Baldwin BAL-6554.003.ENTR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin 6554 Barclay trim fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The 6554 Barclay entrance trim covers doors from 1-1/2 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch door is inside the range. Thin and thick doors are handled by swapping in alternative length spindles and mounting hardware, so match the spindle length to the door you actually have. Note the low end: at 1-1/2 inches this trim will not suit a standard 1-3/8 inch interior door.
2) Is the Baldwin 6554 Barclay a complete lock, or just the decorative trim?
It is the trim only. The 6554 Barclay is the decorative arched escutcheon and knob trim that dresses a mortise lock; the mortise lock case, cylinder and the rest of the mortise components are separate. A full mortise specification takes multiple parts and the door has to be prepped for a mortise pocket, not a bored hole. If your door is drilled for a standard bored lock, this is not a drop-in.
3) What functions can I order the Baldwin 6554 Barclay trim in?
Five configurations: Entrance Trim, Double Cylinder, Full Dummy, Dummy Exterior only, and a set pairing one active entrance set with one full dummy set (that last one is what you order for a pair of doors where only one leaf operates). The base cataloged function is Entry. Escutcheon plates are also offered cut for cylinder, cut for emergency release, cut for knob, cut for turn knob and cut for privacy, which is how you build a passage, privacy or dummy set out of the same trim.
4) I have a double door where only one leaf opens. What do I order for the Baldwin 6554?
Order the 1 Active Entrance Set + 1 Full Dummy Set configuration. That gives you an operating entrance trim on the active leaf and matching non-operating trim on the inactive leaf, so both doors read identically from the street. If the inactive leaf only needs exterior appearance, the Dummy Exterior only version covers just the outside face.
5) I have thick 2-1/4 inch entry doors. Which handlesets will actually fit?
The Baldwin 6554 Barclay trim goes to 2-1/4 inches at the top of its range, which is unusual for residential trim. Among the alternatives, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX and BYRD226CBARX Assure touchscreen deadbolts with Ridgefield handleset also cover 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches if you want an electronic option. Most standard handlesets stop at 1-3/4 inches and will not reach.
6) The door is prepped for a standard bored lock, not a mortise case. What should be used instead of the Baldwin 6554 Barclay?
The 6554 Barclay is mortise trim and expects a mortise lock case in the door edge. For a door bored for a tubular handleset, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever, Grade 2, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is an entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What is a direct alternative to the Baldwin 6554 Barclay for a mortise door prepped for a knob and separate escutcheon?
The Emtek 3002 Memphis is a brass mortise entrance handleset built for the same mortise door condition, and Emtek offers the same mortise pattern in the 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan. Where the Baldwin 6554 Barclay is offered in an Entrance Trim function alongside Full Dummy and Dummy Exterior only, the Emtek 3002 Memphis is a dummy function, so it suits an inactive leaf rather than a keyed opening.
8) Which handleset should be specified when the entry needs keypad or smartphone access rather than a key?
The Baldwin 6554 Barclay is key-operated trim in Entrance Trim and Double Cylinder functions. For electronic access, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free Wi-Fi touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset over the same range, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door.
9) Can I use a different knob or lever with the Baldwin Barclay 6554 trim?
Yes, that is how it is meant to be specified. The Barclay escutcheon accepts a substituted knob or lever of your choice, and using the plate on its own lets you build passage, privacy or dummy sets from the same trim family. Baldwin catalogs it under the Estate Series, so keep your knob or lever selection in that line to match the plate.
10) Does the Baldwin 6554 Barclay come in oil rubbed bronze or satin black?
Both, plus eleven more. The full finish range is Polished Brass, Non-Lacquered Brass, Vintage Brass, Satin Brass, Satin Brass and Black, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Satin Brass and Brown, Graphite Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Venetian Bronze, Satin Black and Polished Chrome. The Lifetime Satin Nickel is nickel plating over solid brass, a matte PVD finish, which is the one to pick if you want a silver tone that holds up outdoors.
11) Is the Baldwin 6554 Barclay rated for a commercial entrance?
It is a residential product. Baldwin lists the 6554 Barclay for residential use, so for a leased commercial entry, a school or a healthcare corridor you want a graded commercial lockset instead. For light-duty residential-style entries where a grade is still wanted, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison handleset and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset are both Grade 2.
12) I need a thumbturn on the inside instead of a second key. Can the Baldwin 6554 do that?
Yes. The Barclay escutcheon is offered cut for turn knob, and separately cut for cylinder, so you can specify a keyed outside plate with a turn knob inside. If you want key on both sides, order the Double Cylinder function instead. Double cylinder is what fire egress codes often restrict in a dwelling, so pick the turn knob side unless you have a specific reason for keyed inside.
13) I am replacing trim on several doors in one house. Will the Barclay 6554 match across entry, privacy and closet doors?
It will, and that is the usual way to spec it. Order the working entry function on the exterior door, then use the same Barclay escutcheon cut for privacy on bathrooms and bedrooms and Full Dummy on closets or inactive leaves. Same plate profile, same finish across all thirteen finish options, so the openings read as one set. Each door still needs its own mortise prep and the matching internal components.
14) Is a Kwikset 687 Amador exterior-only handleset the same thing as the Baldwin 6554 Barclay Dummy Exterior only?
They fill different roles. The Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador is a single cylinder keyed door entry handleset with SmartKey, exterior only, an entrance function at Grade 3 for a 1-3/4 inch door; the 687AMD SMC version is the same handleset with an SC1 keyway SmartKey cylinder. The Baldwin 6554 Barclay Dummy Exterior only is a non-operating exterior trim, and the keyed side of the Barclay range is the Entrance Trim and Double Cylinder functions.
15) What can be used for the inactive leaf of a pair of doors instead of the Baldwin 6554 Barclay Full Dummy?
The Baldwin 6554 Barclay is offered as a Full Dummy and as a 1 Active Entrance Set plus 1 Full Dummy Set for a door pair. On the tubular side, the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob is a dummy function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range with a lever instead of a knob.
16) What solid brass handleset alternatives are there to the Baldwin 6554 Barclay for a decorative front door?
Deltana offers four solid brass entry handlesets in that vein: the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all entry function, and the 810871 Montego fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin 6554 Barclay differs in application, since it is mortise trim rather than a complete handleset, and it is finished in options including 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 044 Satin Brass and 003 Polished Brass.
17) The opening needs a keyed deadbolt with a passage latch below it, not a mortise entry. What replaces the Baldwin 6554 Barclay there?
That is an interconnected arrangement rather than mortise trim. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 in the JI Series is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, a passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and Grade 2. The Baldwin 6554 Barclay instead provides the decorative escutcheon trim over a mortise case and is offered in an Entry lock function.
18) What non-keyed handleset works for a back or interior door where the Baldwin 6554 Barclay Entrance Trim is more than is needed?
The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin 6554 Barclay covers the same intent through its Full Dummy function, and the description notes the escutcheon plate can be used to create passage, privacy or dummy sets with a knob or lever of choice.
