Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim

Trim only. The Tremont 6542 is decorative entrance trim for a mortise application, and a full mortise specification needs several other components besides the trim, including the mortise lock body itself. The door also has to be prepped for mortise rather than bored, so plan the door prep and the rest of the mortise package before ordering.

It is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the standard thickness for most exterior entry doors. Baldwin does offer thin and thick door kits to cover door conditions outside that, so if your slab is thinner or thicker than 1-3/4 inches you need the matching kit rather than the trim alone.

Double cylinder means it is keyed from both the outside and the inside, so there is no thumbturn to reach on the interior. That is the usual choice next to sidelights or glass panels where someone could reach through and turn an interior knob. The trade-off is you need a key to get out, so check your local egress rules for the opening before you spec it. If you want a thumbturn inside instead, Baldwin's standard entry function of the same Tremont trim is the one to order.

Both cylinders are Baldwin C keyway. That means it keys alike with other Baldwin C keyway cylinders, and you can choose Keyed Alike or Keyed Different when you order if you are buying more than one set.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is trim for a full mortise specification, which requires custom door preparation and multiple additional components, and it is listed for a 1-3/4 inch door. If the door is standard bored prep, a Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder keyed entry handleset also lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness and is a Grade 3 entrance handleset; it is offered with SmartKey in the 687AMD SMT version and with an SC1 keyway in the 687AMD SMC version. A Schlage Residential F60 Addison keyed entry handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance product covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both avoid the mortise pocket the Tremont requires.

Both are mortise-application brass handleset trim, but they differ in function. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is a keyed double cylinder entry trim on the C-keyway, so it takes a cylinder on both the exterior and interior side. The Emtek 3002 Memphis mortise entrance handleset is a dummy function, meaning it is surface-applied decorative trim with no latching or keyed operation - it is used on an inactive leaf or a fixed door. If the door needs to lock, the Tremont double cylinder is the functional choice; if you are dressing a non-operating door, the dummy is what that opening calls for.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial single cylinder keyed entry handleset with Eleganti knob lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is a double cylinder entry function, keyed from both sides. Where a single cylinder is preferred, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob are both single cylinder functions, the Sure-Loc Madison and Sure-Loc Aspen are single cylinder keyed entry handlesets with adjustable backset, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in satin nickel covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a non-keyed opening entirely, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry function.

No handing to specify. The Tremont 6542 entrance trim is reversible, so the same part works on a left or right hand door.

Yes. The set comes with the 5020 knob, and Baldwin lets you substitute any of their interior knobs or levers. You can also use the interior escutcheon plate on its own to build passage, privacy, dummy or entry configurations off the same trim, which is how designers keep one look across a run of doors with different functions.

It is classified as residential hardware. For single family, custom home and high end multi-family front doors it is the right category. If you are specifying a commercial opening that needs a graded lock, look at graded handleset options instead, for example the Schlage Residential F60 Addison is listed as Grade 2 and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2.

Use the dummy version of the Tremont trim, which Baldwin offers as Full Dummy alongside Exterior Only and Back to Back. If you are matching another brand, Emtek's brass mortise entrance handlesets in Memphis, Hamilton, Melrose and Manhattan are all listed as dummy function.

Yes, the Tremont escutcheons are sold individually, prepped as Cut for Cylinder, Cut for Emergency Release, Cut for Knob, Cut for Turn Knob or Cut for Privacy. That is the route when you are replacing a damaged plate or building a non-standard function on an existing mortise door.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is keyed on the C-keyway with a double cylinder function, so both sides operate by key. For electronic operation, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD256 CBARX pairs a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim over the same thickness range. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever interior trim combines a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with SmartKey on a 1-3/4 inch door.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont entrance trim is part of the Estates Series with the 5020 knob design and is reversible for either hand. On the decorative solid brass side, Deltana offers the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all solid brass handlesets in entry function, plus the 810871 Montego, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Tremont differs in that it is mortise trim requiring a full mortise door preparation rather than a self-contained handleset.

Not directly. The Sure-Loc Alta is a tubular handleset with adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Coral and Sure-Loc Madison are handlesets with adjustable backset as well - adjustable backset applies to bored and tubular prep, letting one unit fit either standard backset. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont is trim for a mortise application, a door condition that requires custom door preparation and specification with multiple components, so backset adjustability does not transfer. Choose the Sure-Loc units for a bored door and the Tremont where the door is mortised.

Several comparable handlesets are dummy function and do not latch or lock. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan are all brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function, and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever are dummy handlesets covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont, by contrast, is a keyed double cylinder entry function on the C-keyway.

The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont uses the 5020 knob design, though the interior knob or lever can be substituted and the interior escutcheon can be used to build passage, privacy, dummy or entry sets. If you would rather order a complete lever set, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is a Grade 2 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset pairs with a Seville lever. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest carries a New Heaven lever but is dummy function only.
