Baldwin EN.RUS.RAR.492 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Baldwin Reserve Rustic keyed entry knob fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The Reserve Rustic entry knob set drops into the 2.125 inch standard door preparation, so a door already bored for a common cylindrical knob takes it without new boring. The edge bore is 1 inch and the latch works at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which covers both of the usual residential bore centers.
2) Can I key the Baldwin Reserve Rustic knob to match my other Baldwin locks?
Keying is a selection on the order: keyed alike or keyed different, with an optional key code field if you are matching an existing bitting. The cylinder is a C-Keyway pin and tumbler, which is the only cylinder Baldwin builds these Reserve entry knobs and levers with, so anything else you want on the same key has to be C-Keyway too.
3) What is the closest keyed entry knob to the Baldwin Reserve Rustic when the door is a commercial opening that needs a Grade 1 lock?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic entry knob set is a residential-duty cylindrical entry knob. For a commercial opening that has to meet Grade 1, the BEST 8K Series entrance function single cylinder knob lock is a heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical knob in the same entrance function, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 Global knob is a Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder. Both keep the keyed outside knob and the single cylinder arrangement while moving to a heavy duty commercial chassis.
4) Is a dummy knob a substitute for a keyed entry knob set?
No. The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a keyed entry knob set with a single cylinder and a latch that operates in a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset bore. A dummy such as the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series single dummy, or the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy is fixed trim with no latch and no cylinder; it mounts to a door face for pull-only use on a closet or inactive leaf. Ordering a dummy against an entry opening leaves the door with nothing to latch or lock.
5) What should I use instead of a keyed entry knob on a storeroom or utility door that must stay locked from outside?
An entry function knob like the Baldwin Reserve Rustic can be left unlocked by the inside button, which is not what you want on a storeroom. Storeroom function keeps the outside knob locked at all times and requires the key on every entry: the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
6) The building keys to Kwikset. Is there a keyed entry knob on that keyway?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic entry knob set uses a C-Keyway pin and tumbler cylinder, so it keys into a Baldwin C system rather than a Kwikset one. If the rest of the building is on a Kwikset keyway, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock built with a Kwikset keyway for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) Is this Baldwin Reserve knob a single cylinder lock, and does that mean a thumbturn inside?
Single cylinder, entry function: key on the outside, no key needed from the inside. It locks and unlocks from the interior knob rather than a second cylinder, so it suits a front entrance, a side door, or a garage-to-house door where you do not want a key hunt on the way out.
8) Can I get a Baldwin Reserve knob with a different finish or rose on each side of the door?
Yes. Split finish and split rose are both order options on the Reserve Rustic entry knob, so you can run one finish on the exterior face and another inside, or a different rose shape on each side. Both are free text fields on the order, so state exactly which finish and rose you want on which side.
9) What else could I use instead of the Baldwin Reserve Rustic if I want a keyed entry knob in a plainer style?
A few directions depending on what you are after. The Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and the Deltana 6901 Portland Knob entry are solid traditional keyed entry knobs, the 6171 covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors and the 6901 covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. For a builder-grade turn, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. None of those carry the Baldwin C-Keyway, so they will not key alike with existing Baldwin Reserve hardware.
10) I need matching knobs on the bedroom and closet doors, not keyed ones. Does this Baldwin set do that?
No. The Reserve Rustic set here is keyed entry only, single cylinder. For the non-keyed openings you need a passage or privacy knob instead: the Dexter C2000 Series comes as a Grade 2 privacy knob and a Grade 2 passage knob, both for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex Baron FTF is available in both privacy and passage at Grade 3. Buy the entry function for the doors that need to lock with a key and the passage or privacy versions for the rest.
11) Can I mix Baldwin Reserve knobs and levers on the same house and keep one key?
Yes. Baldwin builds the Reserve entry knobs and levers on the same C-Keyway pin and tumbler cylinder, so a rustic knob on the side door and a Reserve lever elsewhere can be ordered keyed alike on one key. Specify keyed alike across the whole order and supply the key code if you are adding to locks you already own.
12) What is a simpler keyed entry knob than the Baldwin Reserve Rustic for a rental unit?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a Reserve Series entry knob on a rustic arch or rustic square rose with a C-Keyway cylinder. For a plainer keyed entry knob, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors that ships with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, and the Master Lock BC Series biscuit knob is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob. The Callan Edgewood is a Grade 2 entrance knobset if you want a step up in grade without the decorative rose.
13) What decorative entry knobs compare to the Baldwin Reserve Rustic on a residential front or side door?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a Reserve Series keyed entry knob offered in 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze on a rustic arch or rustic square rose. Deltana offers keyed entry knobs in traditional shapes for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, including the 3381 Egg Knob and the 6171 Round Knob, with the 6901 Portland Knob covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Delaney Brookhaven and Delaney Olivia are entry knobsets in the same decorative residential vein.
14) Is a keyless combination knob an alternative to a keyed entry knob on a side or service door?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic secures a side door with a single cylinder C-Keyway knob, so entry depends on carrying a key. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for 1 3/16 to 2 inch doors, which removes key distribution from the equation on a door used by several trades or tenants. It is a combination entry rather than a keyed one, so it will not join a keyed alike group.
15) Is exit device knob trim the same thing as a keyed entry knob set?
No. The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a complete cylindrical entry lock with its own latch, sized to the 2-1/8 inch standard door prep with a 1 inch edge bore. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with a knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function; both are outside trim that mounts to an exit device and do not latch on their own. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only, not a full lockset.
16) What keyed knob works on a classroom door where the outside knob is locked and unlocked by key?
Classroom function differs from the entry function the Baldwin Reserve Rustic uses: there is no inside button, and the key alone locks or unlocks the outside knob. The Dexter C2000 Series classroom cylindrical ball knob lock is a Grade 2 keyed classroom lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a non-clutching knob.
17) What finishes and rose shapes does the Baldwin Reserve Rustic entry knob come in?
Two finishes, 481 Dark Bronze and 492 White Bronze, each available with either the Rustic Arch rose (RAR) or the Rustic Square rose (RSR). All four pairings are built. If you are matching a run of doors where the existing roses are square, RSR keeps the trim consistent without changing finish.
18) Can I order one entry knob and one matching passage knob from the same series?
The Baldwin Reserve Rustic is a keyed entry knob set only. If you want an entry and a matching non-keyed knob in one order, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Bravura also runs matching passage knobsets by series, including the Albany, Lynchburg, and Dallas, all Grade 2.
