Kwikset SK3000AS-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens privacy knob fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The SK3000AS Athens privacy knobset covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which takes in both the thinner older interior slab and standard 1-3/4 inch stock. The latch is adjustable for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into either standard bore layout without ordering a separate latch.
2) How does the Athens SK3000AS privacy knob lock and unlock, and can you get in if someone is locked in the bathroom?
A turnbutton on the inside knob locks and unlocks both knobs. From the hallway side, the outside knob is released with the emergency key that comes with it, so a bathroom or bedroom can be opened from outside in an emergency. There is no cylinder to key, it is a non-keyed privacy function.
3) Do I need to order a left-hand or right-hand version of this Kwikset Athens privacy knob?
No handing to specify. The Athens SK3000AS is reversible and works on left or right hand doors as supplied, so one part number covers every opening in a building. That matters if you are buying in quantity for a multi-unit property and do not want to survey swing direction door by door.
4) Can the Athens SK3000AS privacy knobset go on a fire-rated door?
It meets the UL 3 hour fire rating for all UL functions, UL Ref #R7860. That covers a rated interior opening where a privacy function is allowed. It also complies with ADA requirements.
5) I have a 2 inch thick door. Will this Kwikset Athens knob work?
No. The Athens SK3000AS tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a 2 inch door, look at the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which is listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Safe Lock by Kwikset SK3000AS Athens privacy knobset?
The Cal-Royal BER20 is the nearest match. Like the SK3000AS, it is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath knob lock, and it carries the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range the Athens covers. The Pamex FTF privacy knob lockset (PMX-FTF10) is a second Grade 3 privacy knob option with that same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range. Both swap into the same interior bedroom and bathroom openings the Athens is intended for.
7) I need a heavier privacy knob than a Grade 3 for a multi-family corridor bathroom. What steps up?
The Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob lock (DEX-C2000-PRIV-KNB) is a Grade 2 privacy/bed/bath cylindrical knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, one ANSI grade above the Grade 3 Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens. It is non-clutching and non-keyed, same as the Athens privacy function, so the opening prep and user experience carry over while the cycle rating goes up.
8) If the same room needs a key instead of a turnbutton, what is the matching keyed knob?
The Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens is non-keyed privacy. For a keyed opening in the same Grade 3 class, the Cal-Royal BER00 is an entrance/office knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors that uses a Kwikset keyway, which matters if you are keying to existing Kwikset cylinders. The Pamex FTF entrance/office knob (PMX-FTF-00) is another Grade 3 keyed option across the same thickness range.
9) Which knobs look like a privacy substitute but will not actually lock the bathroom door?
Dummy trim is the trap. The Schlage A170 single dummy, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset and the Omnia 442/00 and 458/0 single dummy latchsets are all non-turning, non-latching trim with no privacy function at all. The Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens is a privacy/bed/bath lock where both knobs are locked by an inside turnbutton and the outside knob releases with an emergency key - none of the dummy units give you that.
10) We spec Grade 1 commercial knobs facility-wide. Is the Athens SK3000AS the wrong product for us?
Likely yes. The Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens is a Grade 3 residential knobset. For Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knobs, look at the Schlage D10S passage latch, the Falcon X101 passage knobset with interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom/closet knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the BEST 8K entrance knob, or the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Note that none of those is a privacy function, so a bed/bath opening in a Grade 1 facility needs to be specified separately.
11) I have a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches - which knob covers it if the Athens does not?
The Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens is rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stock, the Deltana 3381 Egg, 6171 Round and 6112 St. Thomas knobs all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inch. Of those, the Deltana 6112 is the privacy function match.
12) What finishes does the Safe Lock Athens SK3000AS knobset come in?
Two: Satin Nickel and Polished Brass. If you are matching other openings in the same unit, the Athens family runs the same styling across functions, so passage (SK1000AS), keyed entry (SK5000AS) and half dummy (SK7000AS) can be finished to match this privacy set.
13) I need a privacy knob for a bedroom but not a keyed one. Which function do I order?
Privacy is the right pick for bedrooms and bathrooms, and that is what the SK3000AS is. If the door is a closet or hallway that needs to latch but never lock, order the Athens SK1000AS passage instead. If it is an entry door that needs a key, that is the SK5000AS keyed entry. A privacy knob has no keyway on the outside, only the emergency release.
14) The door does not need to lock at all - what do I use instead of the Athens privacy knob?
Drop to a passage function. The Pamex FTF passage knob lockset (PMX-FTF30) is the direct sibling: Grade 3, passage/hall/closet function, 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, matching the Athens SK3000AS grade and thickness range without the turnbutton. The Dexter C2000 passage ball knob (DEX-C2000-PASS-KNB) is a Grade 2 passage knob for the same thickness range if you want a heavier latch on a closet or hall door.
15) Will a Baldwin or Deltana privacy knob work as a substitute for the Athens SK3000AS?
They will lock the same way but they are a different class of product. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose are both privacy function, with the Baltimore preconfigured at a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike - where the Athens ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is privacy/bed/bath but spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Check the backset before you order a fixed-backset knob into a 2-3/4 inch bore.
16) Is a keyless combination knob like the Lockey 3830 an alternative to the Athens privacy knobset?
They solve different problems. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, controlling who gets in by code. The Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens is a privacy/bed/bath knob with no keying at all - the occupant throws an inside turnbutton and staff can release the outside knob with an emergency key. For a bedroom or bathroom door, the Athens is the intended function; the Lockey suits a door you want access-controlled.
17) Is this knobset all metal or does it have plastic internals?
All-metal construction, and it installs into a standard door prep with no special boring. That is the main reason property managers pick it over builder-grade sets that use plastic chassis parts on turn-heavy bathroom doors.
18) I am rekeying a whole apartment and want one combo for the entry plus matching interior knobs. What pairs with the Athens?
The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range as the Safe Lock SK3000AS Athens, and the Athens also ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset. If you would rather stay in one knob family, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob 6-pack with adjustable backset lets you do the interior doors in a single order.
