Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Interior Trim and Emergency Egress Function

The Elkhorn works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard residential backsets, so an existing prepped door almost always takes it. The edge bore is 1 inch. If your door is already bored for a standard entry lock and deadbolt with a 1 inch edge bore, the prep matches.

Handing matters on the lever trims. The Arch lever (ARC) and the Taper lever (TAP) are each ordered as left handed or right handed, so you need to know which way the door swings before you commit. The Rustic knob (RUS) has no handing to specify. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door.

One motion on the interior lever or knob pulls the deadbolt and the latch back together, so somebody leaving the house in a hurry does not have to find and turn the thumbturn first. That is the interconnected part of the lock. It matters for a main entry where a code official or an insurer wants single-motion egress, and it is why the interior roses on this one are the egress-specific RAE and SBE trims.

Yes. It ships on Baldwin's 5-pin C keyway, so it keys alike with other Baldwin C keyway cylinders. You pick keyed alike or keyed different when you order, and there is a field to give a key code if you are matching an existing Baldwin system. For a property with several exterior doors, order them all keyed alike in one go.

Several handlesets in the same silhouette are dummy or non-keyed units and carry no cylinder. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are all dummy function. The Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob are dummy handlesets for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry handleset. The Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn is keyed, single cylinder, with a key outside and a thumbturn inside, so specify by function and not by appearance when the door has to lock.

The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is the interconnected peer, Grade 2, in the JI Series, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, with a passage function inside trim and a separately keyed deadbolt. The Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn carries the emergency egress function on a single cylinder keyed entry handleset, retracting the deadbolt and the door latch at the same time, with the interior supplied as an arch lever, taper lever, or rustic knob on a rustic arched or square bevel egress rose.

No. The Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn uses the Baldwin 5-pin C-Keyway, and it can be ordered keyed alike across an order or keyed to an existing code. The Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador handleset carries an SC1 keyway, and the 687AMD SMT and 687BW Belleview Amador and Belleview handlesets use SmartKey. A C-Keyway cylinder will not accept a key cut for those keyways, so a building standardizing on one key should either move the whole opening set to Baldwin C-Keyway or stay on the existing keyway family.

Single cylinder. Key outside, thumbturn inside. That is the right choice for a solid door, and the wrong one if you have glass within reach of the interior thumbturn, where a double cylinder is normally specified instead.

It is a residential product, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. That covers a house or a condo entry door well. For a commercial opening that has to carry a stated grade on the door schedule, this is not the one to spec.

Both sides come in the box: exterior handleset plus the interior lever or knob and rose. You choose the interior style (Arch lever, Taper lever, or Rustic knob) and the egress rose (RAE rustic arched or SBE square bevel) as part of the order. Interior comes in the same finish as the exterior by default; if you want a different finish inside, enter the two finishes in the split finish field.

No. The Elkhorn ships as a complete set, exterior and interior together, so you would be paying for trim you already have. For an exterior-only replacement, the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview single cylinder handlesets are sold exterior only and fit 1-3/4 inch doors at Grade 3.

The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel is an entry function unit for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series with an entrance function. Both are keyed single cylinder entrances without the interconnected egress action. The Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn adds the emergency egress interconnect, keying to the Baldwin C-Keyway, and finish and interior trim choices across dark bronze and white bronze with arch lever, taper lever, or rustic knob interiors, which matters when a portfolio is being standardized on one key system and one look.

The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same pairing for the same thickness range. The BYRD256 CBARX is key-free with a Ridgefield passage handleset and trim. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever pairs a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with an RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors, in the Signature Series. All of these move the locking to the deadbolt module; the Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn keeps a mechanical C-Keyway cylinder and retracts both deadbolt and latch from the interior trim in one motion.

They are, on function. The Deltana 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann, and 825871 Kingston are all solid brass handlesets in an entry function, and the 810871 Montego covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn is an entry function handleset as well, single cylinder and keyed to the Baldwin C-Keyway, with a rustic design and an interior trim that performs the emergency egress retraction. The Deltana units are the route when the design direction is a traditional brass profile rather than a rustic one.

The Baldwin Reserve Elkhorn takes a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch edge bore, so it drops into either standard bore without a different part number. Among the comparable single cylinder handlesets, the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob in the Premiere Essentials series is a single cylinder unit for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder unit for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

Two: 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze. Both are available with any of the interior trims (Arch lever, Taper lever, Rustic knob) and either egress rose, so the finish choice does not limit your trim choice. The design is rustic, so these pair with timber and iron entry doors rather than a contemporary opening.
