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

Both. The Santa Cruz is supplied to work at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops onto standard residential prep without moving the cross bore. The edge bore is 1 inch, which is the usual door edge prep for a tubular latch, so an existing bored door normally takes it as-is.

The deadbolt and the latch are interconnected. One motion on the interior trim pulls both back at once, so someone leaving in a hurry doesn't have to turn the thumbturn and then the knob. From outside, the deadbolt is still key-operated only. It's the same feature Schlage sells as its interconnected JI Series, if you have been comparing the two.

It ships on Baldwin's 5-pin C keyway, so it keys into any other Baldwin C-keyway cylinder. Keyed alike or keyed different is chosen when you order, and you can supply a key code to have it cut to an existing system. If your other doors are on a Kwikset SC1 or SmartKey cylinder, it won't match without re-cylindering.

Interior trim is included. You pick the inside style when you order: contemporary knob, square lever, or tube lever, all on the contemporary square rose. It's a complete entrance set, exterior plate and interior trim in one order, unlike the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview handlesets, which are supplied exterior only.

Several handlesets that photograph almost identically to a keyed entry set are dummy function, meaning they are a pull with no latch and no cylinder. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose, and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are all dummy function. So are the Weslock 6695 Belmont dummy handleset with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest dummy handleset with New Heaven lever. The Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with a key outside and a thumbturn inside. Dummy sets belong on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors; they cannot secure an active entrance.

The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected lock pairs a passage lever with a keyed deadbolt on a Grade 2, JI Series chassis with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. Its interconnected design is the same idea as the Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz emergency egress feature, which retracts the deadbolt and door latch simultaneously. The distinction is at the outside: the Santa Cruz is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with a C-Keyway cylinder and a gripped exterior handle, while the JI18/19 is a passage function lever with the key confined to the deadbolt. For a multi-family or rental door where the code official wants single-motion egress but the exterior does not need a handleset grip, the JI18/19 covers the requirement.

No, and the reason is what is in the box. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset in both the SmartKey version and the SC1 keyway SmartKey version is an exterior-only entrance handleset, Grade 3, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz includes both the exterior handleset and the interior trim, with a choice of contemporary knob, square lever, or tube lever on a contemporary square rose, for a complete entrance. Ordering the Amador against a Santa Cruz leaves the inside of the door bare unless interior trim is sourced separately. The keying differs as well: the Amador uses SmartKey and the Santa Cruz uses the Baldwin 5-pin C-Keyway.

The Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Among the comparable handlesets, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison, the JE285 Barcelona, the JI18/19 interconnected lock, and the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D are Grade 2, while the Kwikset 687AMD Amador and 687BW Belleview exterior-only handlesets are Grade 3. For an institutional or multi-family standardization program where a Grade 2 minimum is written into the specification, the Baldwin, Schlage, and Master Lock sets meet it and the Kwikset 687 series sits a grade below.

No. The Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz uses the Baldwin 5-pin C-Keyway. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador is offered in a SmartKey version and in an SC1 keyway SmartKey version, and the 687BW Belleview handleset is SmartKey as well, all of which are a different keyway family. Sets on different keyways cannot share a key. To key alike across an entrance, keep every opening on the Baldwin C-Keyway and specify keyed alike with the keying code at order; mixing in a SmartKey handleset means carrying two keys.

Six: satin brass PVD (044), polished nickel PVD (055), Venetian bronze (112), satin nickel (150), satin black (190), and polished chrome (260). Interior trim ships in the same finish as the exterior by default. If you want a different finish inside than out, that split finish is specified on the order.

It's a residential handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. For an apartment or condo unit entry door that's normally fine, but it isn't a commercial-duty lockset and shouldn't be specified where a job calls for a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock on a common-area or fire door.

Yes, keyed alike is one of the two keying choices on the order, and you can hand over a key code to have them cut into an existing C-keyway system. Ordering several sets keyed alike means one key runs every unit door you fit them to. Split them into keyed-different groups by building or by tenant if that suits the property better.

On a door that is secured by a separate deadbolt or that never locks, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function set, Grade 2, J Series, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest handleset with Hudson knob is the keyed counterpart in that space, listed as single cylinder with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz is keyed single cylinder with the emergency egress interconnect, so it is the one to specify when the handleset itself must both lock the door and release it in a single motion.

The Yale Real Living Assure line pairs a Ridgefield handleset with an electronic deadbolt in several connectivity levels: the BYRD226CBARX is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the BYRD226NRRX is standalone with no radio, and the BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free Wi-Fi touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim. The 226 sets list a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey, RCAL latch and RCS strike, on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz is fully mechanical, keyed on a C-Keyway with a thumbturn inside, so it needs no batteries and no network, and it carries the emergency egress interconnect the electronic sets do not.

Two straightforward keyed options sit alongside it. The Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset in the HDLB Series with an entrance function, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel is an entry function set with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. Both give the key-outside, single cylinder arrangement that the Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz provides. What the Santa Cruz adds is the emergency egress interconnect that retracts deadbolt and latch in one motion, plus the Baldwin C-Keyway and a choice of six finishes with three interior trim styles for matching across a building.

The Baldwin Reserve Santa Cruz is a contemporary design, offered with a contemporary knob, square lever, or tube lever on a contemporary square rose. For a traditional entrance, the Deltana solid brass entry handlesets cover the same single-door keyed application in period styling: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston are all entry function solid brass handlesets, and the 810871 Montego handleset lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The functional trade is the Santa Cruz emergency egress interconnect, which retracts the deadbolt and latch together and is not part of the Deltana handleset series.

Contemporary. The interior rose is a contemporary square, and the trim choices are a contemporary knob or one of two square-edged levers. If the rest of the house is on traditional colonial trim, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob or the Deltana 803871B Hanover solid brass entry handleset are the traditional-profile options.
