Baldwin ENSQUCFR260 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin Reserve keyed entry leverset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The Reserve keyed entry leverset installs in the 2.125 inch standard door preparation, with a 1 inch edge bore for the latch. It is offered in both common backsets, 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into either the residential or the deeper commercial-style bore spacing without redrilling the face.
2) Is the Baldwin Reserve entry leverset rated for a commercial opening or an apartment corridor?
It is a residential-duty lockset. For an exterior entrance on a house, a side door, or a unit door in light traffic it is the right kind of part, but for a commercial corridor or a high-cycle institutional opening you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever instead, such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever or the Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 entry/office lever.
3) I have a door bored at 2-3/4 inch backset already. Can I use a Baldwin Reserve entry lever without redrilling?
Yes, 2-3/4 inch is one of the two backsets offered, alongside 2-3/8 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore and order to match. The latch goes into a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard tubular latch hole, so an existing bored door usually takes it as-is.
4) What keyed entry lever uses a Schlage C keyway instead of the Baldwin C-Keyway?
The Baldwin Reserve Square keyed entry leverset is supplied with a C-Keyway pin and tumbler cylinder, which is Baldwin's own keyway. If the building is already keyed to Schlage C, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/8 inch backset, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. That lets the new opening go onto the existing Schlage C master key rather than a second key system.
5) I need the same Reserve Square lever look on an interior door that should not lock. What do I order instead?
The Baldwin Reserve Square leverset is a keyed single cylinder entry lock, so it is the wrong function for a hall or closet door. For a non-locking interior opening, the Bravura Tampa with square trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset that keeps the square rose profile, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta from the 5300 Series is a Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical lever. Both operate the latch from either side with no cylinder.
6) Will an Emtek or Accentra dummy lever work as a substitute for the Baldwin Reserve Square keyed entry lever?
No, and it is a common mix-up because the trim looks the same. The Baldwin Reserve Square is a keyed entry leverset with a working latch through the 2-1/8 inch standard door prep and a 1 inch edge bore. Dummy trim has no latch and no cylinder at all; it is surface mounted and only serves as a pull. The Emtek Athena and Helios cast stainless steel dummy pairs, the Emtek Arts & Crafts and Hammered dummy pairs, the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim are all dummy function. Use them on inactive leaves or closet doors, not on a door that must latch.
7) Can I get Baldwin Reserve levers keyed alike across several doors in the same house or unit?
Yes. Keyed alike is a selectable option, so a run of entry doors can be ordered to operate on one key. Because they are all C-keyway pin and tumbler, they will also key alike with other Baldwin Reserve entry knobs and levers on the same system. If you have an existing key you want them cut to, enter the key code in the optional key code field.
8) What is the difference between the single cylinder keyed entry Baldwin Reserve lever and a passage or dummy lever?
Single cylinder means key on the outside and a thumbturn or button on the inside, so the door locks and unlocks from the outside with a key. That is what you want on anything you are securing. If the door only needs to latch, an unkeyed passage lever like the Bravura Tampa square-trim passage leverset is the equivalent style without a cylinder, and if the door is a false or inactive leaf, a dummy lever such as the Callan Bentley is the part.
9) What rose shapes and finishes does the Baldwin Reserve Square lever come in?
Three contemporary rose choices: the Contemporary Square Rose, the Contemporary Round Rose, and the Contemporary Five Inch Rose (the tall rectangular plate). Each of the three is offered in all six finishes, 044 Satin Brass PVD, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 112 Venetian Bronze, 150 Satin Nickel, 190 Satin Black, and 260 Polished Chrome. If you are matching two sides of a door to different rooms, there are split rose and split finish fields on the order to specify each side separately.
10) What keyed entry lever is the equivalent of the Baldwin Reserve Square for a commercial building on a Grade 2 spec?
The Baldwin Reserve Square is a residential single cylinder keyed entry lever with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Where the drawing calls for Grade 2 commercial entry, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office cylindrical lever, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
11) Is a Baldwin Reserve Square lever the right choice for a bedroom or bathroom door?
No. The Baldwin Reserve Square leverset is a keyed entry lock with a single cylinder, meant for entrances and side doors. A bed or bath door wants privacy function, which locks with a thumbturn inside and releases with an emergency tool outside. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lever for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, and the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
12) What is the difference between the Baldwin Reserve Square entry lever and a storeroom lever?
They lock differently. The Baldwin Reserve Square is entry function with a single cylinder, so the inside lever always retracts the latch and the outside lever can be unlocked for free passage. A storeroom lever keeps the outside lever locked at all times and opens only by key. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom lock for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Storeroom is the usual pick for mechanical rooms and supply closets that must never be left unlocked.
13) Which entry lever should I use on a classroom door instead of the Baldwin Reserve Square?
A classroom opening needs classroom function, where the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key from the corridor side and the inside lever always exits. The Baldwin Reserve Square is entry function, which is a different sequence. The Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 classroom cylindrical lever is keyed with a clutching lever for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, the Dexter C1000 classroom security version adds a second keyed side, and the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/4 inch backset.
14) What is a lower cost keyed entry lever alternative to the Baldwin Reserve Square for a rental unit?
The Baldwin Reserve Square is a residential keyed entry leverset in the Reserve Series with a C-Keyway cylinder. For rental turns where the Reserve trim is not required, the Master Lock BC Series return style lever is a Grade 3 keyed entry lockset, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a lever and deadbolt combo for openings that need auxiliary bolt security.
15) Can I put a Baldwin Reserve Square lever on a door where the tenants should not carry keys?
The Baldwin Reserve Square is a keyed lock and opens with a C-Keyway pin and tumbler cylinder only. Where you want code entry instead of keys, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. None of these takes the Baldwin key, so an opening switched to one of them comes off the key system.
16) What entry lever holds up better than the Baldwin Reserve Square on a high traffic commercial corridor?
The Baldwin Reserve Square is a residential keyed entry leverset. On a corridor taking constant use, heavy duty cylindrical hardware is the usual answer: the Falcon T101 T Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty lever with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 in the CL3100 Series is a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated lever for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches. All three are passage function, so pair them with a keyed unit where the opening has to lock.
17) Does the Baldwin Reserve Square lever accept a Schlage cylinder the way a Yale lock does with an adapter?
The Baldwin Reserve Square entry lever is built for a C-Keyway pin and tumbler cylinder only, so it is not a candidate for a foreign cylinder swap. The Accentra 107S Schlage cylinder adapter kit is made for Yale hardware and does not apply to Baldwin Reserve trim. If the building standard is Schlage C, pick a lock that natively takes that keyway rather than trying to adapt the Baldwin.
18) Can I mix a square rose on one side and a round rose on the other with a Baldwin Reserve lever?
Yes. There is a split rose field on the order where you specify a different rose for each side of the door, and a split finish field if one side needs to match a different finish scheme, for example polished chrome on a bathroom side and venetian bronze facing the hall.
19) What is the difference between a Baldwin Reserve keyed entry lever and a keypad or keyless lever for an exterior door?
The Reserve entry lever is a mechanical key lock, C-keyway pin and tumbler, matched to a decorative contemporary trim program. If nobody wants to carry a key, a mechanical pushbutton set like the Lockey 2835 or the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever covers doors from about 1-3/16 to 2 inches thick, and the Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock. Those trade the finish and rose choices for code entry.
20) I want the Baldwin Reserve Square security but with a knob instead of a lever. What is comparable?
The Baldwin Reserve Square is a lever handle type in entry function. For a knob on a keyed entrance opening, the Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Note that a knob is not ADA compliant trim, so it is the wrong choice on an accessible route even where it suits the opening otherwise.
