Baldwin 6945050ENTR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills trim include the mortise lock body, or is it trim only?
It is decorative trim only. The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills knob-by-knob set is the escutcheon and knob trim for a mortise application, and the full mortise specification requires multiple components beyond this trim. You will need the mortise lock body, cylinder, and strike specified separately, plus the custom door preparation a mortise opening requires.
2) Do I need to specify handing for the Baldwin Estate 6945 entry trim?
No. The 6945 Hollywood Hills trim is reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. Handing on a mortise installation is set by the lock body and the door prep, not by this trim.
3) What keyway does the Baldwin Estate 6945 use, and can I key it to match my other Baldwin doors?
It is built around Baldwin's C keyway in a single cylinder entry function, meaning key outside and a thumbturn or knob release inside. Keyed alike and keyed different are both offered, so a homeowner or property manager putting several of these on one house can have them operate on one key as long as the other cylinders share the C keyway.
4) Should I use a mortise handleset like the Baldwin 6945 or a tubular handleset?
Mortise is the right call when the door is already prepped with a mortise pocket, or when you are specifying a new high-end entry and want the lock body, latch, and deadbolt working as one case. It needs custom door preparation and several coordinated components. If the door has a standard bored prep, a tubular handleset is far less work: the Sure-Loc Alta tubular handleset with adjustable backset or the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever (Grade 2, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors) drop into ordinary bores.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills trim if the door is bored for a tubular handleset instead of mortised?
The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is mortise trim - the door strike is mortise, so it needs a mortise body and custom door prep. If the door is prepped for a tubular handleset, the Sure-Loc Alta AT507 is a tubular handleset with adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 and Coral CR507 are keyed entry handlesets with adjustable backset. Those install to standard bored prep and do not need a mortise pocket.
6) What is a comparable single cylinder keyed entry handleset to the Baldwin 6945 Hollywood Hills from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is a single cylinder entry set with a knob by knob configuration on a C-keyway cylinder. Comparable single cylinder keyed entry sets include the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever. The Weslock 1411 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and the Weslock 2810 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, while the Baldwin 6945 trim is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) Which handlesets carry an ANSI grade if the Baldwin 6945 Hollywood Hills is being specified for a rental or multi-family door?
The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is a residential product. Where a graded entry set is wanted instead, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2, the Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687 Amador and 687 Belleview exterior-only handlesets are Grade 3. The Schlage F60 and the Kwikset 687 sets are all entrance function.
8) Are the Emtek 3000 series mortise handlesets a substitute for the Baldwin 6945 Hollywood Hills entry trim?
They are not a functional substitute. The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is entry function with a single cylinder and a keyed C-keyway. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are dummy function - no cylinder and no latching - so they suit an inactive leaf or a matching second door, not a keyed opening. Baldwin's own full dummy version of the design is the correct match if a dummy is what the opening needs.
9) What size is the Baldwin 6945 escutcheon plate, and will it cover my existing door prep?
Each plate measures 2-7/16 by 11-3/4 inches. That is a tall, narrow escutcheon, so it will conceal a vertical run of prep but very little side to side. If you are replacing a wider plate or a bored handleset with a large rose footprint, expect exposed hole or finish shadow on the door face.
10) Can I change the knobs on the Baldwin Estate 6945, or use the escutcheon for a passage or dummy door?
Yes on both counts. The 6945 ships knob by knob with the K008 knob, and Baldwin lets you substitute any knob or lever from the Estate range. The same escutcheon plate can be used to build passage, privacy, or dummy sets, which is how you match the look across an entry, a back door, and an interior door without repeating the keyed function everywhere.
11) Is the Baldwin Estate 6945 suitable for a commercial opening?
No. It is classified residential, and it is decorative mortise trim rather than a rated commercial lockset. For a light commercial or multi-family entry where you want a stated grade, look at graded residential handlesets such as the Schlage F60 Addison (Grade 2) or the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset (Grade 2).
12) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Baldwin 6945 work, or is there a better option?
The 6945 is specified at 1-3/4 inches, though Baldwin offers longer spindles and mounting hardware for thicker doors. If you would rather buy a handleset that states the thicker range outright, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale with Eleganti knob covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
13) Does the Baldwin Estate 6945 come in a double cylinder or dummy version?
The Hollywood Hills trim is offered in standard entry, double cylinder, full dummy, and exterior only, and as individual escutcheons cut for cylinder, cut for emergency release, cut for knob, or cut for turn knob. The 6945 knob-by-knob configuration is the single cylinder entry version, so a keyed-both-sides opening needs the double cylinder variant ordered instead.
14) What should I use instead of the Baldwin 6945 Hollywood Hills on a door thinner or thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills trim is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door, though Baldwin notes thin and thick doors can be accommodated with alternative length spindles and mounting hardware. If a single-part solution across a thickness range is preferred, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
15) If we want keyless or electronic entry on the same door rather than the keyed Baldwin 6945, what handlesets do that?
The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is a keyed single cylinder mechanical trim on a C-keyway. For electronic access on a handleset door, the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX pairs a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset, the BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the BYRD256 CBARX is key free with Wi-Fi and a Ridgefield passage handleset. All three list a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a handleset with a contemporary SmartCode keypad deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) We want the Hollywood Hills look but the door only needs passage, not a keyed lock. What are the options?
The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills trim can be configured for passage, privacy or dummy by using the escutcheon plate with a knob or lever of choice, so the same design can carry a non-keyed door. If a complete non-keyed set from another brand is preferred, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function Grade 2 handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are dummy handlesets.
17) What solid brass entry handlesets compare with the Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills?
The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is Estate Series trim offered in 050 Satin Brass Black and 112 Venetian Bronze. In solid brass entry handlesets from another line, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function solid brass. The Deltana sets are complete handlesets, while the Baldwin 6945 is decorative mortise trim that pairs with a mortise lock body.
18) Is a Kwikset 687 Amador exterior-only handleset an equivalent to the Baldwin 6945 Hollywood Hills?
They cover different scopes. The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is a knob by knob set, meaning trim on both the exterior and interior face. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview are Grade 3 entrance handlesets supplied exterior only, so interior trim is ordered separately. The Kwikset 687AMD SMC uses the SC1 keyway with SmartKey, while the Baldwin 6945 is a C-keyway cylinder, so the two will not key alike to one another.
19) I want a matching front door and back door but only one keyed. What do I order alongside the 6945?
Use the same Hollywood Hills escutcheon in a non-keyed build. Baldwin offers the plate cut for knob and cut for turn knob, plus a full dummy version, so the second door carries the identical 2-7/16 by 11-3/4 inch plate and K008 knob without a cylinder. That keeps the elevation consistent while only the entry door takes a C keyway cylinder.
20) What are the closest mortise-style handleset alternatives to the Baldwin Estate 6945?
Within mortise, Emtek's brass mortise entrance handlesets cover several styles, including the 3006 Manhattan, 3005 Melrose, 3004 Hamilton, and 3002 Memphis, though those are listed in dummy function rather than keyed entry. For solid brass entry handlesets in a traditional look, Deltana's Hanover 803871B, St. Ann 815871, and Kingston 825871 are all entry function.
21) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock an alternative to the Baldwin 6945 Hollywood Hills entry trim?
Only for a different door condition. The Baldwin Estate 6945 Hollywood Hills is entry function mortise trim on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is a Grade 2 interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, where the lever retracts latch and deadbolt together in one motion - a common choice on apartment entry doors. The Baldwin 6945 uses a separate knob and single cylinder arrangement on a mortise body.
