Handing matters here. Every function is sold left hand or right hand, so you need to know which way the door swings before ordering. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it's a left hand door. The handing choices cover single cylinder entry, double cylinder entry, and full dummy, each in LH and RH.

Single cylinder keys from the outside only, with a thumbturn on the inside. Double cylinder takes a key on both faces, which is what people specify when there's glass next to the door and they don't want someone reaching through to a turn. Both are entry function. Many local codes restrict double cylinder deadbolts on required egress doors, so confirm what your jurisdiction allows before choosing it.

Several peers are handlesets in name but change what the buyer is installing. The Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador and 687BW SMT Belleview are single cylinder handlesets supplied as exterior only, so they do not include the interior lever trim the Baldwin 85385 pairs with its 5485V Soho lever. The Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and the 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT Kwikset San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever put an electronic keypad deadbolt in place of a keyed cylinder. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is an Entrance-listed non-keyed unit, and the Schlage JI18/19 with Torino lever is a Passage function interconnected lock rather than a bored handleset with an Entry cylinder.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho two-point handleset carries an Entry lock function and pairs the exterior grip with a 5485V Soho lever. Two peers match that lever-trim keyed entry pattern directly: the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever, a Grade 2 F Series unit fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel, an Entry function unit fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both give you a keyed exterior grip with an interior lever, the same swap a property manager makes when matching an existing entry door.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho handleset covers a minimum door thickness of 1-3/8 inch and a maximum of 2 inch, so it spans the full range up to a 2 inch slab. Among the peers, the Deltana 810871 Montego handleset lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and three Weslock units list the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range: the 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob, the 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever, and the 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob. The Schlage F60 Addison and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington both stop at 1-3/4 inch, so they do not reach a 2 inch door.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho is a residential handleset. Where a written spec calls out a grade, the peers that state one are the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series at Grade 2 with an Entrance function, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison at Grade 2 in the F Series, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview at Grade 3 with an Entrance function. For multi-family or hospitality work where the submittal has to carry a grade line, those are the handlesets that answer it.

It does. The 85385 Soho is offered as a full dummy set with the 5485V Soho lever, in both left hand and right hand, so you can put a working entry handleset on the active leaf and a non-operating twin on the inactive one. Order the dummy in the same finish and the pair reads as one set.

Fourteen, and the range is wide enough to match most existing Baldwin hardware in a house: 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, polished chrome, and distressed oil rubbed bronze. Non-lacquered brass and distressed oil rubbed bronze are living finishes, so they change with handling and weather rather than staying uniform.

It's built as a residential handleset, part of Baldwin's Estate Series, and that's how it should be specified. The handleset itself is solid forged brass with a high grade steel deadbolt strike, so it's substantial hardware, but for a commercial opening on a code path you want a graded commercial lockset instead. For a residential-grade alternative with a stated grade, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2.

No separate deadbolt needed. A two-point handleset like the Baldwin 85385 Soho combines the deadbolt and the latch into one assembly with a single exterior grip, so one unit does both jobs on the door. That's the trade against a one-piece dummy or a plain entry lever, which secures nothing on its own. The deadbolt ships with a high grade steel strike.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho is offered in full dummy set with lever functions in both LH Dummy and RH Dummy alongside its keyed configurations, so the dummy is available under the same model. If you are cross-shopping, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever is a Dummy function unit with lever trim covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob is a Dummy unit with knob trim over the same range. Emtek also lists dummy mortise entrance handlesets across four styles: the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan, all in brass.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho is a keyed Entry handleset offered in single cylinder and double cylinder configurations in both left and right hand. To move that opening to keyless, the peers that combine an electronic deadbolt with a handleset are the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset, the BYRD226CBARX with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the BYRD256 CBARX key free touchscreen connected by August, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever interior trim, which uses a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with RCAL latch and RCS strike and lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Note the Yale units use the Ridgefield handleset trim rather than a lever.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho is a solid forged brass two-point handleset in the Estate Series, meaning the grip and the deadbolt operate as one assembly. If you want a solid brass entry handleset without the two-point arrangement, Deltana lists four Entry-function solid brass handlesets by series: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston are all described as Entry solid brass, and the 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same thickness span the 85385 handles.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho pairs its handleset with the 5485V Soho lever, which has a 5-3/4 inch grip length. Other lever-trim handlesets in the same class are the Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever, the Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente with Halifax lever interior trim, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest uses a Hudson knob, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale uses an Eleganti knob, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont uses an Impresa knob, so those three are knob trim.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho is a keyed Entry handleset in single and double cylinder configurations. The Kwikset peers are built around SmartKey rekeying: the 687AMD SMT Amador and 687BW SMT Belleview are single cylinder handlesets with SmartKey supplied exterior only, the 687AMD SMC version carries an SC1 keyway with SmartKey, and the 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente uses SmartKey with its SmartCode electronic deadbolt. If your keying program depends on owner rekeying at the door, those Kwikset units are the ones that carry it, and the 687AMD SMC is the one that states an SC1 keyway.

The Baldwin 85385 Soho requires additional door prep; a standard 5-1/2 inch center to center prep works only with an additional bore hole. Where you are retrofitting an existing prep without drilling, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 F Series entrance unit for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset is an Entry unit over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. Both are conventional single cylinder handlesets rather than two-point assemblies, so confirm the existing hole pattern against the manufacturer template before ordering.

The Soho 5485V lever has a 5-3/4 inch grip length, which is a long lever by residential standards and gives you plenty of purchase with a forearm or an elbow when your hands are full. Combined with the 2-17/32 inch projection off the door face, there's real clearance behind the lever.
