On the 85387 Soho handleset, turning the inside lever retracts the latchbolt and the deadbolt at the same time, so someone can get out in one motion without having to throw the deadbolt separately. That is the whole point of the egress function: no second action on the way out, which is what people want on a primary entry door of a house or a unit. From outside it still works as a keyed entry lock.

Handing is required. The 85387 is built as a handed set: single cylinder handleset with lever and emergency egress comes as LH Entry or RH Entry, and the non-locking full dummy set with lever comes as LH Dummy or RH Dummy. Stand outside the door facing it, and the hinge side tells you the hand. Ordering the wrong hand on an egress handleset means the lever and the interconnected retraction will not sit correctly on the door.

Not without help. The 85387 tops out at 2 inches of door thickness. For a true 2-1/4 inch door, a set built for that range is the cleaner path, for example the Weslock 1411 Traditionale single cylinder handleset, which covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, or the Yale Real Living Ridgefield handleset sets at 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches if you want an electronic deadbolt.

The Baldwin 85387 Soho is a single cylinder entry handleset with the 5485V Soho lever and a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The nearest lever-trim entry handlesets from other lines are the Schlage Residential F60 Addison single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Accent lever, a Grade 2 entrance function fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset, an entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both cover thinner doors than the Baldwin's upper 2 inch limit, so on a 2 inch door the Baldwin is the one that fits.

No. The Baldwin 85387 Soho handleset is rated to a maximum door thickness of 2 inch. For a 2-1/4 inch door, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder handleset with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock uses a knob trim rather than a lever, and the Yale is a keypad deadbolt rather than a keyed cylinder.

Only if you already have interior trim. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset, in both the SmartKey 687AMD SMT and SC1 keyway 687AMD SMC versions, is an exterior only Grade 3 entrance trim for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin 85387 Soho ships as a complete single cylinder handleset with the 5485V Soho lever for the inside and an emergency egress function, in left hand and right hand entry versions.

They solve the same problem differently. The Baldwin 85387 Soho retracts the latchbolt and deadbolt at the same time when the inside lever is turned, on a handleset body for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever is a Grade 2 passage function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, giving the same single-motion release through a separate interconnected lock body rather than an escutcheon handleset grip.

The dummy set is trim only. It mounts to the door face with a Soho lever and escutcheon for looks and for pulling the door, with no latch, no cylinder, and no deadbolt, which is what you use on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a fixed French door panel. The entry version is the working lock: single cylinder keyed outside, with the emergency egress lever inside that pulls the latchbolt and deadbolt together. Both are handed, so specify LH or RH either way.

The 85387 Soho handleset is part of the Estate Series and is offered in 14 finishes: 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 11P Venetian bronze, satin black, polished chrome, and distressed oil rubbed bronze. Living finishes like non-lacquered brass and distressed oil rubbed bronze will change appearance over time, so mixing them with a plated finish on the same elevation will not stay matched.

No. The 85387 Soho handleset is a residential product, a bored lockset built for house and unit entry doors. For a commercial opening that needs a graded lock, look at a Grade 2 residential-to-light-commercial handleset such as the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset or the Schlage F Series F60 Addison, or step up to a commercial mortise or cylindrical lockset.

Egress is baked into the 85387 entry function: the inside lever pulls the latch and deadbolt together. If you want a keyed handleset with a lever inside and no interconnected retraction, the Schlage F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry handleset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 815 San Clemente with Halifax lever pairs a handleset with a SmartCode electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door. For a non-keyed lever handleset, the Schlage JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is the passage option.

The Baldwin 85387 Soho is a keyed entry handleset, though it is also built as a full dummy set with lever in left hand and right hand versions for inactive doors. If you want a non-keyed operating handleset instead, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a pure dummy, the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, matching the Baldwin's thickness range.

Not for a keyed opening. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function, as are the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan. They are non-operating trim. The Baldwin 85387 Soho is offered as a single cylinder handleset with lever in emergency egress entry function as well as a full dummy set, so only the Baldwin dummy variants line up with the Emtek pieces.

The Baldwin 85387 Soho is an Estate Series residential handleset with emergency egress that retracts the latchbolt and deadbolt together when the inside lever is turned. If you want a plainer keyed entry handleset for volume work, the Kwikset 687BW Belleview single cylinder handleset with SmartKey is a Grade 3 entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series. Both are knob or grip entry sets without the simultaneous egress retraction.

The Baldwin 85387 Soho is a solid forged brass handleset with a high grade steel deadbolt strike, offered in finishes from polished brass and non-lacquered brass through satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze and satin black. On the solid brass side, the Deltana Hanover 803871B, St. Ann 815871 and Kingston 825871 are all solid brass entry function handlesets, and the Deltana Montego 810871 fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the same range the Baldwin covers. The difference is styling family and trim, not function.

The Soho 5485V lever has a 5-3/4 inch grip length, so there is room to work it with a forearm or an elbow when you are carrying something. A lever also takes less grip strength than a knob, which is why levers get specified on main entries used by older residents. The escutcheon is a 3/4 style plate rather than a full-length one.

Solid forged brass construction on the handleset, and the deadbolt ships with a high grade steel strike, which is where most kick-in force lands. Forged brass rather than cast or tubular stamped parts is why these get used on street-facing doors. It is still a residential lock, so for heavy shared-entry traffic a graded commercial lockset is the better call.
