depends on the lock .
 if your lock has a Fly  on the tumbler then yes . if not , then no . not without changing out the tumbler

the fly is a small ear that sets to your tumbler . it drops down and cover the half cock  when you pull the  lock to full cock

 if you take a look at this link , the "Fly" is Letter H
 your tumbler has to have that part or your double set will not trip the lock past the half cock
