Baldwin DC.CHExROU.TRR.003S – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is a double cylinder handleset legal on a house entry door, or do I need a single cylinder?
The Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake double cylinder handleset takes a key on both the outside and the inside, so there is no thumbturn to exit with. That can be a life safety problem in a fire or emergency, and many local codes restrict key-operated interior locks on a dwelling exit door. Check your local code before you spec it. Buyers usually choose double cylinder when there is glass beside or in the door and they do not want someone reaching through to turn a thumbturn. If your code will not allow it, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is a single cylinder keyed entry handleset with a thumbturn inside.
2) Will this Baldwin handleset fit the holes already bored in my door?
It works with either of the two standard backsets, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so measure from the door edge to the center of the existing cross bore and order to match. The edge bore for the latch is 1 inch. If your door was prepped for a tubular handleset with a separate deadbolt bore, confirm the center to center spacing against the Chesapeake before drilling anything new.
3) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Baldwin Chesapeake handleset?
Only if you choose a lever for the interior trim. The Curve, Decorative and Federal levers are each ordered left handed or right handed, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side it is hinged on. The knob options, Ellipse, Round and Traditional, are non handed and work either way. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is a left hand door.
4) Can I get the Baldwin Chesapeake keyed alike with the other locks on my house?
Keyed alike is an option on the Chesapeake, and there is a key code field so you can call out an existing code and have new hardware cut to match your current keys. The default is keyed different. It runs the Baldwin 5-pin C keyway as standard, so anything you want on the same key has to be C keyway Baldwin cylinders as well.
5) I need a keyed entry handleset but local code will not allow a key on the inside - what should I use instead of the Chesapeake double cylinder?
The Chesapeake Reserve handleset is a double cylinder keyed function, meaning a key is required to operate it from the interior as well as the exterior, which many jurisdictions restrict on egress doors. For a single cylinder alternative, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison handleset with Accent lever is a Grade 2 entrance function fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial handleset with Eleganti knob is a single cylinder entry that fits thicker doors at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both let the inside trim retract without a key.
6) Our property is already keyed to Kwikset SC1 - can I key the Baldwin Chesapeake to match?
The Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake is built on Baldwin's 5-pin C-Keyway as standard and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed different with a key code supplied. It will not join an SC1 system. If matching SC1 is the requirement, the Kwikset 687AMD SMC Amador single cylinder handleset uses the SC1 keyway with SmartKey and is a Grade 3 entrance for 1-3/4 inch doors, though it is supplied as exterior trim only.
7) Is the Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake rated for commercial use?
It is a residential handleset, tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. That is fine for apartments, condo units and single family entries. For a commercial opening with heavy daily traffic you want a Grade 1 mortise or cylindrical lock instead, not a residential tubular handleset.
8) Can I have a different finish inside than outside on this Baldwin handleset?
By default the interior trim ships in the same finish as the exterior. Split finish is available, but it is not a dropdown, you enter the two finishes you want in the split finish field when ordering. Finish choices are 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).
9) What rose and trim choices do I need to pick to match my other Baldwin Reserve doors?
The Chesapeake exterior grip pairs with a Traditional rose on the interior, in three shapes: Traditional Arch, Traditional Round or Traditional Square. Match the rose shape and the knob or lever style to whatever Reserve Series trim is already on your other openings so the building reads consistently. The design is Traditional across the range.
10) I need matching handlesets on an inactive French door leaf - can I order the Chesapeake without the lock?
The Chesapeake Reserve is built as a keyed entry handleset, so it always carries a working cylinder. For a non-locking leaf, the dummy handlesets are the right call: Emtek offers the 3002 Memphis, 3004 Hamilton, 3005 Melrose and 3006 Manhattan brass mortise entrance handlesets in dummy function, and Weslock offers the 2815 Hillcrest dummy with New Heaven lever and the 6695 Belmont dummy with Impresa knob, both listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
11) What is the closest equivalent to the Chesapeake handleset if I want a keypad instead of a key cylinder?
The Chesapeake Reserve is a mechanical keyed entry handleset on Baldwin's C-Keyway. For an electronic equivalent on the entry door, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente handleset pairs Halifax lever interior trim with a contemporary SmartCode keypad electronic deadbolt and fits 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Yale BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with a touchscreen deadbolt and Ridgefield handleset over a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. Both replace the keyed cylinder function with code entry rather than duplicating it.
12) Is the Kwikset 687AMD Amador a direct substitute for the Baldwin Chesapeake handleset?
They are not interchangeable as ordered. The Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake ships as a complete double cylinder set with your choice of interior knob or lever trim, including the Ellipse knob, Round knob, Traditional knob, and Curve, Decorative or Federal levers in left or right hand. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador single cylinder SmartKey handleset is catalogued as exterior only, so interior trim is a separate purchase, and it is a Grade 3 entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) What is a simpler handleset if I only need the look and a deadbolt already handles the locking?
The Chesapeake Reserve is a keyed entry function with cylinders on both faces. If the door already has its security covered, the Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona handleset with Seville lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FS7P31 Lexington is a single cylinder entry handleset in satin nickel for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors if you still want one cylinder.
14) The Baldwin Chesapeake is residential - what handleset should I look at for a rental or light commercial entrance?
The Chesapeake Reserve is catalogued for residential use and is tested to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 security. If you want a stated Grade 2 alternative, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D single cylinder deadbolt handleset from the HDLB Series is listed as Grade 2 entrance function, and the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever is Grade 2 entrance for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, both single cylinder so the inside retracts without a key.
15) Would a Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock do the same job as the Chesapeake double cylinder handleset?
No, they solve different openings. The Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake is a bored handleset with a keyed entry function and a cylinder on each face. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 with Torino lever is an interconnected passage lock with a separate keyed deadbolt, listed as passage function, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the lever always turns freely and only the deadbolt takes a key. Choose it where you want single-motion egress rather than a keyed handle.
16) I want to get rid of keys entirely on the front door - what replaces the Chesapeake double cylinder?
The Chesapeake Reserve requires a key on both sides, which is the opposite of key-free. For a key-free entrance, the Yale BYRD256 CBARX Assure key free touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield passage handleset and trim is a Wi-Fi function for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Yale BYRD256CBARX Assure Lock 2 key-free touchscreen deadbolt with Wi-Fi and Ridgefield handleset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
17) I want solid brass traditional handlesets - how do the Deltana sets compare to the Baldwin Chesapeake?
The Baldwin Reserve Chesapeake is a traditional design double cylinder keyed entry offered in eight finishes including Polished Brass PVD, Satin Brass PVD, Polished Nickel PVD, Venetian Bronze and Satin Black. Deltana's solid brass entry handlesets are single-function entry sets in several styles: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann and the 825871 Kingston, plus the 810871 Montego for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Deltana sets are separate series rather than one platform with interchangeable rose and lever trim.
