Why Sure-Loc Juniper?
Sure-Loc Juniper knobsets combine formed brass construction with a tubular, single-cylinder keyed design to deliver dependable performance across everyday residential applications. The keyed-alike-in-sets-of-4 configuration simplifies key management for homeowners with multiple doors, while the adjustable 2-3/8" to 2-3/4" backset and 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door thickness range make installation straightforward across common door preparations.

Sure-Loc JN100 15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Sure-Loc Juniper knob fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door and a 1-3/4 inch entry door?
Both. The Juniper knobset covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, which spans typical interior slabs and standard entry doors, so one part number works across an apartment or house.
2) Do I need to know my backset before ordering a Sure-Loc Juniper knob?
No. The Juniper latch adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, the two standard bore-to-edge dimensions on residential doors, so you can set it on site to match the existing prep.
3) Can I get all the keyed Juniper knobs on one key?
Yes. The keyed Juniper entry knobs ship keyed alike in sets of 4, so a landlord or homeowner running front, rear and utility doors opens them all with one key without a locksmith rekeying anything.
4) What keyway does the Sure-Loc Juniper entry knob use, and can I match my existing keys?
Juniper ships on the KW1 Kwikset keyway, with SC1 (Schlage) available. If the rest of the building is already on one of those two keyways, a locksmith can key the Juniper to match rather than issuing a second key.
5) Which Juniper function do I order for a bedroom, a closet, and a front door?
Four functions are offered. Privacy (push-button, no key) for bedrooms and baths, Passage for closets and hallways where you just need a latch, Entry for exterior front and rear doors with the single-cylinder key, and Dummy for a non-operating pull on a fixed or false door.
6) Is the Sure-Loc Juniper knob suitable for a commercial or school door?
No. Juniper is a residential tubular knobset built for homes, apartments and rental turnovers. For commercial traffic, look at a cylindrical Grade 1 or Grade 2 lock such as the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset or the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock.
7) My door is 2 inches thick. Will a Sure-Loc Juniper knob work?
No, Juniper tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker slab, a Deltana knob such as the 6171 Round Knob Entry covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance lock also handles up to 2 inches.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Sure-Loc Juniper keyed entry knob from another residential brand?
The Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is the nearest residential match. It is a Grade 3 entrance-function knob fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the Juniper covers, and it ships with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike. The Juniper entry knob is a tubular single-cylinder design in a KW1 keyway with SC1 available, so keying between the two families is a conversation to have with your keying desk. The Cal-Royal BER00 is another option, a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock built on the Kwikset keyway and rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) I need a knob for a commercial corridor, not a house. What should I use instead of the Sure-Loc Juniper?
The Juniper is a residential-duty knobset, so for a commercial opening move to a graded cylindrical lock. The Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder and 2-3/4 inch backset. The BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance-function single cylinder knob lock. If Grade 2 satisfies the spec, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob lock takes a conventional cylinder and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom knob lock with single cylinder.
10) Which knobs look like a substitute for the Sure-Loc Juniper entry knob but will not actually work on an entry door?
Dummy and passage trim will not. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim are non-keyed and have no latch at all, so they are surface trim for an inactive leaf. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown dummy ship as pairs of dummy knobs. Passage units such as the Arrow MK01 and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob latch but do not lock or key. Only the entry Juniper carries the single-cylinder keyed function.
11) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch. What knob works there instead of the Sure-Loc Juniper?
The Juniper is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker stock, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob lock and CK4310 passage/closet knob both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and 6171 Round Knob entry also list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The widest in the group is the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which uses an interchangeable core and is fire rated.
12) I need a classroom or storeroom function knob, which the Sure-Loc Juniper does not offer. What should I order?
The Juniper covers dummy, entry, passage and privacy only. For classroom function, the Dexter C2000 Series classroom cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, keyed and non-clutching for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For storeroom, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 single cylinder storeroom/closet knob lock, and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty version with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
13) Does anything comparable to the Sure-Loc Juniper carry a fire rating?
Two knobsets in the comparable group are fire rated: the Falcon W101, a Grade 2 medium duty passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with an interchangeable core covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Juniper is a residential tubular knobset intended for homes, apartments, bedrooms, closets and entry doors.
14) What finishes does the Sure-Loc Juniper knob come in, and is every function available in each?
Three finishes: 11P Vintage Bronze, 15 Satin Nickel, and FBL Flat Black. All four functions (Dummy, Passage, Privacy, Entry) are built in all three, so you can finish a whole unit consistently.
15) How does the Juniper entry knob compare to a Kwikset 400P Polo entry knob?
Both are keyed-entry residential knobs on the Kwikset KW1 keyway, and the Kwikset 400P-CP covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference is packaging and key management: Juniper is sold keyed alike in sets of 4 for multi-door jobs, and is offered in Vintage Bronze, Satin Nickel and Flat Black.
16) What is a comparable privacy knob if I do not need the Juniper's keyed entry function?
The Juniper is offered in dummy, entry, passage and privacy functions, so a privacy Juniper covers bed and bath directly. If you want a different brand in that function, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim over the same door thickness range. For a Grade 2 privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is non-clutching and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) I want a decorative brass knob rather than the Sure-Loc Juniper. What are the options?
The Juniper uses formed brass in vintage bronze, satin nickel and flat black. For a more traditional solid brass look, Omnia offers the 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset with a 3 inch projection and the 442/00 traditional single dummy latchset with a 2-5/8 inch rose, both solid brass. Baldwin Estate options include the 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose. Emtek porcelain and crystal knobsets are also in the group if you want a non-metal knob face.
18) Is there a keyless option instead of the Sure-Loc Juniper keyed entry knob for a rental turnover?
Yes. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, which removes rekeying between tenants entirely. The Juniper takes the opposite approach for multi-door properties: it is keyed alike in sets of 4 on a KW1 keyway with SC1 available, so one key runs several openings.
19) My opening has a 2-3/4 inch backset. Do I still need the adjustable-backset Sure-Loc Juniper?
The Juniper's backset adjusts from 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch, so it covers that bore either way. If you prefer a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage knob lock and the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock are both built at 2-3/4 inch. For a fixed 2-3/8 inch bore, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is preconfigured at 2-3/8 inch with a full lip strike in both passage and privacy.
20) Is the Sure-Loc Juniper an electronic or keypad lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical tubular knobset with a key cylinder on the entry function. If you want keyless mechanical code entry on a knob instead, the Lockey 3830 combination knob lock covers 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors.
21) What is the Sure-Loc Juniper knob made of?
Formed brass, in a tubular single-cylinder keyed design. Model numbers in the family are JN100, JN101, JN102 and JN107 depending on function.
