Kwikset SK7000AS-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Safe Lock SK7000AS Athens half dummy knob actually turn, or is it just a pull?
No turning at all. The SK7000AS Athens is a half dummy: a single knob, surface mounted, for doors where all you need is something to pull on. There is no latch, no spindle action, no key. Use it on a closet door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, on the inactive leaf of a French pair, or on a false drawer-style panel. If the door needs to latch, this is the wrong part.
2) Do I need to bore a 2-1/8 inch hole for the Safe Lock Athens SK7000AS dummy knob?
No. The Athens half dummy mounts on the surface of the door, so there is no cross bore and no latch prep to cut. That also means it goes on a door that has never been drilled without leaving you a hole to fill. If you are replacing a working knob and want to cover the existing 2-1/8 inch prep, a dummy trim is not the answer, you need a passage set such as the Safe Lock SK1000AS Athens passage knobset, which uses the same Athens knob.
3) Will the Safe Lock Athens dummy knob match the passage and privacy knobs already on my other doors?
If those doors carry the Athens design from Safe Lock by Kwikset, yes. The Athens knobset runs across the SK1000AS passage, SK3000AS privacy, SK5000AS keyed entry, plus the UL-listed SK1002AS passage and SK5002AS keyed entry, and the SK7000AS half dummy is the matching non-functioning trim for that group. For a property manager standardizing a building, that is one knob shape and one finish across closets, bedrooms, and entries.
4) Is the Safe Lock Athens knob rated for a commercial building or an apartment turnover?
Grade 3 to ANSI A156.5/BHMA, and the catalog classifies it residential. That is the right duty level for apartments, single family, and light interior doors. For a corridor, a school, or anything taking real traffic, step up: the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 heavy duty in the A Series.
5) Can I put a dummy knob on a fire rated door?
The Athens knobset meets a UL 3 hour fire rating for all UL functions under UL reference R7860. Read the function list carefully though: within the Athens family, the UL-listed working functions are the SK1002AS passage and SK5002AS keyed entry. A half dummy has no latch, so on a rated opening the door still has to be positively latched by something else. Put the dummy on the inactive leaf or a non-rated closet, not in place of the latching hardware on a labeled door.
6) Will the Safe Lock Athens hardware work on a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes, the Athens knobsets cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the older 1-3/8 inch interior slab and the 1-3/4 inch standard. If you have thicker doors on the job, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage lock goes to 2 inches and the Falcon X101 passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inches.
7) I ordered a dummy knob but the door needs to latch shut. What should I have bought?
A passage set. Within the same Athens design, the SK1000AS passage knobset keeps the look and adds the latch. Other passage knobs in the same class: Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob, or Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage. If the door needs to lock from inside, a privacy set like the Athens SK3000AS or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob is what you want.
8) I need the knob on a closet door to actually turn and retract a latch - what should I order instead of the Athens half dummy?
The Athens SK7000AS is dummy function with no operation, so it will not retract a latch on a closet or hall door. For a turning knob with a latch, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 knob lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the Athens door thickness range. The Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is Grade 2 and non-keyed over the same thickness range, and the Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob lock. For heavier commercial traffic, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with a fire rating and an interchangeable core, fitting doors up to 2-1/4 inch.
9) What knob looks like the Athens half dummy but is not a substitute for it?
Several knobs share the Athens look and none of them do the same job. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so it has a turning knob and a bed and bath lock, where the Athens SK7000AS is dummy function with no operation. The Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance and office lock with a Kwikset keyway, which reads as a Kwikset match but is keyed; the Athens carries no cylinder and is non-keyed. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design and the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim in entrance function - both are knob trim for another device rather than a standalone fixed pull. The Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in passage function with a 3 inch projection, an operating latchset rather than dummy trim.
10) The opening needs to lock, not just pull - what replaces the Athens half dummy?
The Athens SK7000AS is non-keyed dummy trim with no operation, so it cannot secure an opening. For a keyed knob at the same Grade 3 level, the Cal-Royal BER00 is an entrance and office lock with a Kwikset keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Master Lock BC Series BC01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry biscuit knob. For a bed and bath push-button instead, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock over the same door thickness range. On commercial openings, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom and closet knob lock with a single cylinder and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom version.
11) I need a matching knob on both sides of a closet door. Will one SK7000AS cover it?
One SK7000AS gives you one knob on one face. For knobs on both faces you need two of them, one per side. Buyers who want a factory pair in a single order are looking at something like the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy knobset, which ships as a pair.
12) Does handing matter when ordering the Athens SK7000AS dummy knob?
It does not. The Athens knobset is reversible, so it works on left hand or right hand doors and you do not have to survey which way each door swings before placing a bulk order.
13) Is the Safe Lock Athens knob ADA compliant?
The Athens knobset complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act per the manufacturer. Worth knowing that on an ADA-governed opening the operable hardware is what gets scrutinized, and a half dummy is not operable hardware, it is a pull. On a project where lever operation is required, a knob is generally not the shape inspectors want on the working doors.
14) What backset and strike come with the Safe Lock Athens knobsets?
The Athens knobsets use an adjustable latch set for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, with a round corner faceplate and a 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner strike. Those are the two backsets found on virtually every bored door in North America, so the latch drops into an existing prep without a second SKU. On the SK7000AS half dummy itself there is no latch or strike, since it mounts to the door face with no bore.
15) Is there a dummy knob that matches a Grade 2 commercial series I already have on other doors?
The Athens SK7000AS is a Grade 3 residential dummy knob, so it will not carry a commercial series line. If the building already runs BEST cylindrical hardware, the 6K Series single dummy trim is the Grade 2 medium duty dummy in that family, alongside the 8K Series Grade 1 heavy duty entrance lock. On Schlage A Series, the A170 single dummy trim is the Grade 2 dummy. Corbin Russwin runs the CK4410 Grade 2 passage and closet cylindrical lock in the CK4400 Series with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, with the CK4310 as the Grade 1 CK4300 Series passage version fitting up to 2 inch doors.
16) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what knob works where the Athens does not?
The Athens SK7000AS fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For thicker leaves, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage and closet lock and the CK4851 Grade 1 entrance and office lock both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, as do the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob. The Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
17) What finish does the Safe Lock SK7000AS Athens dummy knob come in?
Satin nickel, finish code 619, is the finish the Athens half dummy is built in. That matters when you are filling in a gap on a floor already done in satin nickel, since 619 is the standard commercial satin nickel designation and will sit alongside the passage and privacy Athens knobs in the same finish.
18) Is the Safe Lock Athens dummy knob plastic inside?
All-metal construction is what the Athens knobset is built from, which is the difference that shows up on a dummy knob after a few thousand pulls on a closet door. The styling is contemporary, and the knob shape matches the working Athens functions.
