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

Emergency egress means the Miami handleset is interconnected: one motion of the interior trim pulls the deadbolt and the latch back at the same time, so someone inside gets out in a single action without hunting for the thumbturn first. That's the point on a bedroom-level or main entry door where a panicked person, a kid, or an older resident has to get out fast. From the outside it still behaves like a normal single cylinder entry set: key retracts the deadbolt.

Both. The Miami entry handleset covers 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, which are the two backsets used on residential doors, so it drops onto an existing prep either way. Bore on the door edge is 1 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing hole to confirm which backset you're working with.

Yes. The Miami handleset uses Baldwin's 5-pin C keyway as standard, so it keys alike with other Baldwin C keyway cylinders. Keyed alike or keyed different is chosen when ordering at no charge, and if you already have a Baldwin key code on the property you can supply that code and have the set cut to match. That is the route to take if you're adding a door to a house or a rental unit that already runs one key.

Complete. The Miami set ships with both the exterior handleset and the interior trim, so there's no second order for the inside of the door. You do pick the interior style: contemporary knob, square lever, or tube lever, all on the contemporary square rose. Compare that to something like the Kwikset 687 Amador, which is sold as exterior only and needs interior trim added.

No. The Emtek 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets are all dummy function - they are pull trim with no latch or cylinder, used on an inactive leaf or a fixed panel. The Baldwin Reserve Miami is a keyed entry handleset with a single cylinder exterior and interior thumbturn that locks and unlocks the deadbolt. Use the Emtek dummy units on the inactive half of a double door and a keyed handleset on the active leaf. The Weslock 6695 Belmont and Weslock 2815 Hillcrest are dummy handlesets as well, and carry the same limitation.

The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder keyed entry handleset is the pared-back option. It is a Grade 3 entrance handleset for 1-3/4 inch doors and ships as exterior only, so it pairs with whatever interior knob or lever is already on the door. It comes in two keyway builds - the 687AMD SMT with SmartKey and the 687AMD SMC with the SC1 keyway and SmartKey - which matters if a portfolio is already keyed to Schlage SC1. The Baldwin Reserve Miami is a complete entrance solution that includes both interior and exterior trim, is tested to exceed Grade 2, uses Baldwin's 5-pin C-Keyway, and adds emergency egress so the deadbolt and latch retract together.

Six: Satin Brass PVD (044), Polished Nickel PVD (055), Venetian Bronze (112), Satin Nickel (150), Satin Black (190), and Polished Chrome (260). Every one of the three interior styles is offered in all six, so the knob or lever choice doesn't limit the finish. Interior ships in the same finish as the exterior by default; if you want the outside in one finish and the inside in another, specify the split finish when ordering.

The Miami is single cylinder: key outside, thumbturn inside. That's the normal choice and the one that keeps egress simple, since the interior always opens by hand. Where a door has glass sidelites or a lite within reach of the thumbturn, some buyers go double cylinder so the deadbolt needs a key on both sides. Bear in mind a double cylinder defeats the emergency egress behavior this set is built around, and many local codes restrict it on a required exit. If key-both-sides is the requirement, the Miami single cylinder is the wrong configuration.

Among handlesets of the same entry function, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a Grade 2 keyed entry handleset fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock HDLB Series single cylinder deadbolt handleset is also Grade 2. Kwikset's 687 Amador and 687 Belleview are Grade 3, a lighter duty step down, and both are exterior-only sets. None of those carry the interconnected emergency egress action the Miami has, so if the single-motion exit is what you're after, that's the trade.

Styling is contemporary, part of Baldwin's Reserve Series, with a contemporary square rose on the interior. If the rest of the property is running traditional or colonial trim, the Miami will read as a different family. Handlesets with a traditional look in the same entry function include the Deltana Hanover and Kingston solid brass sets and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial. For a matching fleet across a building, standardize on one collection and one finish code and keep it on the order sheet.

The Miami is a mechanical keyed set with no electronics. If you want code or phone entry with a handleset, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL San Clemente pairs a handleset with a SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and Yale Real Living's Assure Lock line with the Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors in standalone touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth versions. Worth knowing: those electronic sets are not interconnected, so you lose the single-motion egress the Miami gives you.

Neither is a commercial-duty unit. The Baldwin Reserve Miami is a residential handleset tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2, which puts it above the Kwikset 687BW Belleview and 687AMD Amador handlesets at Grade 3, and level with the Schlage F60 Addison and Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D at Grade 2. For a multi-family entrance door or a light-duty office suite door where a Grade 2 residential handleset is acceptable to the spec, the Miami, the F60 Addison and the Master Lock HDLB unit are the three that meet that line.

The Schlage Residential JI18/19 interconnected passage lock with keyed deadbolt and Torino lever in satin stainless steel is the closest interconnected peer. It is a J-Series interconnected unit at Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, with a passage function lever and a separately keyed deadbolt. The Baldwin Reserve Miami is a keyed entry handleset whose emergency egress interconnect retracts the deadbolt and door latch simultaneously from the inside. The JI18/19 is a lever-and-deadbolt set rather than a handleset, so the exterior appearance differs even where the interconnected behavior overlaps.

Yes, several. The Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock pairs a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BYRD226NRRX is the standalone touchscreen version of the same handleset for the same thickness range with no network function. The BYRD256 CBARX is a key-free touchscreen deadbolt with the Ridgefield passage handleset and trim connected by August. On the Kwikset side, the 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt, SmartKey, RCAL latch and RCS strike, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Reserve Miami is mechanical throughout - single cylinder key outside, thumbturn inside, on Baldwin's C-Keyway - and adds the emergency egress interconnect that none of the electronic units list.

The Sure-Loc Aspen AN507 single cylinder keyed entry handleset is built with an adjustable backset, and the Sure-Loc Madison MA507 keyed entry handleset is as well, so either can be set at the door. The Baldwin Reserve Miami is ordered to a fixed 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 inch edge bore, so the backset has to be measured before the order goes in. If the opening is already bored to either standard dimension, the Miami covers it; if a mixed set of doors is being turned in one trip, the Sure-Loc adjustable units avoid splitting the order.

The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona style handleset with Seville lever is the non-keyed entry option. It is a J-Series Grade 2 handleset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with no cylinder, which suits an interior or courtyard door where the handleset look is wanted but the lock is not. The Baldwin Reserve Miami covers the keyed opening - single cylinder outside, thumbturn inside, on the C-Keyway, with all interior trim finished to match the exterior unless a split finish is called out. Since the two are different brands, the finishes will not match exactly, so keep them on doors that are not seen together.

Yes. Deltana offers four solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston are all entry function in solid brass, and the 810871 Montego covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. All four are traditional series names, so they read differently from the Baldwin Reserve Miami, which is a contemporary design with a contemporary square rose and a choice of contemporary knob, square lever, or tube lever inside. The Miami is also the one that carries the emergency egress interconnect retracting the deadbolt and latch in a single motion.
