The 85391 works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which covers both standard residential bores. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing hole. Since it's built for standard pre-bored wood and metal doors, an existing prep in either backset takes it without redrilling the cross bore.

Handing matters here. The Minneapolis 85391 is ordered as left hand or right hand, and every finish is offered both ways. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, it's a left hand door. Get this wrong and the lever and egress function end up on the wrong side.

Emergency egress means the inside lever retracts both the latch and the deadbolt in one motion, so someone can get out without turning the deadbolt separately. That's the reason to pick this over a plain keyed entry set on a main exit door or a rental unit. From outside it still locks and keys normally as an entry function.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis accommodates 1.75 inch doors, with a conversion kit available for 2.0 and 2.25 inch doors. For a 1-3/8 inch door, use a handleset whose stated range starts there: the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Deltana 810871 Montego covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset also covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, with a Hudson knob interior rather than a lever.

No. The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis is a keyed entry handleset. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are dummy function - they are pull trim with no operating latch or cylinder, used on an inactive or fixed leaf. They are commonly specified alongside a keyed opening to match appearance, not to replace one. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are likewise dummy function.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis reaches 2.25 inch doors by way of a conversion kit. If you would rather the range be native to the lock, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder handleset with Eleganti knob states 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset states 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock is key-cylinder mechanical with a knob interior; the Yale is a touchscreen deadbolt paired with a handleset grip.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis is a residential Estate Series handleset. Where a submittal calls for a stated grade, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is Grade 2 entrance function, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is Grade 2, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is Grade 2, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are Grade 3.

Not on its own. The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis is a keyed entry handleset supplied with the 5162 lever interior trim and a high grade steel deadbolt strike. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset, in both the SMT and the SC1 keyway SmartKey versions, is exterior only - it is Grade 3 entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors and requires interior trim to be ordered separately. The 687BW Belleview is the same exterior only arrangement in a different grip style.

The Minneapolis 85391 is a residential handleset from Baldwin's Estate Series. It's forged brass with a steel deadbolt strike, and it holds up well on high-end homes, condo entries, and multi-family unit doors. For a commercial opening that has to meet a hardware schedule, you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 lock instead, such as the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, which is listed Grade 2.

The Minneapolis 85391 is a keyed mechanical set: brass handleset outside, 5162 lever inside, key cylinder, no electronics to power or pair. If you want code or phone access on the same style of opening, the Yale Assure BYRD226NRRX is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente pairs a handleset with a SmartCode keypad deadbolt. Both of those are keypad deadbolt sets rather than an egress-function trim, so check that against your exit door requirement.

The deadbolt strike is included, and it's high grade steel rather than a thin brass plate. That matters on an entry door, since the strike is what the frame relies on under a kick. What is not included is the door prep itself, and on a thicker door you'll also need the Baldwin conversion kit.

Yes. The 85391 mounts in standard pre-bored wood and metal doors, so a factory-prepped steel entry door with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset takes it directly. The door still has to be 1-3/4 inches thick, which is the standard for a commercial-style steel slab.

The Minneapolis 85391 makes sense where the entry door is the front of the building and finish matters, since it's forged brass across fourteen finishes and both handings, so every unit gets the same part number in the same look. Where you're doing volume on interior or secondary entries and appearance matters less, the Schlage F60 Addison with the Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance set covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington covers the same thickness range in entry function.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis is a mechanical keyed entry handleset with a 5162 lever. For electronic access on the same opening, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock combines a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente handleset uses a Contemporary Smartcode keypad electronic deadbolt with Halifax lever interior trim on 1-3/4 inch doors and ships with an RCAL latch and RCS strike.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis is keyed entry function. For an opening that latches but does not lock, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function J Series handleset, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Yale Real Living BYRD256 CBARX pairs a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim with a separate key free touchscreen deadbolt for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, which keeps the grip non-keyed while the locking stays on the deadbolt.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis is a solid forged brass handleset in the Estate Series. Deltana offers several solid brass entry function handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston. The Deltana 810871 Montego is a further handleset in the same family, stated for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. These differ from the 85391 in escutcheon style and grip design rather than in function.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis is a bored handleset with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Where an interconnected trim is wanted instead - lever and deadbolt operating together on one plate - the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is a JI Series interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Its lever is passage function with the locking handled by the deadbolt, so the operation at the door differs from the 85391 keyed entry lever.

The Baldwin 85391 Minneapolis carries the 5162 lever as its interior trim. Among comparable handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison uses an Accent lever, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona uses a Seville lever, and the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente uses Halifax lever interior trim. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial use knob interiors - Hudson and Eleganti respectively - which matters when the specification calls for lever operation throughout the opening.

Fourteen finishes, and each one is available in both handings: polished brass (003), non-lacquered brass (031), vintage brass (033), satin brass (044), satin brass and black (050), polished nickel (055), satin nickel (056), satin brass and brown (060), graphite nickel (076), oil rubbed bronze (102), Venetian bronze (112), satin black (190), polished chrome (260), and distressed oil rubbed bronze (402). If you're matching other Baldwin Estate hardware in a house, order by that number rather than by the finish name.

Lever inside. The 85391 pairs the Minneapolis escutcheon handleset outside with the Baldwin 5162 lever inside, which is what you want where a knob would be a problem for accessibility or for someone carrying things. If you're specifying knob trim to match existing hardware, look at a knob handleset such as the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with the Hudson knob instead.
