Yale Residential YR21KW-619 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Yale Edge Keowee privacy lever work on a bathroom or bedroom door, and does it take a key?
The Keowee lever from Yale's Edge Series is a privacy/bed/bath set, so it locks from the inside with a thumbturn or pushbutton and has no key cylinder on the outside. It is non-keyed, which is what you want on a bathroom or bedroom. If you need a door that locks with a key from the hallway side, this is the wrong function and you should be looking at an entrance or entry set instead.
2) Do I have to order the Keowee lever left or right handed?
No handing to specify. The Keowee levers are non-handed, so one part number covers both swings and you set it up on the door during install. For a property manager buying a case of them for a building, that is one less mistake to make and one less SKU to stock.
3) What comes in the box with the Yale Keowee privacy lever set, and do I need anything else?
Each Keowee privacy set ships complete for one door: two levers, two roses, the interior chassis, the exterior chassis, the latch, a strike plate, and four screws. Nothing else is needed for a standard bored door that is already prepped. Yale Edge is built to install with a single tool, so it is a screwdriver job, not a specialty-tool job.
4) Is Grade 3 hardware good enough for an apartment or rental unit?
Grade 3 is the residential duty level, and the Keowee set is built to it. For interior bedroom and bathroom doors in apartments, condos, townhomes, garden homes, and single-family rentals, that is the right level of hardware. Where it is not enough is commercial traffic: a school, an office corridor, or a public restroom sees cycle counts that call for Grade 2 or Grade 1. For those openings, a Grade 1 privacy option like the Arrow MK02-TA is the heavier answer.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Yale Edge Keowee privacy lever from another residential brand?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is the nearest match. Like the Keowee, it is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever, and Kwikset lists it for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Both use a round rose trim, so the footprint on the door face is comparable. The Breton lever shape and the Keowee lever shape differ, so if the goal is to match levers already hung on other doors in the unit, pick on lever style.
6) I need the same Keowee lever look on a closet or hall door that does not lock. What do I use?
Privacy is the wrong function for a closet or hall door - it has a locking mechanism for bathrooms and bedrooms. For a non-locking opening, the Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, which matches the 619 satin nickel finish the Keowee is offered in. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever is also Grade 3 passage and pairs with the Breton privacy lever if you want one lever family across both door types.
7) Is a Grade 3 privacy lever enough for an apartment building bathroom, or should I step up to Grade 2?
The Yale Edge Keowee is built to Grade 3 standards and is designated residential, which is the tier written for town homes, condos, garden homes and single family. Where the bathroom sits on a commercial or high-traffic corridor, the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever is Grade 2 and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, so it also handles thicker leaves than a typical residential door. The Arrow MK02-TA is another privacy option and carries a fire rating, but it is a Tudor knob rather than a lever, which matters where ADA lever operation is required.
8) Which lever should I use for the entry door if I am putting Keowee privacy levers on the bedrooms?
The Keowee is non-keyed, so it is not an entry solution. For a Grade 3 entry lever in the same tier, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is an entrance/office function lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Callan Artino CLN-360201 is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. If the unit also needs a deadbolt at the same opening, the Callan Bennett CLN-BN3001R is a Grade 3 entrance leverset and deadbolt combination.
9) What finishes does the Keowee lever come in, and can I match the rest of the doors in the unit?
Three finishes: 10BP oil rubbed bronze permanent, 605 polished brass, and 619 satin nickel. Those are the whole range for the Keowee round rose set, so if the other openings in the building are satin nickel or oil rubbed bronze you can carry the look through. The 10BP is a permanent-coated bronze rather than a living finish, so it holds its color instead of wearing through at the grip.
10) I need a passage lever for a closet and a privacy lever for the bathroom in the same style. Does Keowee do both?
The Keowee privacy set is the bed/bath version, with a locking mechanism for rooms that need it. A closet or hall door does not need to lock, so that opening takes a passage function instead. Same trim family keeps the look consistent across the unit. If you are matching a whole floor and want Grade 3 residential passage levers, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a passage set at the same grade, and its privacy mate is the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton.
11) What is the difference between the Yale Keowee privacy lever and a commercial cylindrical privacy lock?
Duty level and where each belongs. The Keowee is a Grade 3 residential cylindrical leverset with a round rose, sized for housing. A commercial cylindrical privacy lock such as the Hager 2540 is Grade 2 and rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy lock that carries a fire rating. If the opening is in a rental unit or a house, Keowee is the correct class of hardware. If it is a fire-rated door or a commercial restroom, step up to one of those.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Keowee privacy lever but will not work on a bathroom door?
Dummy levers are the common mix-up. The Callan Bentley CLN-BN5051, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy are all dummy function - they are fixed trim with no latch, used on inactive leaves and closet fronts, so they cannot secure a bathroom. Passage levers such as the Falcon B101 or the Bravura Atlanta BVR-BV333002 do retract a latch but are non-locking passage function. Only a privacy function unit gives the bed and bath lock the Keowee provides.
13) The bathroom door is thicker than a standard residential door. Will the Keowee still be the right lever?
The Keowee is a residential Grade 3 cylindrical lever set built for the housing market. For a thicker leaf, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 cylindrical lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and carries a fire rating - both are passage function, so they fit hall and closet openings on thick doors. For a thick bathroom door specifically, the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is the privacy unit that reaches 2 inch.
14) Is the Yale Edge Keowee lever metal or is the trim plastic?
Metal construction. The Keowee lever and its round rose are metal substrate, not a plastic-shelled residential lever, which is what holds up under repeated grabbing on a bedroom or bath door in a rental.
15) Is the Keowee a lever or a knob, and does it help with accessibility?
It is a lever, on a round rose. Levers operate with a closed fist or a forearm rather than a twisting grip, which is why they get specified over knobs in accessible units and in senior housing. For an interior bath or bedroom door in a residential unit, this is the lever version of the same privacy function you would otherwise get in a knob.
16) I want a square rose instead of the round rose on the Keowee. What are my options?
The Keowee lever set is built around a round rose. The Bravura Tampa BVR-BV333702 uses square trim and is a Grade 2 leverset, though it is passage function rather than privacy, so it suits a hall or closet door rather than a bath. Within round trim, the Bravura Orlando BVR-BV333602 and Bravura Miramar BV940-106 in US4 satin brass are both Grade 2 round-trim leversets.
17) Is there a keypad lever alternative if I do not want a privacy turn button on the door?
The Keowee is a non-keyed privacy set operated by the interior locking mechanism. Where code access is wanted instead, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function covering doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a keypad option in Emtek's Classic trim family. These are access-control devices rather than bed and bath privacy hardware.
