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

The Del Mar handleset uses an interconnected lock: turning the interior lever or knob retracts the deadbolt and the door latch at the same time, so someone gets out in one motion without having to throw the thumbturn first. That is the difference between this and a plain handleset paired with a separate deadbolt, where a person leaving in a hurry has two things to operate. Outside, it's key only.

The Del Mar covers both common residential backsets, 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore and you'll land on one of them. The edge bore is 1 inch. On a door already prepped for a standard bored lock you are almost certainly fine; on a new slab, drill to the backset you intend to use.

Interior trim is included. You pick the inside knob or lever style when you order: Ellipse knob, Round knob, Traditional knob, or a Curve, Decorative, or Federal lever. The three lever styles are handed, so you specify left or right hand; the three knobs are not. The rose behind it is your choice of Elizabeth, Square Bevel, or Traditional Arched.

Handing only matters if you choose a lever. Stand outside the door, on the side with the key cylinder. If the hinges are on your right, it's a right hand door and you order the RH lever; hinges on the left, order LH. Curve, Decorative, and Federal levers all come both ways. Choose the Ellipse, Round, or Traditional knob instead and handing drops out of the order entirely.

Yes. Keyed alike is an ordering option, and if you have an existing Baldwin key code you can supply it on the order so the new locks match the ones already on the house. Keyed different is the other choice. Cylinders are Baldwin 5-pin C keyway, which is what a locksmith will need to know if they're adding these to an existing Baldwin system.

It's a residential handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. That's fine for a house, a condo unit door, or a single-family rental. For a commercial opening you want a Grade 1 device, and if the requirement is really about a keypad or managed access on a multi-family entry, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente pairs a handleset with a SmartCode electronic deadbolt.

It's a bored handleset, so it goes into standard round cross bores with a 1 inch edge bore, not a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. That matters when you're replacing existing hardware: a door currently carrying a mortise entrance set, like the Emtek 3002 Memphis, has a rectangular cavity in the edge and won't take a bored set without repair or a new slab.

The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar starts at 1-3/4 inch, so a thinner door needs a different set. The Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset with Hudson knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington single cylinder handleset in satin nickel covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Deltana 810871 Montego handleset also spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. All three are single cylinder handlesets that fit a 1-3/8 inch leaf without a service kit.

The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is the interconnected peer, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors in the JI Series. Its lever side is passage function with the deadbolt keyed separately. The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar carries the emergency egress interconnect on a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it delivers the same one-motion egress in a handleset rather than a lever-and-deadbolt trim.

No. The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar uses a Baldwin 5-pin C-Keyway cylinder as standard, which is a different keyway from SC1. If the opening has to fall into an existing SC1 system, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador single cylinder handleset is supplied with an SC1 keyway SmartKey cylinder, Grade 3, exterior only for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where the Del Mar is used, it can be ordered keyed alike across the order so the Baldwin C-Keyway doors share one key.

Standard build is the same finish inside and out, but split finish is available and you specify the two finishes on the order. Eight to choose from: Polished Brass PVD (003), Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Nickel (150), Matte Antique Nickel (152), Satin Black (190), and Polished Chrome (260). That's how you match a bronze exterior to nickel interior hardware without changing the whole house.

Single cylinder is the configuration you want near glass, and it's what the Del Mar is: no key on the inside, just a thumbturn, so nobody breaks the sidelight and reaches a lock they can key open. The tradeoff is the reverse of double cylinder, which many jurisdictions restrict on egress doors for exactly that reason. Confirm the requirement with your local building department for the opening in question.

For a straightforward keyed entry on a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance handleset, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder handleset in satin nickel over the same thickness range. Both are ordinary handleset-plus-deadbolt setups. Neither gives you the interconnected single-motion egress the Del Mar has, which is worth keeping if the unit needs one-motion exit.

No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis brass mortise entrance handleset is a dummy - it has no keyed function and no working latch, so it is a pull for an inactive leaf. The same applies to the Emtek 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan, all dummy function. The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar is a keyed single cylinder entry handleset with a key cylinder outside and thumbturn inside. Use a dummy only on the fixed half of a double door.

The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder handleset with SmartKey is a Grade 3 entrance handleset, and the 687BW Belleview is the same Grade 3 entrance set in a different style. Both are supplied as exterior only for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the interior trim is a separate purchase - useful when you are keeping an existing interior knob. The Master Lock HDLB Series HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset. The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar is tested to exceed Grade 2 and ships with both interior and exterior for a complete entrance.

Several keyed-free and electronic options replace a cylinder handleset. The Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a Contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset over 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same set. The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar is mechanical, using a Baldwin 5-pin C-Keyway cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside, plus the emergency egress interconnect that retracts deadbolt and latch in one motion - a function the electronic sets do not carry.

For an opening that does not need a key, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is a non-keyed entry function set, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Weslock 6695 Belmont with Impresa knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest with New Heaven lever are dummy handlesets covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar is keyed single cylinder throughout, so a non-keyed opening in the same run needs one of these instead.

The Del Mar is a traditional design in the Baldwin Reserve Series, and the interior trim choices lean that way too, with Traditional and Ellipse knobs and Federal levers on Elizabeth or Traditional Arched roses. If your other openings are square and contemporary, the Square Bevel rose is the one that will read closer to that.

The Deltana entry handlesets are solid brass sets identified by series - the 803871B Hanover, 815871 St. Ann and 825871 Kingston are all entry function solid brass handlesets, and each is a distinct style within the same family. The Baldwin Reserve Del Mar is a traditional design keyed single cylinder entry handleset in the Reserve Series, ordered as a combination of finish, interior knob or lever style and rose - Elizabeth, Square Bevel or Traditional Arched - so a single part is configured rather than picked as a fixed style.
