is a residential Grade 2 lock, so it suits multi-family and hospitality guest room entries rather than a hospital corridor opening.
