Baldwin Reserve Columbus Double Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Traditional Rose

Check your local code before you buy. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus double cylinder handleset needs a key to unlock from the inside as well as the outside, which is why the manufacturer flags it as a possible safety hazard in an emergency. Some jurisdictions restrict key-operated locks on the egress side of a dwelling. Where a double cylinder is not permitted, or where you don't want a key hanging by the door, a single cylinder handleset with a thumbturn inside is the alternative, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever or the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob.

The Columbus handleset works at either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two backsets used on residential doors, so it drops onto standard prep either way. The edge bore is 1 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore face hole to confirm which backset your door was drilled for.

Yes. The Columbus ships on Baldwin's 5-pin C keyway as standard, so it keys with other Baldwin C keyway cylinders. You choose keyed alike or keyed different when ordering, and there's an optional key code field if you have an existing Baldwin code you need the set cut to. If your other doors are on a Kwikset or Schlage keyway, this set will not take those keys as supplied.

Only if you pick a lever for the inside trim. The Curve, Decorative, and Federal levers are each ordered left handed or right handed, so you need to know the swing before you order. The knob options, Ellipse, Round, and Traditional, are not handed and work either way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's a left hand door.

No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function, as are the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan. A dummy handleset is surface-applied trim with no operating latch or cylinder, used on an inactive leaf or a pull side. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a keyed entry handleset with a double cylinder function and a C-keyway cylinder. They look similar on the door and are not interchangeable. Dummy trim is the right choice only for the fixed half of a pair of doors.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is built as a double cylinder keyed entry handleset, meaning a key operates it from the interior as well as the exterior. Among the other handlesets carried alongside it, the keyed entry models are single cylinder: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is single cylinder, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is single cylinder, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are single cylinder exterior-only handlesets. Those all use a thumbturn on the inside rather than a keyed cylinder. If the requirement is a key on the interior side, the Columbus is the one that meets it. Double cylinder locks require a key to exit and can be restricted by local code, so confirm the code for the occupancy before specifying.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus uses a Baldwin 5-pin C-keyway cylinder. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is offered both as an SMT SmartKey handleset and as the 687AMD SMC version with an SC1 keyway SmartKey, and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview is an SMT SmartKey handleset. Those are different keyway families from the Baldwin C-keyway, so a single key will not operate across them as supplied. Where a common key is the requirement, standardize the openings on one keyway family; the Columbus can be ordered keyed alike within its own group.

By default the interior trim comes in the same finish as the exterior. Split finish is available, but it isn't a dropdown, you type the two finishes you want into the split finish field on the order. Useful when the exterior has to match the other street-facing hardware and the interior has to match everything else in the house.

It's a residential entry handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. Grade 2 suits apartment and light commercial door traffic, but a heavy-use commercial front door normally calls for a Grade 1 lock. Among comparable handlesets, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also a Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador is a Grade 3.

Yes, keyed alike is an ordering option, so a set of Columbus handlesets can be supplied on one key for a building or a group of units. Order them together, on the same finish and the same interior trim, and use the key code field if they need to match cylinders you already have on the Baldwin C keyway. Note the double cylinder function needs a key inside as well, which is worth thinking through for tenant-occupied units before standardizing on it.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is keyed on both sides using a Baldwin 5-pin C-keyway, so entry and exit both take a key. If the goal is to stop carrying keys, the electronic options work differently: the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset, the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever handleset with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt in the Signature Series. Those Yale sets cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and the Kwikset San Clemente is listed for 1-3/4 inch.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a Reserve Series handleset that is configured across finish, interior knob or lever style and rose shape, and it uses a double cylinder that requires a key to exit. For a rental front door where a tenant needs to get out without a key, the single cylinder options are more straightforward: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 F Series handleset, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador with SmartKey is Grade 3 and is supplied as exterior trim only, which suits a job where the interior trim is being kept.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a keyed entry handleset. For an opening that should not be keyed, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function, Grade 2, J Series, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door only needs trim and no latching at all, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are dummy handlesets covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those three keep a handleset appearance on the opening without a cylinder to key.

The Deltana entry handlesets are close in character but differ in function detail. The Deltana 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all solid brass entry function handlesets, and the 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is an entry handleset as well, but specifically a double cylinder that is keyed from the interior, and it is ordered with a chosen interior knob or lever and a Traditional Arch, Round or Square rose. If the design direction is solid brass traditional trim, the Deltana sets sit in the same territory; if the interior side has to be key operated, that is where the Columbus differs.

They solve different problems. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, JI Series, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; its lever is passage function with the security coming from the separate deadbolt, and it is a lever set rather than a gripped handleset. The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is a handleset with a double cylinder keyed entry function and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Choose the interconnected set where a single interior motion should retract both latch and bolt; choose the Columbus where the opening calls for a full exterior grip and a key on the inside.

The Baldwin Reserve Columbus is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security and is a residential handleset. Among the peers, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, the Schlage JE285 Barcelona, the Schlage JI18/19 and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D are Grade 2, while the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview handlesets are Grade 3. Where a submittal calls out a grade line by line, those are the sets to put against it.

Eight: Polished Brass PVD (003), Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Nickel (150), Matte Antique Nickel (152), Satin Black (190), and Polished Chrome (260). The PVD finishes are the ones to look at for an exposed exterior door, since PVD is a hard vapor-deposited coating rather than a lacquer.

The rose is the escutcheon plate the interior knob or lever mounts through, and the Columbus offers three shapes: Traditional Arch (TAR), Traditional Round (TRR), and Traditional Square (TSR). It's a trim decision, not a function one. Pick the shape that matches the roses on the interior doors already in the house so the entry doesn't read as an odd one out.
