Baldwin SCADIXRUSRAR481 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Adirondack handleset work with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Both. The Adirondack entry handleset is set up for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops onto either of the two backsets used on residential doors without a different part number. The edge bore is 1 inch, which is the standard deadbolt latch bore, so an existing prepped door usually takes it as-is.
2) Do I have to order the Adirondack handleset left or right handed?
Handing only matters on the interior trim. The arch lever and taper lever are each ordered left handed or right handed, so you need to know which way the door swings before picking the inside trim. The rustic knob has no handing at all, so if you would rather not think about it, order the RUS knob.
3) Can I key several Baldwin Reserve handlesets alike so one key opens all my doors?
Yes. Keyed alike or keyed different is chosen at order time, and there is a key code field if you are matching an existing Baldwin cylinder in the building. The cylinder is a Baldwin 5 pin C keyway as standard, so it keys into an existing C keyway system. If you are adding to a property already on Baldwin C, give the code and the new sets come cut to it.
4) I want keypad or app entry on the front door instead of a key. What handleset does that?
Several. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same handleset with no network connection. The BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free Wi-Fi touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim. All three fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. On the Kwikset side, the 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset with Halifax lever interior trim carries a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt with RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Adirondack is mechanical, keyed on a Baldwin 5-pin C-Keyway, which is what you want if the door has to work on the same key system as the rest of the property.
5) What looks like a substitute for a single cylinder entry handleset but will not lock the door?
Dummy handlesets. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are all dummy function, as are the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever and the Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob. Dummy sets are surface-mounted trim with no cylinder and no latch. The Baldwin Reserve Adirondack is a keyed entry set with a single cylinder: key on the exterior, thumbturn on the interior, both operating the deadbolt. Dummy sets are the right choice only on an inactive or fixed leaf of a double door, where they are often paired with a keyed set on the active leaf.
6) Is there a simpler keyed entry handleset than the Baldwin Adirondack for a rental unit?
Yes. The Kwikset 687AMD SMT Amador single cylinder handleset is a Grade 3 keyed entrance handleset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 687BW SMT Belleview is the same Grade 3 entrance handleset in a different trim style. Both are exterior-only sets, so you specify the interior trim separately, where the Baldwin Adirondack ships as a complete entrance solution with interior and exterior together and lets you choose the inside knob or lever and rose style as part of the order. For a Grade 2 alternative, the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is a Grade 2 entrance set.
7) What single cylinder handleset works on a 1-3/8 inch door, which the Adirondack does not cover?
The Adirondack starts at 1-3/4 inch. For a thinner door, the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel is an entry function set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it spans both the thin door and the standard 1-3/4 inch opening if you are buying one set for a mixed group of doors.
8) If I standardize a building on one key, which of these handlesets can be keyed alike?
The Baldwin Reserve Adirondack uses a Baldwin 5-pin C-Keyway and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed different, with a key code specified on the order, so a run of doors comes keyed to one key from the factory. Among the alternatives, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador single cylinder handleset is built on the SC1 keyway with SmartKey, a different key system, so it will not key alike with the Baldwin C-Keyway. Pick one keyway for the whole property before ordering rather than mixing the two.
9) What does single cylinder mean on a Baldwin entry handleset, and should I get one for a door with glass?
Single cylinder means key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside. That is the right choice for a solid door. If you have glass in or beside the door within arm's reach of the thumbturn, a single cylinder is the one people worry about, since breaking the glass gets you to the turn. A double cylinder (key both sides) removes that, at the cost of needing a key to get out.
10) What finishes and rose shapes does the Adirondack rustic handleset come in?
Two finishes, 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze, and two rustic rose shapes, the RAR arch rose and the RSR square rose. Every combination of those with any of the interior trims is buildable. If you want a different finish inside than out, that is a split finish and you state the two finishes on the order; otherwise the interior arrives matching the exterior.
11) Is the Baldwin Reserve Adirondack handleset rated for a commercial entrance?
It is a residential handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. That is fine for apartment and single family entry doors. For a commercial opening with real traffic and code requirements, you want a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock instead, not a residential handleset.
12) Does the Adirondack handleset include the interior trim, or do I buy that separately?
Interior and exterior both come in the box, so it is a complete entrance set. What you choose is which inside trim: the ARC arch lever, the TAP taper lever, or the RUS rustic knob, and which rose it sits on. Levers are handed, the knob is not.
13) What is the difference between a keyed entry handleset and a non-keyed one like the Schlage JE285?
The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the exterior grip latches the door but takes no key. The Baldwin Reserve Adirondack is a single cylinder keyed entry set: the exterior takes a key and the interior a thumbturn, both throwing the deadbolt. Use a non-keyed handleset where a separate deadbolt already handles security or where the opening is a secondary door; use the keyed Adirondack where the handleset itself has to secure the opening.
14) Which solid brass handlesets compare to the Baldwin Reserve Adirondack for a rustic or traditional entry?
Deltana offers four solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston are all entry function solid brass, and the 810871 Montego handleset fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Each is a distinct series with its own grip profile. The Baldwin Reserve Adirondack is a rustic design and is ordered in 481 Dark Bronze or 492 White Bronze, with a Rustic Arch Rose or Rustic Square Rose and a rustic knob, arch lever, or taper lever inside.
15) Can I use the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock in place of a single cylinder handleset?
They solve different openings. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is passage function at the lever with the deadbolt keyed separately. The Baldwin Reserve Adirondack is a handleset with a gripped exterior and a single cylinder deadbolt keyed outside and thumbturned inside. Choose the interconnected lever set where a lever is required at the exterior; choose the Adirondack where the entry calls for a full-height grip handle.
16) I am matching the Adirondack to other doors in the same house. Can the inside handle differ from the outside?
Yes. By default the interior arrives in the same finish as the exterior. If you want, say, dark bronze outside to match the exterior hardware and white bronze inside to match interior trim, state both finishes as a split finish on the order. Same rule applies across a run of doors: mix trim styles per door and hold one exterior finish for the elevation.
