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

It interconnects the deadbolt and the latch so one motion of the interior lever or knob pulls both back at once. Nobody inside has to find the thumbturn first and then the handle, which is the point of an interconnected egress lock on a bedroom-level or rental exterior door. From outside, the deadbolt still works off the key only. The egress hardware lives in the interior rose, which is why the rose choice on this set is either RAE rustic arched or SBE square bevel, both egress roses.

The lever versions do. Both the ARC arch lever and the TAP taper lever are ordered as a specific left hand or right hand part, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side you stand on before you buy. The RUS rustic knob is not handed, so if you are not sure of the swing, the knob trim takes that decision off the table.

Yes, within Baldwin's C keyway. The Longview runs a 5-pin C-keyway cylinder as standard, so it keys with other Baldwin C-keyway hardware. On the order you choose keyed alike or keyed different, and there is a key code field if you already have a code you need matched to an existing set. If your existing locks are on a Kwikset SmartKey or Schlage SC1 keyway, this won't join that system.

It works on either of the two standard residential backsets, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so it drops onto most existing prepped doors without moving the cross bore. The edge bore is 1 inch. If your door was bored for a 1 inch edge bore at one of those two backsets, the prep is already there.

The Baldwin Reserve Longview carries an emergency egress function that uses an interconnected lock to retract the deadbolt and door latch simultaneously. Among comparable interconnected hardware, the Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The difference that decides the opening: the JI18/19 pairs its keyed deadbolt with a passage function lever, so the lever never locks, while the Longview is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with a keyed exterior grip and an interior thumbturn.

The Yale Real Living Assure line pairs a touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset: the BYRD226CBARX is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt, the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone version with no network connection, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key free Wi-Fi touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August. All three fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Reserve Longview is mechanical: a keyed C-Keyway cylinder outside, thumbturn inside, and an emergency egress interconnect that retracts the deadbolt and latch together. Note the BYRD256 CBARX uses a passage handleset, so the grip does not latch on its own.

Both sides ship together. You get the exterior handleset with the keyed cylinder and the interior trim with the thumbturn, so it is a complete entrance set out of one box. That is worth noting against something like the Kwikset 687 Amador or 687 Belleview handlesets, which are sold as the exterior half only and need interior trim ordered alongside.

You can. Interior trim ships in the same finish as the exterior by default, in either 481 dark bronze or 492 white bronze. If you want the inside to match interior hardware rather than the exterior, there is a split finish field on the order where you write the two finishes you want. Useful when the street side is dark bronze to match the exterior package and the inside needs to follow the rest of the house.

It is a residential handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. That covers apartment and single-family front doors and light multi-family use. For an opening that has to carry a genuine commercial spec, a bored residential handleset is the wrong family of product regardless of the grade claim, and a mortise or cylindrical lockset in the Grade 1 range is what belongs on the drawing.

The Longview is a straight mechanical set: key outside, thumbturn inside, no power, no batteries, nothing to fail on a dead cell. It adds the interconnected egress so one interior motion opens the door. If you want code or phone entry on the same style of opening, ZenSupply carries the Yale Real Living Assure BYRD226NRRX standalone touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset, and the BYRD226CBARX which adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Both of those fit 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. For a rental where you rotate tenants and would rather not rekey, the electronic route is the better fit; for a door you want to work in twenty years, the mechanical set is.

You can run the same set across a group of units, but plan the handing per door. The lever trims (ARC arch and TAP taper) are handed left or right, so a mixed-swing building means two part numbers on the order. The RUS rustic knob avoids that entirely and gives you one line item for every unit. Finishes stay consistent at 481 dark bronze or 492 white bronze, and keyed alike is available if you want a single management key across the group.

The Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador, 687AMD SMC Amador, and 687BW SMT Belleview are all single cylinder keyed entry handlesets, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and all three are exterior only. They read as full handleset substitutes in a search result but do not include interior trim, so a complete opening needs interior hardware ordered alongside. The Baldwin Reserve Longview is supplied with both the exterior handleset and the interior trim, with the interior lever or knob chosen at order as an arch lever, taper lever, or rustic knob.

No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are all dummy function, meaning a fixed pull with no latch and no cylinder. They suit an inactive leaf of a pair or a decorative opening. The Baldwin Reserve Longview is an entry function single cylinder keyed handleset with a keyed exterior cylinder and interior thumbturn, so an Emtek dummy is not a substitute on a door that has to lock.

Three sit in the same function class. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest with Hudson knob is single cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch in the Premiere Essentials series. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series with an entrance function. The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in satin nickel for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Reserve Longview matches on single cylinder entry function and adds the emergency egress interconnect plus the Baldwin C-Keyway; it also lets you choose the interior trim style and rose separately, in dark bronze or white bronze.

On a double door or a sidelite arrangement the inactive leaf usually takes a dummy handleset that matches visually but has no cylinder or latch. ZenSupply carries dummy handlesets from Emtek in the Memphis 3002, Hamilton 3004, Melrose 3005 and Manhattan 3006 mortise entrance styles, and from Weslock in the 6695 Belmont and 2815 Hillcrest. Those will not match Baldwin Reserve Longview trim exactly, so if the two leaves are side by side and finish match matters, order the dummy from Baldwin's own Reserve range rather than mixing brands.

Deltana offers three solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function. The Deltana 810871 Montego is the same handleset family and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Reserve Longview is a rustic design in the Reserve Series, offered in dark bronze and white bronze with a rustic knob, arch lever, or taper lever interior and a rustic arched or square bevel egress rose, so the visual direction is different even though both are entry handlesets.

Dummy handlesets are the fixed, non-latching halves used on an inactive leaf. The Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch in the Elegance Series, and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range in the Premiere Essentials Series. The Baldwin Reserve Longview itself is a keyed single cylinder set for the active leaf; a dummy has no cylinder and no latch, so it cannot be used where the door has to lock.
