Kwikset SK1000AS-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Safe Lock SK1000AS Athens passage knob lock or does it just latch?
Neither knob locks. The Athens SK1000AS is a passage function set, so both knobs always turn freely and there is no key and no pushbutton. It's for hall, closet, and interior doors that only need the latch to hold the door shut. If you need the door to lock from the inside, look at a privacy set such as the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob or the Dexter C2000 privacy knob instead.
2) Will the Athens SK1000AS knobset fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The Athens passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which takes in both the thinner older interior door and the standard 1-3/4 inch slab. The latch backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into either of the two common bore layouts without ordering a separate latch.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the SK1000AS Athens knobset?
No handing to specify. The Athens passage set is reversible and works on a left hand or right hand door out of the box, so one part number covers every opening in the building.
4) I need a heavier duty passage knob than the Athens SK1000AS for a commercial corridor - what should I use?
The Athens SK1000AS is a Grade 3 knobset catalogued for residential use. For commercial traffic, step up to the Schlage D10S passage latch, a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob lock with an orbit knob, or the Falcon X101, a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that accepts an interchangeable core and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Corbin Russwin CK4310 is another Grade 1 passage/closet knob, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
5) Is a dummy knob the same as the Athens SK1000AS passage knobset?
No. The Athens SK1000AS is a passage/hall/closet knobset with a working latch, so turning either knob retracts the bolt and the door latches shut. A dummy knob has no latch and does not turn - it is surface mounted trim for a door held by a ball catch or a fixed inactive leaf. Dummy options include the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob. Order a dummy only if the door does not need to latch.
6) What is a Grade 3 passage knob equivalent to the Safe Lock SK1000AS Athens if I need another brand?
The Safe Lock By Kwikset SK1000AS Athens is a Grade 3 non-keyed passage knobset for hall and closet doors. The closest like-for-like swap by grade and function is the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset, a Grade 3 passage function knob fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which is the same door thickness range the Athens covers. Both knobs stay free at all times with no locking, so either drops into the same interior opening.
7) The door needs to lock - what do I order instead of the Athens SK1000AS passage knobset?
The Athens SK1000AS is non-keyed with both knobs always free, so it will not lock. For a bed or bath door, the matching Grade 3 option is the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob or the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy Grade 3 knob lock, both fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock using a Kwikset keyway, which keys alongside other Kwikset-keyway cylinders.
8) Does the Athens SK1000AS work on a fire-rated door, or is there a better choice?
The Athens SK1000AS meets a UL 3 hour fire rating for all UL functions under UL Ref #R7860. If the spec calls for a commercial-listed passage knob instead, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage/closet knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated version. The Athens uses an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so confirm which backset the existing prep uses before substituting the fixed 2-3/4 inch W101.
9) Can the Safe Lock Athens passage knobset go on a fire rated closet door?
It meets the UL 3 hour fire rating for all UL functions under UL Ref #R7860. Bear in mind that a fire door assembly also has to self-close and positive latch, so the lock is only one part of what the inspector checks.
10) I need to match the Athens knob style on other doors that do lock. What else is in the family?
The Athens trim runs across functions: SK3000AS privacy, SK5000AS keyed entry, SK7000AS half dummy for a non-turning one-sided application, plus UL versions SK1002AS passage and SK5002AS keyed entry. Ordering within the Athens family keeps the knob and rose identical door to door.
11) The description mentions a KW 5 pin cylinder, but this is a passage set. Is there a key?
No key on the passage function. The Athens SK1000AS is non-keyed, both sides free. If you want the Kwikset keyway on a door that actually locks, go to the keyed Athens SK5000AS, or from another brand the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob is built with a Kwikset keyway.
12) Do I need to re-bore the door to install the Safe Lock Athens knobset?
Not if the door has a standard cylindrical prep. The Athens installs into standard prep doors, and because the latch backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches you don't have to know which layout the door was bored to before you order.
13) What is a Grade 2 passage knob alternative to the Safe Lock Athens SK1000AS for a rental corridor?
The Athens SK1000AS carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 rating. For a mid-tier step up on apartment hall and closet doors, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob is non-keyed and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range as the Athens. Arrow MK01 and Arrow RK01 are also Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks over that same door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet knob covering it as well.
14) I need a decorative passage knob instead of the contemporary Athens SK1000AS - what are the options?
The Athens SK1000AS is a contemporary-style knob offered in Satin Nickel and Polished Brass. For a traditional look on the same passage function, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose passage lock, which comes with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, both cover hall and closet doors. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is another passage option in solid brass.
15) Is there a multi-pack passage knob option instead of buying the Athens SK1000AS one at a time?
The Athens SK1000AS is sold as a single knobset per finish. For standardizing several interior doors on one order, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with an adjustable backset, which matches the adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset arrangement the Athens uses so the same door preps accept it.
16) Can I get the Athens passage knob and a keyed entry knob to match on the same house?
The Athens SK1000AS passage knobset is non-keyed for hall and closet doors, and the Athens family also includes the SK3000AS privacy, SK5000AS keyed entry, and SK7000AS half dummy in the same design. If you would rather buy the entry and passage together in one carton from another brand, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the Athens covers.
