Baldwin Reserve Ellipse Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Knob Set with Traditional Rose

Yes. The Reserve Ellipse keyed entry knob is a cylindrical bored lock built to drop into the 2.125 inch standard door preparation, with a 1 inch edge bore for the latch. If the door is already bored for a common residential knob, no new prep is needed.

Both. The Ellipse entry knob is supplied for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard bored-lock backsets, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore and it will land on one of them.

Yes. Keyed alike or keyed different is a selection made when ordering, and you can supply a key code if you are matching existing Baldwin cylinders. The lock uses Baldwin's C keyway. For a landlord or property manager putting the same knob on a front door, side door and rear door, keyed alike means one key runs the whole opening set.

Single cylinder. The key operates the outside only, and the inside knob has a turn to lock and unlock from within, so nobody needs a key to get out. That is the standard arrangement for an entrance function knob on a front or side door. If your door has glass beside it and you want key-both-sides operation, a single cylinder knob is not what you want.

The Baldwin Reserve Ellipse is designated residential. For openings that call for a commercial ANSI grade, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function single cylinder knob lock, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Where a storeroom function is needed instead, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 single cylinder storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Sargent 6G04 is the Grade 2 storeroom equivalent. For a classroom function, the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 classroom keyed ball knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin Reserve Ellipse is a single cylinder keyed entry knob set with an entry lock function. Among other brands, the Callan Edgewood is a Grade 2 entrance knobset, and the Callan Canova and Callan Santo are Grade 3 entrance knobsets. The Delaney Belton, Galway, and Olivia are also Grade 3 entrance knobsets. Deltana offers entry-function knobs including the 6171 Round Knob and the 3381 Egg Knob, both covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Baldwin is specified as residential and uses the Baldwin C-Keyway, so keying it into an existing system means matching that keyway rather than the keyway on any of these alternates.

Several traditional-styled knobs in the same shape family carry no key. The Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped knob and the Omnia 442/00 are single dummy locksets, and the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob is a passage latchset. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg knobset and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence knobsets are dummy pairs, and the Emtek Porcelain knobs ship as two knobs per set on a threaded rod. The Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, and the BEST 6K Series is a Grade 2 single dummy trim. None of these accept a key the way the Baldwin single cylinder entry knob does.

Three traditional rose shapes, arch, round and square, each offered in eight finishes: polished brass PVD, satin brass PVD, polished nickel PVD, Venetian bronze, satin nickel, matte antique nickel, satin black and polished chrome. Every rose shape is available in all eight, so you can pick the rose that matches your existing plate profile without giving up a finish.

Yes. Split finish and split rose are both order options on the Reserve Ellipse entry knob, so you can run polished nickel to match exterior trim and satin black inside, or pair an arch rose outside with a round rose in. You specify the combination when ordering.

For a rental where looks matter less, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is a Grade 3 entrance knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and ships with a round corner adjustable latch and strike. The Cal-Royal BER00 is another Grade 3 entrance knob on a Kwikset keyway, also 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Neither carries the Reserve finishes or the choice of arch, round and square roses, but both serve the same entrance function.

Not this one. The Ellipse with traditional rose is an entrance function lock with a keyed cylinder, meant for exterior and side doors. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy knob, and for a hall or closet a passage knob with no lock at all, such as the Bravura Albany round trim passage knobset or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

It is a knob, round-turn operation. If the opening has to be operable without tight grasping or twisting, a knob is the wrong choice and you should specify a lever instead. Baldwin Reserve offers lever styles on the same traditional rose and the same bored prep, so switching to a lever does not change the door preparation.

The Baldwin Reserve Ellipse is keyed with a single cylinder entry function, so for an interior opening that does not need a key there are non-keyed alternates. For hall and closet doors, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 passage is Grade 2 for the same thickness range, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 passage latch with an Orbit knob. For bed and bath, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy and the Dexter C2000 privacy are both Grade 3 and Grade 2 respectively in the same bore. For a door that needs no latch at all, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim and the Omnia 458/0 is a solid brass single dummy knob latchset with a 2-3/8 inch backset.

No. The Baldwin Reserve Ellipse is a cylindrical lockset that fits the standard 2-1/8 inch door preparation with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Exit device trim is a different part: the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with a knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim for the ED-500 Series. Those mount to the device chassis rather than into a bored cylindrical prep.

The Baldwin Reserve Ellipse is ordered as a single cylinder keyed entry knob set, one opening at a time, with keyed alike available across the order. If the preference is a single packaged set covering more than one door, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a keyed exterior knob bought door by door in a simpler line, the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the Master Lock BC Series Biscuit knob is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob.

The Baldwin Reserve Ellipse is keyed on the Baldwin C-Keyway. For an opening where a key is not wanted at all, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, covering 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors. If the goal instead is a keyed lock that a facility can rekey in place through an interchangeable core, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knobset with an interchangeable core and a fire rating, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

Yes. The Ellipse is part of the Baldwin Reserve Series, which mixes knob and lever styles on the same traditional rose family and the same 2.125 inch bored prep. Run the knob on the entry and a Reserve lever elsewhere and the rose and finish carry through the house.

The Baldwin Reserve Ellipse is a traditional design knob set. For traditional-look passage knobs on the interior doors, the Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg with round trim are Grade 2 passage knobsets, and the Bravura Dallas with rectangle trim is a Grade 2 passage knobset in US4 satin brass. The Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob passage latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection. Arrow offers the MK01 and RK01 Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks, both for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, with the RK01 using a ball knob.
